This property is in an unbeatable location for exploring Sydney. The restaurants “Fine Food Store” and Snake Bark Thai were incredible and are right next door. The pool has a great view, but is much smaller and more basic than pictured. The hot tub not functioning properly.

The property is ideally placed is you are cruising in or out of Sydney. It is a 5 minute walk from the hotel to the cruise port, a 15 minute walk to the Sydney Opera House and a 4 minute walk to the Harbour Bridge climb. On Saturdays there is a fabulous open air market next door. I will definitely stay there again.

The hotel was in a great location but in desperate need of an overhaul. There was no vent fan in the bathroom. Both the bathtub and sink appear to have been painted at one time.
