I couldn’t find anything negative Their service quality is 💫 The staff went above and beyond . The breakfast was so good with a variety of food . So many restaurants around The bay is closed by and the rest of the transport I think is the best location to stay close to the city center.

I enjoyed the 5* cleanliness (pillows a tag old and flat and protector had uncleaned stained ) and the heated pool, staff were courteous like it supposed to be in hospitality, yet most 4* hotels lack off in Australia. 5* with the discounted rate, would be gladly considered, but not value for a room in a full price tag and no water views.

We like the location of the property. It's public transport friendly all the way from the airport. Its quiet and away from the touristy side of Sydney's CBD. Yet, it is walking distance to almost everything. The amenities are modern and at the highest standards. The best part of our accommodation experience aside from the actual hotel itself was its staff. We meet Lisa, probably the House Keeping Supervisor/Manager who happened to be around when we came back to our room whilst it was being cleaned. Lisa made sure that our room was replenished in time and politely reminded us to let them know if there is anything else, they will be gladly to assist.

Beautiful hotel in great location to get around Sydney. The true treasure of this hotel is its staff. We travel extensively and the service by every single staff member at this hotel is exemplary. An absolute credit to the hotel. The warmth and genuine hospitality is the best we have encountered. The rooms are beautiful and luxurious and serviced twice daily.
