Filip (7/5): Great location, and super roof top terrace. - The location is perfect, in the middle of the city close to everything. The rooftop pool and terrace also had a beautiful 360 view. Felt safe in the Hotel. The SPA only worked 1/4 days on our stay, and they said they were going to contact maintainance everyday - but nothing happened. Left us a bit dissapointed each day.
Stephen (8/5): - Room was fine with a great view of the harbour. Excellent location. A little tired, discolouration in bathroom (floor, bathtub etc) but nothing major and understand we're paying for the great location above anything.

Linda (10/5): We enjoyed our stay, the comfort and cleanliness of our room was good but overall the hotel is showing signs of aging. P - Location very convenient to Port of Sydney Stairs to swimming pool not safe and hotel appearance a little tired. Location of lifts being in one zone, congestion of lift service. Provision of another lift service area would be more convenient.

Stamper (7/5): -
Marnya (5/5): It was okay. - The location The spa didn’t work the whole weekend, the rooms smelt musty.
Vanessa (8/5): Absolutely fantastic location and roof top - Absolutely incredible location and the roof top spa was incredible Receptionist barely speaking English made check in harder. Our room had a double and sofa bed but the sofa bed wasn't made up properly. It only had sheets and no duvet / blanket making for a sub standard sleep. Disappointing
Clive Weston (6/5): - The location was ideal, the breakfast and room were very good the bar and food could have been available on Sunday evening
Jay (4/5): - How close it was to harbour Overpriced for what we received. No parking other than valet which wouldn’t fit my car anyway. Bathroom tiny and minimal water pressure through shower. Last night we had problems with sheets where both my wife and I were scratching all night and ended up with rashes and woke us up at 2 in morning just to remove the sheets and sleep with none.
John (8/5): -
Alfred (7/5): Conveniently locate hotel to catching a cruise. - Location
Brooke (7/5): - Awesome location, beautiful views of the harbour and opera house, friendly staff. The property was very run down and really needs upgrading. There was a smell of mould throughout.
Tammy& Steven (9/5): Great location & friendly helpful staff - The location was excellent, Staff were friendly, 24 hour reception was appreciated, great pool and spa with an exceptional view. Beds were comfy, the breakfast/room service was amazing, loved the option to have our room made up, or recieve a $10 credit (we used our credit for breakfast) Bathroom was looking a bit tired
Alison (8/5): Would definitely recommend to cruise goers, couldn’t get closer to overseas passenger terminal than this - Short stroll to wharfs and ferries and markets. Very dated, limited power/ charger ports
bill (6/5): - Location Hotel a bit tired, needs renovating
CandySplits (6/5): - The only thing going for this hotel is the location, and they charge accordingly. Thank goodness the bed was comfortable. Woefully average room where you pay premium prices. Decor is a bit out of date. I just can't get past how much they charge for such an average room. Shower was pretty subpar, can count on limited water pressure.
Darren (9/5): -
Katherine (7/5): -
Tania (8/5): -
Janette (9/5): -
Karen (10/5): Convenient and comfortable. - The location was superb, really close to circular quay. The rooftop bar with its view of the Opera House - once the huge cruise ship had moved!! Nothing.
Lauren (2/5): Awful. Overpriced. Would be lucky to class this as a 2 star hotel. - The location. Only the location. The bathrooms are disgusting and filthy and don’t look like they’re cleaned often, shower had no water pressure. Incredibly noisy, can hear all the noise from outside, whether it’s trucks or people partying. One of the reception males is incredibly rude and needs some customer service lessons.
Krisna Hoey (8/5): -
NGIE TECK (10/5): -
Lauren (1/5): I wouldn’t even give this hotel 2 stars. - Convenient location. Filthy bathrooms with hair from previous people in it. Mould on the ceiling and walls. Grout filthy. Bath filthy. Paper thin walls. Rude reception staff (the one I dealt with was male).
Mark (3/5): - Location Rundown very disappointed with the condition. Felt like we should have been charged hourly rate. Electrical plug-ins are worn, and they won't hold a phone charger.
Philipp (9/5): Top Lage in The Rocks und toller Dachpool - Die Lage ist absolut spitze, perfekt um die bekanntesten Sehenswürdigkeiten von Sydney zu Fuß zu erkunden. 5 min zum Circular Quai, 10 min zum Opera House, mitten in The Rocks mit tollen Restaurants und Bars. Die Zimmer sind sauber und für die Lage zweckmäßig absolut okay. Auch das Frühstücksbuffet war reichhaltig und gut. Das absolute Highlight ist der Pool auf dem Dach mit Blick auf die Skyline, Oper und Harbour Bridge über den gesamten Hafen, mit beheiztem Whirlpool. Einfach traumhaft.
Mosch (8/5): Great value, excellent location especially for a cruise. - A bargain hotel for the price and location. The beds were very comfortable with lovely crisp and soft bedding. Excellent location, right by the ferry terminal, train and tram. Move anywhere with ease. The staff were all very helpful and friendly. We stayed here before a cruise and it was so close we could see the ship and an easy walk to board. The hotel is old and this shows in the finishings of the room, however, for the price point, it is priced well and totally worth it. The bathrooms could do with some renovation.
Barbara (10/5): - Na
Claudia (10/5): Perfekte Lage -
Elizabeth (8/5): Great location, lovely staff. Needs a little TLC - The location could not be better. The staff were all friendly, efficient, helpful and knowledgeable. A little shabby is parts but didn’t take away from our stay.
Langdon (10/5): -
Emily (7/5): - The convenience of location. The old building. It’s too dark. The hallway sconces didn’t provide a lot and the breakfast warm food was cold.
Joe (8/5): -
Linda (8/5): Great for overnight prior to cruise - Location- perfect for cruise terminal A little old
Emma (10/5): - Clean and comfortable and central to our needs.
Richard (6/5): -
bobbie (8/5): -
Tangaroa (10/5): - Everything Non
Malcolm (8/5): - Clean comfortable accommodation in the heart of the Rocks area at reasonable price. No pen and paper to make notes of where we were going.
Jeanette (10/5): Staff were nice, room was clean & tidy, I will be back. - Clean and comfortable The shower was a little fiddly in adjusting the water temp. Couple of free cookies with the cuppa would have been nice. Makes the welcome a little special.
Kim (10/5): Extremely handy place to stay if you’re going on a cruise. - Great value for money. Right in the middle of the Rocks, close to circular quay and literally 5 mins walking distance to the cruise terminal. Got off the plane, caught the airport train directly to circular quay where we walked to the hotel. Too easy! Nothing. It was great.
