Fantastic location right on the beach at Manly and close to the Corso. Rooms were spacious. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff who made us feel welcome.

We chose this hotel as it was close to our son’s home.
The hotel is well placed for the beach, has a restaurant and a pub. Residents get 10% off breakfast which is already a bargain compared to other places.
Very clean and lovely staff.
I would definitely recommend

We opted to stay here mainly for the commanding view this hotel has over the bridge and opera house and from that perspective it didn’t disappoint
Had a better view than the bar on 36th floor / where the drinks were reasonably priced surprisingly.
Great location to walk to circular quay and recommend the .Brew co nearby got breakfast (always prefer to out of hotels if possible)

We really loved staying at Adge on Riley St. it’s a great location, with plenty of cafes and transport links nearby. The staff were really helpful and friendly, no problems at all. The room itself was fab! We had a balcony room and I was really big with a huge balcony! Just as described! We definitely stay here again. The coffee shop downstairs was also really good. We didn’t eat in the restaurant but it looked super cool and high class :)

Absolutely loved it here and would highly recommend and stay again if given the chance. We were well looked after from check in to check out, we stayed for 7 nights and enjoyed the bar and restaurant. Food was amazing (especially the olives) and very reasonable for Sydney. Location was perfect as we stayed during Vivid but even then it was easy to get around and great link from the airport. Thanks guys!

Room was perfect, very clean. Although on the smaller side, still plenty of room and storage space too. Location was great, easy walking distance from most attractions or stations. Breakfast was a smallish selection of hot food, cereals and salad, but was very good quality.
