10/10 Excellent
"The property was well maintained both inside and out. It was easy to get to and great location with dining with train and bus stops one block away. The breakfast was plentiful including generous portions and options, with breads and pastries, protein, and fresh fruit and juices. The staff was extremely helpful, always kind and friendly. They even helped us get our room ready for a very early check in before 10 am of our arrival. They always greeted us and made sure that we were welcome. Would gladly stay here again."

"Such a great hotel for seeing the sights in Sydney. Couldn’t be more convenient. It is just steps away from the train from the airport which runs every 10 minutes. And the same distance to the wharfs for the views, dining, shopping and to see the harbour bridge and the opera house. Just perfect. Beautiful room with a view of the opera house. Staff was super nice and helpful. Definitely will stay here again when in Sydney."
