Can't beat the location
We loved the lobby entrance, the location, and our view of the harbor and the Opera House. There wasn't daily maid service perse as we noticed that the room wasn't thoroughly cleaned even upon arrival as phone and desk area was quite dusty. They came in daily and made the bed gave fresh towels but didn't look like they really cleaned. Beds were comfortable and room was spacious. The pool access involved a flight of stairs and then stairs to the entrance of pool and it was a shallow pool in a small space, however the rooftop view was spectacular and there were tables and chairs around the pool area where one could take snacks or wine while enjoying the view. Restaurants, shops, and transportation conveniently located.

This hotel was perfect for us since we needed a place close to the cruise port. We simply walked across the street with our luggage the day of the cruise. Another plus is that it’s centrally located with many shops and restaurants close to it. We also enjoyed the free Rocks Museum that is located in the alley way next to the side entrance. The rooftop had a beautiful view of the Sydney Bridge and Opera House, however there are many bugs up there which made it a bit uncomfortable. I would stay here again in the future if I ever go on another cruise out of Sydney. The price is very reasonable for the amenities you get. They also have a little bar in the lobby and a breakfast restaurant. One night we didn’t feel like walking outside and the room service steak was delicious!
