10/10 Exceptional

This small hotel and staff were exceptional. My room was spacious, quiet and had a nice fridge for my wine. It is located in the heart of The Rocks area, close to the harbor, tram station and scads of restaurants. I am going back to Sydney in 2027 and will book one year in advance to ensure my stay.

Best location and a lovely hotel

This hotel is in a fabulous location in the Rocks and access to many attractions USA bonus. Lovely hotel but lots of stairs and managing luggage is difficult so next time I will use a backpack.
