Unique hotel. A little out of the way for restaurants but worth it for location on water. Included breakfast was okay but would have liked a couple more options. Staff were great.

Modern, funky and easy to access Sydney harbour
Situated adjacent to some great restaurants so you don’t have to venture far in the evening. Easy to explore Sydney on foot, as very close to the Botanic gardens and on the waterfront. Quiet. Breakfast is very good but the ‘included’ option is a bit restricted. We would stay again.

Where to start, we stayed with a group of friends for a wedding, across 5 rooms the experience was all identical: - The furniture and rooms are pooly maintained, wood veneers peeling off, dusty, etc - The previously free minibar is now even more overpriced than usual ($10.50 for 150g of peanuts for example) - The tap fell off repeatedly in the shower - The shower has a shelf, that is angled forward so far that any bottles will slide right off - The blackout blinds are in 2 pieces with a large gap, and several inches off the window so they don't block out anything - The staff were short, rude and unhelpful mostly - When going to get a late-ish breakfast (10am) we were offered the buffet for $35, we ordered the accompanying egg and coffee, then when we turned around the buffet was gone. Apparently they started packing up the buffet 20 minutes after we arrived and didn't warn us that we should hurry to get the food in time. They also forgot to make our coffees. - The room service is very overpriced, $30 plus a $5 room service fee for some guacamole (about 1 avocado worth) and half a packet of store bought corn chips, at least the guacamole was decent - The area is just far enough outside the CBD you'll be paying $30 for an uber to get in there, or walking quite a distance; alternatively the bus out the front was ok - There's really not much near the hotel, it's in a little dead zone just near the inner city

Very Average
Disappointing on a few fronts: had to change room as the first had a bad leak from the shower so although inconvenient was good to leave the musty/mouldy smell. The jacuzzi in the pool didn’t work, had to miss breakfast one morning after running out of time after waiting more than 30 minutes after ordering (only one other table in cafe so it wasn’t busy). Had a mix up on our dry cleaning and lift O/O one day, had to use the fire stairs to get out - no signs to assist/advise. Overall very average and wouldn’t return to this one.
