Close to Transport(Central Station). And it has one of Sydney's very Good Breakfast Buffet and the Coffee Machine makes one of the Best Long Black Coffee. Excellent Staff, and the Rooms are big. ;( but ask for a City View Room.)

Called the hotel and was quoted over $400 for the night so I said I can get it for half that rate online so that’s what I did on Wotif When I got to the hotel I was told that the booking wasn’t in their system yet so go and have a seat and wait for it I was then told she can book me straight in but I’d have to cancel my online booking which I paid $207 for that had a no cancellation policy so she would take my booking directly for $260 and check me in straight away otherwise I would have to wait I said I can’t cancel my online booking and was told there is nothing she can do about that I presented my booking confirmation email and after demanding to speak to management she finally decided to check me in I’ve never been treated like that before by a hotel reception so it’s very disappointing

Lovely, quiet hotel an easy walk to the Sydney Central train station, which is just a few stops away from both the domestic and international airport stops. There are lots of dining options within a 20 minute or so walk, including Chinatown and Darlington Harbour. We had a great time exploring little cafes and restaurants nearby. The hotel has a pool and very friendly staff. The room was clean, comfortable and big. There is a bus stop around the corner where you can catch a bus across the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

Sauna was broken. Would only get to 40deg so was pointless. It's only useful from 60 degrees and upwards. Disappointed in both the sauna and the room size. Was apparently provided a room upgrade but the room didn't feel like an upgrade at all. Unfortunately will be trying elsewhere based on the price paid.
