Good but short of great.
Nice hotel in a great location. Walkable to opera house and many good restaurants. While a nice property I would not give it 5 stars. A bit dated and the dining is subpar. Most notably the top floor bar and restaurant. You're truly only playing for the view. The service and quality dont match the price you pay. There are much better paved to get a drink and eat. Go enjoy the view and head out. We had a room with a great view of opera house and bridge.

Rooms and amenities are becoming a bit outdated and could use some updates. Also, not very welcoming for a 5-star hotel to offer an "upgrade" to a room with better views for almost double the cost of your original stay. Otherwise as a comfortable stay. The bell staff was very kind and always acknowledged us going in and out of the hotel

Nice hotel, great location but pretty average considering the price per night. For $50/head extra, one small serve of cooked breakfast was extremely overpriced. Breakfast table was not cleaned properly. Crockery was dirty. For the price and reputation I expected to wish I could stay there all the time. It wasn't the experience I hoped for.
