Look, this place needs a little TLC, the bar and restaurant hours and atmosphere are lacking BUT what a great location. This place has a great pool and spa on the roof, terrific views and great staff. The breakfast is good (albeit the very pale sausages) and happy hour is great value. This place is right on the hub of the Rocks and only a 5 minute walk to the Opera house, ferries, trains and of course the Rocks markets at the weekend. I really would recommend this place despite the slightly tired rooms.

Room was a bit stuffy as the windows would not open and the ac did not seem to get the air down to the set temp. Bathroom was abit small and the old style tub a bit of a challenge to get in and out of.

Great location in The Rocks! Be Beautiful view from the rooftop pool area (though cruise ships could block it somewhat) and nice view from our window. We could see the Opera House, search the night sky for the Southern Cross, and watch flying foxes leave their far-off roosting place to head toward the city. Breakfast was an extra charge and we tried it one day. I loved that they had a laundry facility for guests.
