Staff was more than courteous when they assisted us with an early check in after 20 hours of flying. We only stayed one night but would definitely come again. Conveniently located to tons of Sydney landmarks including the Sydney Opera House.

The location is great, right in the Rocks with food and shops around. Rooftop has great views of the Sydney opera house and harbor bridge. The staff was very helpful, we were able to check in early. The gentleman who works nights at the desk was excellent, any question he answered and he helped us out with our luggage that malfunctioned. Rooms and bathroom are a bit small, but we were only in there to sleep. The place is a maze, it’s a triangle, but part of the level is down a few stairs.
