10/10 Excellent
"Could not get a better view (Opera house view high floor), the automatic curtains opening to the view of Sydney harbour when we walk in the room was breath taking. The staff was amazing we arrived very early (7am) and they were so kind to check if out room was ready early , store our luggage while we explored and text us when it was available. The hotel is beautiful and spotless. The shower was fantastic. The king bed and pillows were some of the comfiest I've experienced in a hotel. The location is prime, one train 6 stops to Circle Quay and then only a 3 min walk up the hill to the hotel. The harbour is pretty much on your doorstep.Wish we stayed longer in Sydney. My wife and I enjoyed a nice take away in the room with our view every night."

"This is the first hotel at which I have stayed that offers an early arrivals lounge. As someone who arrived at the hotel at 8 AM with check-in not available until 3 PM, it was fabulous to have a place to stay that provided coffee, water and cookies. I also greatly appreciated to get the call at 11 AM that I could get into my room. Whenever I go to the Sydney opera, this will be the hotel where I will stay!"
