"Conveniently located near George street but away enough from it as well. Itโ€™s an easy walk to Barangroo, The Rocks, Circular Quay, and Sydney Opera House as well as everything below from that. The hotelโ€™s luggage storage was great since my flight wasnโ€™t until 7 at night. I love that I have a washer and dryer in the room. I came back from a rainy whale watching day, which had a lot of salt water splashed on me. It was easy to do laundry at my convenience."
