I had a wonderful stay at this quirky hotel overlooking the MCA. The rooms were excellent value with their individual wallpapers and fresh flowers, but the dining experience left a bit to be desired. The service was exceptional, and the location couldn't be more convenient for exploring Sydney.

My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The location was perfect for exploring Sydney, being close to Circular Quay and all the transport options. The rooms were spotless and very clean, although a bit small with no view. The service was top-notch with accommodating and friendly hosts. The dining was simple but good, and the pub downstairs had a nice spread for breakfast. Overall, a great value for the price.

The rooms were spotless and extremely close to the rocks, harbour foreshore, and fabulous restaurants. The bathrooms were very clean, but the room was a tad small with no view and a broken blind that let in a lot of street light at night.
