Great overnight stay! The room was beautiful, cozy, and perfect for a relaxing night's stay. The location was excellent, just a 15-minute walk to Darling Harbour, where we attended an event at the TikTok Entertainment Centre. The walk offered beautiful waterfront views, making it an enjoyable experience. We would definitely stay here again!

Absolutely loved it here and would highly recommend and stay again if given the chance. We were well looked after from check in to check out, we stayed for 7 nights and enjoyed the bar and restaurant. Food was amazing (especially the olives) and very reasonable for Sydney. Location was perfect as we stayed during Vivid but even then it was easy to get around and great link from the airport. Thanks guys!
