The hotel was nice. Rooms were exceptional. Unfortunately the pool area let it down. The glass by the pool is dirty and the pool is a little too cold for a 5 star hotel. For what we paid we would expect those little bits to be better but a nice hotel overall. Great spot next to the light rail stop

We are total hillbillies living for a few days beyond our means. The hotel is so classy, clean and with great views. The bathtub is in front of a western window and we bathed and watched the beautiful Australian sunset. I loved it. The staff was so accommodating. Not one nasty person and the included breakfast kept us from eating till dinner. I loved Australia and staying in Sidney in such a classy place, was a great way to conclude a month of trekking!!
