The Hidden Gem

The location was super convenient. The area is historic. The staff was very courteous. Train station was a beautiful 10 minute walk. Your surrounded by museums, art Galleries. We were there for a back to back boat cruise. The port was a 5 minute walk. This hotel is a hidden gem and we plan on coming back.

This property is in an unbeatable location for exploring Sydney. The restaurants “Fine Food Store” and Snake Bark Thai were incredible and are right next door. The pool has a great view, but is much smaller and more basic than pictured. The hot tub not functioning properly.

The property is ideally placed is you are cruising in or out of Sydney. It is a 5 minute walk from the hotel to the cruise port, a 15 minute walk to the Sydney Opera House and a 4 minute walk to the Harbour Bridge climb. On Saturdays there is a fabulous open air market next door. I will definitely stay there again.
