Room had an awful smell, with stains all over the carpet. Bathroom was in poor condition with previous occupants hair on the floor. Definitely an average stay for a $500 per night room.

Swimming with a view of Sydney harbour was just delightful and a memory to last a lifetime! Unfortunately we couldn't get the spa going when we were there. Staff were great and location was just unbeatable to access all the best bits of Sydney!

The location is very good. You can park your car underground at cost $79 per night. However you are not allow to load / unload your belongs in front of hotel ( they said you may got fine but we don't believe) you must do that on a small road besides the hotel by yourselves. there are door with some high steps. Not recommend if you have heavy luggage

We spent 2 nights at the hotel. We have stayed before so knew what to expect. The parking is expensive. The hotel is now quite old and the bathrooms could do with an update. I am 75 and don't like having to step into a bath to shower.
