The hotel is within walking distance to most major attractions in the city, near Circular Quay and Darling Habour. The apartment was spacious and clean. The receptionist was really helpful. Check in was quick and easy.

The location was great, just a nice stroll to just about anywhere, and trains and buses were just around the corner. Although the units are order style that means they are much bigger. The daily servicing is great and the heated pool and huge spa were a bonus.

Excellent accommodation
Wonderful older style two-bedroom apartment with plenty of room to move around. Great views of the freeway and Harbour Bridge approaches. Well equipped kitchen and comfortable beds with plenty of storage. Added bonus of Birdie restaurant next door which has great food and wonderful staff. My only complaint is that the lounges were too soft and hard to get out of. They need replacing. Walking distance to the Light Rail and Wynyard station.

The hotel was not what we were expecting. We have children and we’re out on the 23rd floor at first then moved to 16th both with balconies which are not appropriate for young children so we had to move hotels. We were not told we would be up this high before hand and the manager was not very helpful.

Very nice and large apartment. The ONLY disappointments were: I had to request a trash receptacle for the kitchen since the one in the bathroom was only one provided; I had to request a kitchen towel; and the bathroom sink remained plugged for the entire stay despite requesting maintenance.

These apartments is value for money. A little outdated, but the beds and linen are comfy and new, balcony for fresh air, modern amenities. The washing machine and dryer were super helpful when traveling multiple cities for work, negating the need to pack heavily. The staff were lovely and helpful. Location was perfect.
