"Such a great hotel for seeing the sights in Sydney. Couldn’t be more convenient. It is just steps away from the train from the airport which runs every 10 minutes. And the same distance to the wharfs for the views, dining, shopping and to see the harbour bridge and the opera house. Just perfect. Beautiful room with a view of the opera house. Staff was super nice and helpful. Definitely will stay here again when in Sydney."
