Good location in The Rocks, but overpriced. No option to amend room to walk in shower when required as they say they don’t have any (website says different), no VIP room upgrade offered (not even any acknowledgment) and was unable to use the $25 food & beverage credit (which I had to ask about) as their bar does not open on Sunday or Mondays. I could’ve used it for breakfast, but that doesn’t start until 7am by which time I had left. Very disappointed that the $$$ does not match the quality or service it should.

Hotel stay in the rocks

Hotel was OK it was suitable, needs updating, best thing about this place is where it was located. It is Century located to walk down to the train station restaurants, and in the heart of the rocks the hotel itself is nothing to write home about.

Disappointing service. I had to argue for the $25 room credit & then even though I signed a chit for less the credit, they tried to bill me the entire amount on checkout. I asked for a room with a walk in shower due to my friends needs and was told they don’t have those, but their website says otherwise. For a venue that charges what they do, staff could also be better presented, several were dressed more for a hostel front desk!

Property was really rundown, but you can’t tell in the photos. Bed was clean and comfortable. Bathroom was clean as well. We had stayed at the Fullerton, then stayed overnight at Taronga Zoo, and then checked into the Harbour Hotel, so it felt quite lacking in comparison. But whatever it might have lacked, the neighbourhood made up for it. It’s an amazing location.
