I had a perfect stay at the hotel. They kindly had my room ready early, it was very clean & a good size. The location couldn’t have been better, less than 5 minutes to the Opera House! The breakfast the next morning was fantastic with lots of choice. I’d definitely stay there again.

We were very well locked after from the instant we arrived. Valet parking, complimentary drinks as my room wasn’t quite ready at check in time. Wonderful experience. Nice dark room for a sleep in and comfy bed. They made our dining reservations and walked us to our restaurant of choice. Wonderful service

Great location to train station and major attractions. Our king room is spacious enough and has an amazing view of both opera house and harbour bridge. The staff is very helpful all the way from check in to check out, and super responsive through their WhatsApp messages, love that! The rooftop bar is another highlight, great atmosphere, and we were impressed by both the view and the food
