Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
No USB port in the room. Dusty and broken curtains, carpet frayed and coming up, mouldy bathroom and TV remote did not work. This property has aged considerably and no funds have been used to repair existing fixtures or replace broken ones. Staff were scarce and not helpful at all. Will not be staying again.

A rundown era

Definitely a hotel at the end of its life. The whole site is getting demolished and sold off as more apartments, so you get the feeling the whole staff have already mentally 'checked out'. A hotel that's designed for the 80+ age bracket of guests, overpriced parking, and a "whisky" bar that closes by 8:30pm, even on weekends. A relic of another era that I'll be glad when gone.

One of the best in Sydney

One of the best hotels I have stayed at. Large room, marble bathroom, chandeliers, nice little french balcony. Steps away from the Opera House and many restaurants. Stayed for Vivid. Nice open fire at reception area. Nice old style hotel, reminded me of an English 5 star hotel.

Beautiful old style, very comfortable and lovely foyer/breakfast buffet, absolutely great staff. I was disheartened by the low standard of coffee in the room, sadly no Nespresso machine or decent instant. Also the noise of the road below is incessant. That said, great comfortable beds, amazing spacious room and good bathroom. I even had a sweet swim in the pool!

We celebrated our birthdays and wedding anniversary locally at Aria, this is a fantastic place to stay so close to the Opera House and Circular Quay… The breakfast could be value for money but it wasn’t great - the hot breakfast was cold and barista made coffee was extra on top of the $39 pp price.
