The 2 bdrm apartment was perfect for our needs and it was very spacious. The washer/dryer is a combo machine and doesn't work great, but eventually did what we needed. Not far to Sydney Harbour, so great location

The location was great, near the public transportation and main areas like Circular Quay and the Harbour Bridge. We walked to all of those and it was about a 10 min walk. The amenities were great at the hotel. We had a 3 bedroom. The views were great. We had a kitchen and washer & dryer which was super nice. I didn’t know we had that or I would have packed less clothes. They provided the laundry soap too. It was clean. My only complaint was the carpet is older and worn and the kitchen cabinets are older and are harder to open and close. Those could use a remodel but the bathrooms were updated nicely. It was cozy and worked perfectly for our family of 5. Everyone had their own space to spread out. The 2 balconies were great. The pool was cold but the hot tub and dry sauna were nice. We used those daily. I would stay here again.
