Great position. Close to the bridge, the Rocks, Circular Quay, Barangaroo and Wynyard station. Room was surprisingly large and fully self contained. Unfortunately there were building works so the pool, spa and sauna were not available. Queen bed uncomfortable and air conditioning kept making an intermittent funny noise. The sesk person lacked personality and could have been more cheerful. Having said all of this we still enjoyed our stay but would only go back if a king bed was available.

When we arrived we did have a minor cleaning issue, however the staff was very friendly and quickly went above and beyond to correct the issue with professionalism and ease. We were more than satisfied with our stay and will be recommending it to any of our friends who plan on traveling to the Sydney area.

Wifi available but doesn't work most of the time. When it works, its very slow. Had to switch two rooms because the first one did not have enough beds for the reservation. Then again because the one we got was double booked.

Rooms were showing their age and very poorly maintained. Holes in the wall filled in but not painted. Furniture worse for wear. Carpet wrinkle & lifting (apparently about to be replaced). Mould all over bathroom ceiling. Very dirty. Dusty and marks on the wall. Cleaners obviously doing the very basics. House keeping arrived after 3.30 in the afternoons after we were back from the day’s adventure. Just not good enough. Both times we arrived for check in rooms were not ready until late. Are they understaffed to save money? Overall very poorly maintained and run hotel.

Liked: Cleanliness
The location is great but they are renovating the property. If you get a room that hasn't been renovated, especially one facing the street, it's extremely noisy. Other issues: The internet cut out multiple times and the air conditioning shut off every day if you ran it more than 5-10 minutes. They kept saying it was fixed but it was a problem for each of the 5 days I was there. Also much more minor, the breakfast isn't onsite. It's about a 5 minute walk down the road. Overall, not something I'd normally care about but given everything else.. I stay in a lot of hotels for work (10-12 trips a year) and this was one of the worst stays in a long time. That said, the staff were friendly and i did move to a different room after the first night which was much quieter. If it wasn't for the internet and faulty AC the stay could have been much better.

Location was great, was within walking distance of most things we wanted to see in Sydney. Great sized apartment which was perfect for our family of 4. Would have given 5 stars but was slightly let down by not knowing that the pool was going to be out of action during our stay. Under maintenance.
