Great location for a few days in Sydney
Great location, very close to the rocks, view of the opera house from the roof top terrace.
Had a little issue with the first room (guest not obeying house rules) but was moved to a different room immediately. Friendly staff.

Pricey for a basic room - obvs paying for location in The Rocks. Lots of stairs to navigate in the area, but with that in mind it is close to ferries, Opera House.
