"All the staff were really helpful and welcoming. Rooms were a little dated and our window was unable to fully close so heard lots of traffic noise throughout the night. The room was fairly clean and a good size, the bed was also very comfortable! The location was great and being able to see the harbour bridge and Sydney opera house was amazing! We arrived early morning after an overnight bus and were lucky our room was ready which was a great welcome as we were both so tired. Would stay again!"
