Great location, only minutes walk from darling harbour. We had a superior room with 2 x queen beds for 3 of us. Rooms a little small but worked out ok. Not cutlery/bowls etc to self cater for anything apart from a cuppa which was a bummer. Clean, tidy, good amenities onsite.

The staff were friendly, welcoming and very helpful during our stay. The hotel was in a very convenient location, close to the centre of Darling Harbour and walking distance from the city centre, with easy access to trains. The room was clean and comfortable, beds were comfortable. The buffet breakfast offered lots of tasty options. Room service was helpful after a busy day of exploring the city. A good option for families and overall I would definitely recommend this as a place to stay for your Sydney visit.
