Really loved our stay here. We're planning to stay here again when in Sydney. Rooms are very clean with a great view! Loved the rooftop and morning sun. The only thing to note is that if you are staying on the 3rd floor, some rooms are on the end where you'll need to take a few steps down and is a bit challenging when you have heavy luggage.

The morning buffet was very poor, kept clean but limited items on it. The place was great and easy for walking down the steps to the rocks. The upper bar on the roof was with a beautiful view of the opera house , harper bridge.
