This was the perfect spot for a stay in Sydney Harbour area. We are from the States and it is our first time in Australia The location is perfect and extremely walkable to wherever you need to go. Great views of the Harbour from the rooftop/pool area, and the access to the gym (Anytime Fitness) just a few blocks was also a great amenity. All of the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Could not have asked for a better stay in Sydney!

Staff was more than courteous when they assisted us with an early check in after 20 hours of flying. We only stayed one night but would definitely come again. Conveniently located to tons of Sydney landmarks including the Sydney Opera House.
