Reviewed by Pati of Hamburg on Jun 16, 2009

From the friendly greeting by the Doorman in top hat and black coat to the welcome and helpfulness of the concierge staff to our immaculate room to the breakfast buffet....the word is EXCELLENT. The concierge staff went above and beyond to be accomodating arranging tours, massages, providings maps and directions. Hotel is right in the heart of Sydney, truly just a short walk to shopping, restaurants, bus lines (including tour buses), ferry lines and all the "tourist" attractions. Don't miss the breakfast buffet for only $20. The best buffet in the city. We would absolutely recommend this hotel. Worthy of more than a 5 star rating.

Reviewed by J of Essex on Apr 18, 2009

The hotel is ideally sited for the main attractions around the circular quay. The atrium room was quite spacious and well equipped. There was free internet access. The staff went out of their way to be courteous and helpful. We did not have breakfast included but went literally across the road to an excellent, vibrant and reasonably priced cafe. Overall, no complaints.
