In Sydney for a exhibition and found this hotel very handy to Darling Harbour (easy walk) which gives you easy access to all the facilities in Darling Harbour, also an easy walk to downtown. The area is very quiet and there is very little traffice noise at night, also off Harris street so quieter foot traffic as well. THE HOTEL:... More

Had the pleasure to stay here for 2 nights in Dec. Might be a little challenging to get to on own, I took a shuttle. Found it extremely central to many of the Sydney offerings like Aquarium, Imax, HRC to name a few. The hotel is simple, spacious rooms and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. The rooms however... More

Good location - no noise, a short walk to central station and broadway bus stops, comfortable beds. On the down side, for older less active people - a bit of a walk to public transport. Few Australian eateries close by. We had a major problem with the supply of hot water for bathing. we stayed 3 nights - i reported... More

This hotel is a 5 minute walk to the Powerhouse and 10 minutes to the heart of Darling Harbour, yet costs about half that of the bigger chain hotels! We had 5 people in our room, including a baby in a portacot, and there was plenty of space for everyone. The staff were very friendly and the parking was a... More

This hotel is on a quiet street and is well positioned for Chinatown and Darling Harbour. I stayed for 6 nights and the reasonable prices gave me a large room, good bed and pleasant and helpful staff. It is true the hotel looks a bit dated, and my bathroom needed a good scrub/paint but I didn't expect it would be... More

Reasonably priced for Sydney hotel, as they can be expensive. Bring comfortable shoes if you don't want to spend a fortune on taxis, it's 15 minutes to Darling Harbour for restaurants, museums, cruises and 50 to Opera House and Circular Quay. Easy walking though through Chinatown and main shopping areas, so lots to see on the way. Larger than average... More
