“Short Stay in Sydney”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012

Stayed here for 3 nights prior to goining a cruise.
Firstly I would say that the hotel needs to update it's website as the price for a taxi and distance to city is incorrect. On arrival at Sydney airport we watched a short video on the plane giving transport methods and prices into the city. A taxi was quoted at $40 which in fact was slightly more at $43
We had a room on the top floor which was nice & quiet, the air-conditioning was very effective and the room was clean if a little small. We only ate breakfast once but what we had was good and plentiful. The hotel is within walking distance of Darling Harbour and slightly longer to the Harbour Bridge and the Rocks area. Plenty of shops/Bars etc within walking distance.
The staff were very pleasent andefficent and got a couple of maintenance issues rectified within the day..

This is a very nice review, thank you.

I am very sorry to hear about your taxi to the Hotel. It may have been possible the driver took a longer way to avoid traffic.

We hope you will return to Sydney

“just terrible”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 February 2012

person found this review helpful

the room was very cramped, with two kind size beds in a room really made for one, the bathroom was small and not very clean, airconditioner had broken vents and blew on my face all night. no view whatso ever, even people on higher floors commented on lack of any view, very high cost,!! feels like they are just cramming us in for highest premium based purely upon location.
room was so ssmall that when beds were sererated into singles for kids we were unable to access table and bathroom door freely, staff were reluctant in attitude.

“not a good experience”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 February 2012

The location is great, however that was the only good thing about the hotel. Firstly we arrived at 10am, too early to check in so we asked if they could hold our luggage, we were told we needed to pay $7 for a locker. I've stayed at a lot of hotels and have never had to pay to store my bags. Also the room we were given smelt revolting, like stale smoke. The rooms are tiny, and outdated making them uncomfortable, also it was very noisy. We asked to be moved due to the smell and were given another room which didn't smell but was also tiny. We also asked for our money back for the next 2 nights so that we could stay somewhere else and were told they couldnt because we'd already payed. The staff were unfriendly, and after asking numerous times finally we were able to get our money back and moved to a different hotel. Usually i dont complain but think other people need to be aware of this hotel. I wouldnt go back.
