The hotel has a great location, and i think they should advertise it more as it only a 10 minute walk to Darling harbour, 20 minutes to Circular Quay, and take a right out of the hotel and within 10 minutes or so there is a great selection of restaurants and bars. You can walk everywhere and it is really close to Museum station and James Station.
When we walked in we thought the hotel looked very posh, and the reception area was very nice, but the room didn't seem to equate to the 4star rating. Although it was very comfortable and clean, it was dated and very small. We didn't want a massive room as we spent most of our time exploring the city and only use the room to sleep in, but it would've been nice to have a little extra floor space.
The staff were great, very friendly and helpful. The shuttle bus they arranged for us was very convenient and cheaper than public transport, so i would recommend that. They even recommended blue mountain tours and vantage points for the fireworks prior to our stay, and whilst we were there, did everything they could to ensure we had a comfortable and enjoyable stay, whilst seeing everything we wanted to.
The hotel was very quiet, even though it was over the new years period and the staff were great, and whilst the location was ideal and was just what we wanted, the room could've been slightly bigger. I would recommend staying here.
