The hotel offers a lovely suite beautifully presented and clean, with elegant but slightly tired rooms. The service is professional, unobtrusive, and truly helpful. The location is fantastic, minutes away from Circular Quay, Sydney Opera House, and the ferry to Manly beach. The dining options, while satisfying, could use a touch more variety. Overall, great value for money with minor areas for improvement.

My stay at the hotel was delightful. The rooms had a beautiful view of the harbor and were huge, clean on arrival. While the 18th Century style may not suit those looking for ultra-modern rooms, it added a unique charm. Unfortunately, my room wasn't ready at the specified time of 3 pm, which was a slight inconvenience.

The hotel offers a nice retreat-like ambiance in its rooms with a view of the daily visiting cruise liner. The service was exceptional, especially with Viplav Shakya who was kind to my son and me during check-in.

My stay at this hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were very comfortable, spacious, and tastefully decorated, in line with the rest of the hotel. However, the lack of ceiling light in the room made it feel a bit dark. The bathrooms were huge and beautiful, the waiting times for the lifts were quick, and the breakfast was great, complemented by excellent service all-around. Yet, the hotel is in need of updating.
