We stayed here on our first visit to Sydney in 2016 and loved it so we decided to stay here again. While the rooms appeared the same at first glance, it looks like they could use some updating (e.g. cracks in window panes, tub a bit stained, etc.) However, some things did remain the same: the staff are friendly and helpful, we were able to get an early check-in again (very welcomed after a 15+ hour flight arriving in early AM!) and a FABULOUS location. It is an easy walk to Sydney Harbour, Royal Botanical Gardens, the Rocks, etc. If you like whiskey, check out the Baxter Inn (just a short jaunt away). All in all, we’d stay here again.
