Great location if you want to stay north of the Harbour. The immediate surrounds are all city and somewhat quiet and empty post Covid (other than the trains station) but just south is lots of great stuff - parks views cafes harbour bridge etc
The Harbour view from rooms that have it is fantastic with the main downside being trains that roll in under the hotel. Wont affect everyone, did affect my sleep. The plus was we could keep our small dogs with us in our 3rd floor room (at extra cost) and that made it worth it.
Staff are overall friendly and helpful but the check-in arrangements for this visit were not customer focussed as the hotel usual entry and car park were undergoing maintenance and the alternatives provided were to arrive at6a side entrance where standing was illegal and telephone for a porter. Not nearly enough customer focussed.
