    Great location. Beautiful building and cool, comfy, funky room. Super friendly staff and lots of little extra features.

    Quirky unique boutique style hotel in a good location. Accessible to most of Sydney’s attractions. The staff were helpful and friendly. The hotel was clean and the rooms were comfortable. The breakfast was not a set price, so we could order off...

    Lovely atmosphere in the bar and lounge downstairs. Excellent service from the staff, who organised a nice surprise for the birthday person amongst our group. Top location near Darling Harbour, walking distance to the Lyric theatre.
