    Nescafe is not coffee. You shouldn't be charged extra for proper coffee, but they did forget to put it on the bill!

    Traditional "grande dame" hotel, a bit threadbare in places but with excellent service. Breakfast rather expensive for a buffet, but the food was excellent.

    I didn't dislike, but the hotel is looking a bit dated an old, which, for what I paid is fine, however, I do question if the non special rates are worth the cost. Just being honest. It is a nice hotel though.

    Awesome location, and the special I booked on was great value, otherwise, I'm not so sure. Room was comfortable, breakfast was good, and having parking and a bottle of wine included on the Staycation special was awesome.

    As mentioned above, the ridge in the bed needs to be fixed for better comfort

    It was spacious & comfortable. However, the bed had a ridge in the middle, due to two beds being joined together. I know that this is common in hotels, but I don't usually notice the ridge. Perhaps this needs to be reviewed. The marble bathroom was amazing. Location excellent, in Circular Quay. Perfect for VIVID

    Would not recommend breakfast for the price you pay. Coffee terrible and waffles still frozen. Bain Marie’s could be at a higher temperature. No hash browns 😢

    It was a quirky hotel, would recommend.

    The bar/restaurant was closed on Sunday night. I would prefer to order breakfast from a menu with a fresh coffee.

    Great location to walk to town or circular quay. Spacious rooms. The hotel has an old world charm.

    I love this property. It should be preserved.

    Beautiful. Charming, divine decor. I feel so sad that this property will be dismantled. A bit neglected but has old world boutique charm. It is as I understand part of a heritage complex.

    The bar staff ... they just didn't care. We sat at the bar and ask for two of the on-tap Japanese beers, she just said, 'were out' and turn away and just keep cleaning stuff, she didn't offer any of the bottle beers we could see in the fridge. After I ask for two Crown beers, she just open them with no glasses. Another couple sat near me and asked for whiskey which we could see she picked the bottle up and against said 'its empty' no sorry etc.

    The location was great, the room was big and clean, the breakfast was very good and the breakfast restaurant manager and staff were outstanding.

    No valet parking. No help with bags from car. No restaurant . Free wine included in deal mentioned when booking in at 3 rang later to remind them arrived about 6 being a bottle of red expecting cold chilled white wine or sparkling wine. Asked cleaning staff for additional pillow when making up room never arrived.

    Location excellent room spacious. Loved lights came on automatically in bathroom.

    Breakfast was very underwhelming. Despite I had paid for 3 days breakfast one day was enough. It was cold and not of a standard I would expect. Had breakfast elsewhere for last 2 days. Also poor lighting in room. Only lighting is lamps.

    Location was excellent. Close to circular quay, Opera house and gardens. View from balcony overlooking gardens was nice. Beds were comfortable.

    There is nothing that I could say in any negative way about this hotel. It is superb.

    This property is a historians delight. The features inside the hotel are remarkable and it’s amazing to be able to stay in an establishment that has been so well preserved for our pleasure.

    Concierge was unable to give us advice on best round the harbour trips to take on boat. HIs English was very poor and he did not appear to understand our question. The restaurant was not open during our stay. We had one meal in the whisky bar which was quite tasty.

    Lovely spacious room overlooking the park. Great location near to the Opera House and Botanic Gardens. Lovely whisky bar with excellent selection of whiskies.
