“This heritage-listed building provides a boutique experience in the heart of Sydney's CBD. I was particularly drawn to the blend of historic charm with provocative, modern décor, and I think many will appreciate the frequent rotation of craft beers in the adults-only cocktail and beer garden. For those seeking a hotel with character and convenience, this is a solid choice.”

the location was ideal. i walked to darling harbour and haymarket central easily. the included continental breakfast offered a pleasant start to each day (especially the fresh fruit). the staff were kind and attentive, even offering helpful suggestions for local spots.

The staff at reception were quite helpful and friendly. The hotel room was spacious enough. Continental breakfast came included. They also have a cafe where you can grab a tea or coffee.
The shower only got to a warm temperature, not hot. The room felt very small. I could hear the people in the room above mine very clearly which was quite disruptive.
