I arrived around 11 so I was early for check in but Denis on the desk was exceptional and took my bags and advised to return around 2 and the room should be ready and it was. The bed was extremely comfortable! There was a robe and slippers in the wardrobe. I was on the 18th floor and it was extremely quiet! Visited the pool once (it did start to rain)very clean and relaxing area to sit. The location was perfect 2 min walk to haymarket to get the tram and then central station about minute further! 100% would stay here again. Room was cleaned daily and fresh towels left, a supermarket just around the corner!

The location of the hotel is very good..It was within walking distance to nearby restaurants and shops. Tram stops and the Sydney central station are very near too. If you're up for a walk, Darling Harbour is only 20 minutes walk away. You can really get to most places in the cbd just by walking. The rooms are clean and have ample pillows for our family of 4. We were there during NYE and they even invited us to a NYE party which was totally free.
