The breakfast layout was across two rooms which was not obvious at first.

“The hotel has an excellent, convenient location by Sydney Harbour with great transport links and nea”
The hotel’s location is absolutely ideal, situated right next to the main attraction, Sydney Harbour, and very well connected for transport. It’s also incredibly convenient, with plenty of restaurants and shops just a short walk away close to the harbour area. I opted to pay extra for a harbour-view room, and it was definitely worth it—the view was fantastic and really enhanced the overall experience.
