“What a fabulous stay, right in the heart of Circular Quay and the Rocks.”
Friendly, professional staff. Location. Facilities were immaculately clean. Loved the history of the place. Eleven though shared bathroom. It was one door away and we never needed to use it while it was otherwise occupied. Super comfortable bed and the pillows were exceptional.
