“Great place on the water in Sydney”
Only drawback is do not book a room witth a tub . I am tall and I had a hard time gettign in and out of the super high tub with no handles which is also the shower. They need to change that! I cut and brusied my leg badly.
“I wish I lived here!”
We loved this hotel. It is within walking distance, sometimes short walks, sometimes long, of what we wanted to see in Sydney. Sydney is a great walking city for a traveler with diverse interests. It seems to be a city that grew without much of a plan so is a bit helter-skelter but that adds to the interest and charm. The hotel is adjacent to the Sydney Botanical Gardens, Art Museum, Central Business District, The Rocks, Harbor Bridge, lots of coffee houses and restaurants. It is not a gigantic tourist resort hotel. The restaurants on site were great but expensive. Food in Sydney is very expensive. We would just set out in the morning and walk, always knowing that if we could find the botanical gardens we could find our hotel. The rooms are stylish and extremely well appointed. High quality bedding and amenities. We loved the contrast between the restored warehouse with it's gigantic mechanical and battered beam contstruction and the sleek decor of the hotel rooms. We would definitely go back, but this time for a longer stay.
“Great Location”
This was a great hotel. We found out on the Sydney Harbor Bridge Tour that this is the largest wooden structure in the Southern Hemishpere. This was not in the advertisement and was cool to stay in such a place. We had some noise from a party in the lobby, but they hotel staff gave a good compensation for it. It was a nice place to stay and very convienent to the downtown area by cab and walking.
“Blue”
Nice hotel, with lots of attached restaurants, and iconic Harry's just 200 meters down the block. Little bit of a walk to Argyle Street and the Rocks, but also nice to be a bit away from all the commotion.
