This was a perfect stay for our time in Sydney. Prior to our cruise, it is very essentially located. Everything is very walkable. If you do need to go outside of the central Sydney area, then there are trains and buses and ubers. But honestly, we'd walked most of the area. You could walk to circular quay into the rocks and other areas from the hotel. Everything is so very close and we did use a ferry and an uber to get to and from the torongo zoo. Go by Uber in comeback by ferry. It will drop you off in circular q u a y. The room was very comfortable with a mini kitchenette and a great balcony to look over the city. Check out was a little early at 10 AM. But it was fine. We ended up leaving and going to the cruise terminal in was able to get on board even an hour early! Look forward to coming back and staying on our return trip!
