The hotel is convenient for exploring the city and within walking distance to many attractions. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, but being on floors 1-3 without much natural light could be a downside. The service was polite and helpful, although they were eager to clean early in the morning. The location offers easy access to various sights, but a bit far from public transport. The dining experience was satisfactory but could have been more comprehensive. The facilities were good overall.

My daughter and I had a bright light shining through our window all night, making it hard to sleep, but the room was clean and the staff were nice. The location is superb for exploring the city without a car, although there was noise around the pool area. The dining experience was cold and unappealing, and parking was expensive.

The hotel offers a spacious room with two good-sized beds, though it can get a bit noisy when the pool is in use. The service was friendly and helpful overall, but there were some dismissive instances. The location is superb, with easy access to major attractions in a quiet area of Sydney, although parking can be a challenge for larger vehicles. The dining experience was average, with basic quality food and cold dishes. The facilities are decent, providing comfort for a one-night stay.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. Despite the initial noise issues outside my room, the management was helpful in relocating us to a quieter area, for which I am grateful. The lack of natural light in the rooms was a downside, but the staff's responsiveness made up for it.
Rooms

At first, the rooms were very loud due to the external noise, and they lacked natural light. However, after being moved to a different level by the management, the stay improved significantly. It's not the most suitable for a relaxing stay but appreciated the effort to make it better.

The location, though close to the city center, had limited parking space struggles for larger vehicles.

The hotel's location is really central and convenient, making it suitable for a one-night stay. It's close to shops, transport, and major attractions in Sydney, offering easy access to everything we wanted to see. However, one bathroom had a constant air extractor, which could be bothersome during the stay.
Rooms

The room was tiny and had a musty smell, probably due to an overdue shower curtain scrub. Despite our early arrival for a wedding, the room was made up, which was fair enough.

The hotel offers clean and spacious rooms with all amenities for a comfortable stay. However, the lack of natural light and small window views might not suit everyone. The service provided is very helpful and friendly, although occasional dismissive behavior was noted. The location is convenient, close to major attractions but can be noisy due to echoing sounds. The dining experience varies, with some excellent homemade bread but inconsistency in food quality. The facilities are adequate but may lack the luxuries expected for the price.

The hotel offers lovely rooms that have been partially renovated, providing a very clean feel. However, the indoor swimming pool area can be very noisy. The service from the staff was really friendly and accommodating, though there were some instances of insincerity. The location is superb, with easy access to the city center and public transport.

The hotel offers a mix of great and not-so-great experiences. The rooms were designed for various moods, which made special moments enjoyable, but they were quite tiny. The poolside location was vibrant but noisy with early morning cleaning. The service was extremely polite and helpful, making the stay comfortable. The central location was convenient with easy access to shops and cafes, yet parking could be a challenge for larger vehicles. Dining was decent but lacking in quality and promptness. Overall, a stay that had its highs and lows.

Upon arriving at the hotel, I found that the rooms didn't smell fresh and were a bit small given the price. It felt like being in a dungeon even in broad daylight, especially since they are located on floors 1 to 3 without any views, making them enclosed and dark. However, the hotel's location is superb for those without a car and with engagements in the Darlinghurst area. Despite some congestion, the room itself was laid back and designed for all types of moods, worth the money spent to create special moments. The dining experience was at best ordinary, and the parking was expensive. Despite these drawbacks, Hyde Park is quite close, and there is ample public transport available.
