Clean and budget friendly place to stay!
We had a great stay! The private room we had was simple but clean. Perfect for our family of 3 to stay in comfortably. The open shared kitchen and dining area were clean and nice to utilize. The roof top view of the harbour was amazing! The location was super convenient and easy to walk to access public transportation and popular sites to see. We felt very safe in the area as well. Staff were friendly and helpful! Definitely would book again if we get the chance to return to Sydney!

Clean but minimalist.
The room was very well maintained. I could have used a luggage stand for my large suit case. I could have used a small towel for showering and wash my face.

Great location for a few days in Sydney
Great location, very close to the rocks, view of the opera house from the roof top terrace.
Had a little issue with the first room (guest not obeying house rules) but was moved to a different room immediately. Friendly staff.

The hotel was built on an archeological site visible through the passage to the reception, cafeteria, and the rooms. The hotel modern, simply clean and functional, having a terrace with fantastic view to the Opera House and the surrounding downtown skyscrapers.

Pricey for a basic room - obvs paying for location in The Rocks. Lots of stairs to navigate in the area, but with that in mind it is close to ferries, Opera House.

Location and view from rooftop were outstanding! Top bunk bed was difficult to navigate, so we ended up putting it on the floor. Staff was very accommodating. Highly recommend.
