Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests appreciated the fantastic location of the hotel, being close to landmarks like the Harbour Bridge and Opera House. However, many reviews pointed out issues with cleanliness, rundown conditions, and inadequate service, especially when it came to late arrivals. Overall, while the location is a major plus, the hotel needs significant improvements in maintenance and customer service.
