Nice place to stay. The air con in the room was terrible. It was set at 30 degrees and could only be changed by telling the front office staff. Made no sense at all. Great coffee, but both out breakfast meals were served cold. Disappointing.

I have stayed at this property on two occasions. It is extremely clean and walking distance to ICC and light rail. Parking is available across the road in a parking station. Breakfast and coffee were good. Staff were polite and friendly. Only drawback was the air conditioning which despite supposedly being individually controlled in each room did not work properly and was a bit warm even after bringing this to the attention of staff.

The property was exclusive and of interesting structure. The staff was extraordinarily nice however the room had some demp smells when entered. The air circulation system was turned of what most likely caused these smells and the windows couldn’t be opened to overcome the unpleasant odours.

Conveniently located for Darling Harbour area, we had a good sized, stylish room with a great bathroom. The bed was very large with best pillows I’ve experienced in a hotel for some time. The hotel was quiet and all the staff were welcoming and helpful. The only down side was the complete lack of view from our top floor room - it was just walls of adjacent buildings. However, I suspect there was little to see (a car park and other hotels) in the immediate vicinity.
