Great location and lovely to be near the animals. The zoo is looking really good and was interesting to walk around and hear about conservation of endangered animals. The main reception area was really lovely with a great view of the harbour. Free parking and access to the zoo was great. Some of the facilities (sofas/dining chairs) were a bit tired/worn and needed rejuvenating. Breakfast staff could have been more responsive, but all in all a great experience.

This hotel was awesome! We booked an animal room and had three koalas living right outside our room the entire time! The views are amazing of Sydney! The zoo itself is also very nice and had a wide array of animals. I think this is a hidden gem and encourage anyone to highly consider it!

Wheelchair accessible room was great for my husband who uses a manual wheelchair. Restaurant Me-Gal was amazing and views are priceless from restaurant and main reception/lounge area.

The staff were excellent and the rooms were good. The accommodation included guided walks and breakfast. The drinks from the bar were pricey and the breakfast was not as good as a previous stay, with less fruit and toast spread options, bain-marie not that exciting and not particularly hot, not replacing items for guests that were having a later breakfast. The coffee was good. The breakfast chairs were worn and marked.
