Stayed mid October prior to cruise. Hotel was in a good location for getting around. Close to China Town (busy and noisy), and walking distance to all areas like Circular Quay and the Rocks area. About 10 minutes to central train station. We had an apartment on floor 15. Full kitchen. Living room. Bedroom. Laundry room. Huge balcony. Unable to use much as weather not great. First impressions were it was a bit worn. But it was clean. One lift out of order but not horrible waits luckily. Swimming pool closed for maintenance. Didn't even see it. Biggest downside was the noise. At least 6 train tracks which ran directly in front of hotel. All night. Non stop. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. We would stay again. Take ear plugs and enjoy!

We chose this hotel for its location - close to Central and Museum stations and a relatively easy walk to Darling Harbour and Circular Quay. We had a two-bedroom apartment on the 7th floor. The apartment was huge, with a large living area, adequate kitchen (with a pod coffee maker), two bathrooms (one with a bath), laundry, large balcony and even a walk-in robe off the main bedroom. The bed was large and comfortable. That’s the good stuff. The bad stuff included being told on arrival that the pool was undergoing renovations and was empty. The view from the balcony was of other units, said empty pool and an otherwise veritable wasteland, with absolutely no attempt having been made to make the area look attractive. The wifi was woeful! Connection was possible in the living area and kitchen, but the minute I wandered through to the main bedroom it was lost. The apartment was DATED, with chipped furniture, flaking paintwork, dodgy drawers - in desperate need of a makeover. On the plus side, the staff were friendly and helpful and the servicing of the apartment was good. Would we stay again? Probably not.
