Excellent City Stay
historical wood modern design front desk mini bar
The hotel has historical wood built into the modern design. The front desk has staff available 24 hours. The location provided a great advantage near city shopping. Free items in the mini bar plus toiletries were available.
Rooms are rather small I thought the room was only suitable for one person two people would find it cramped. The lack of wardrobe space made it challenging to store luggage. Sitting space was limited mostly to the bed.
Rooms

The room included avant-garde artwork it provided a visually interesting space. Quiet rooms are available for a restful stay. I found it easy to relax without disturbances in my room.

Mixed feelings about this STAY
missing info qr code
The location was good. It was a quick walk to Darling Harbour.
The hotel really didn't live up to my expectations, ESPECIALLY for the price I paid. Info was not provided at check in and there is no info in the rooms. The in house dining was the only QR code available and we couldn't order at 8.10pm when we tried.
