“In my opinion, this hotel's location suits those ready to explore The Rocks and Circular Quay on foot. The historic building houses rooms that, while compact, are reportedly equipped with comfortable mattresses. Noise from the street is something to consider, though the rooftop bar, Henry Deane, is worth it for the views.”
