Great hotel we have frequented this place. Our room upgrade was excellent. It’s a little disappointing that Tayim Restaurant is no longer doing breakfast and the live entertainment in the lane way has ceased. Hopefully they reinstate these in the future.

I loved how close it was to the harbour and surrounding pubs, restaurants, and bars which made it very exciting to explore the surrounding area. The markets also happen over the weekends so I enjoyed the selection of exciting experiences throughout my stay. The hotel itself was lovely and the room was more spacious than I thought which was nice. The staff were friendly and accommodating and overall I thoroughly enjoyed my stay.

This is our second stay. Great value & the location is fantastic. Love this little boutique hotel. The bathroom needs a vanity though, there is nowhere for makeup & hair dryer etc. will definitely stay again all the same.

An absolute gem in the heart of Sydney’s Rock district. The hotel itself is in a fantastic spot…close to major sights and shopping. The hotel was eclectic, modern and historic (all in one). Our room was spacious and bright. The hotel staff were wonderful.

Good Location
The hotel is in a very good location. The building suggests it is a former quayside warehouse from at least the 19th century and the interior has an industrial appearance. The ground-floor room on the side, and hence no traffic noise, was satisfactory and the bed comfortable. It was necessary to contact the reception on the first of two nights, after we had gone to bed, when a door in the corridor outside could be heard regularly banging shut, and it was resolved. However, the breakfast arrangement that we had paid for was very poor, being in a tiny public, off the street, French creperie café, also accessed from within the hotel. The available food menu was very limited.

Great location to The Rocks area, Sydney. Plenty of cafes and restaurants around; easy five minute walk to the harbour. Good markets on the Sunday. Reception staff were courteous and helpful. Room was big enough and clean. Bed was comfortable.

The hotel is heritage listed and this was a key reason we chose it. But our room was a totally modern room with a contemporary fit out and decor, nothing heritage about it. The room was also below ground level with no window. We could have been in any hotel room anywhere. It's a good location but the reality didn't match the advertising.

Great location and comfortable rooms. Being a boutique hotel on the heritage list, updates to the windows and bathrooms, although bathrooms being very functional, certainly had signs of ageing. Not having a lift made no difference to the stay since the luggage lift worked a treat. Would certainly stay there again .......

Lovely old school hotel, set in the heart of The Rocks, fab king studio room, with rooftop views across to the Sydney Opera House. Ten minutes to circular quay and heaps of restaurants to choose from. Tayim restaurant is attached to the hotel and the food and service there is second to none. Eric’s bar to grab a happy hour beverage and sit in the lobby is really convenient. Recommend to anyone wanting to stay in The Rocks.
