Disliked: Amenities
Very close to the harbor and walking distance to the bridge. The room smelled bad, industrial carpet and mildew on the bathroom tile. The room was ok for the price and I would probably stay there again. It just needs better care.

Clean room older style bathtub shower combo which isn’t my favorite. I prefer a walk in shower. Bed was comfortable and the WiFi was decent. Very convenient to cruise terminal and sight seeing. Lots of shopping and food nearby. Biggest disappointment was breakfast buffet. As picking were pretty slim for A$40

Excellent location near Sydney harbour, however the room we stayed in was very poor, wet, worn carpet by bathroom, very old shabby worn , very basic. Black mold in bathroom. Bath very stained and smelt of mold and damp. Fridge didn’t work. Luckily we spent no time in it. Only to sleep! They took 200 dollars as deposit when we booked in, however to return deposit will take 5days! Wouldn’t recommend
