The hotel is centrally located in the Haymarket area, close to Chinatown and walking distance to the Sydney Opera House and harbour. The room was a bit small but well appointed. Tastefully decorated in a theatre motif. The bed was soft so uncomfortable for those with back issues. Hotel is close to shops and restaurants.

Location was fantastic. Staff was friendly. I pulled my calf muscle, and the team ensured my room was closer to elevator. Will definitely stay here if I am visiting Sydney again.
