Little quibbles
Some guests reported a number of minor quibbles with the rooms and bathrooms. A lack of detailed cleanliness, a few broken items and the inconvenience of early morning cleaning services were among the short list of general room quibbles mentioned by guests. These experiences did not overly represent the many who provided this hotel with good reviews.
negative:
Parking may break the budget
As with all international cities, parking in the city center usually attracts a premium price. Notwithstanding that many guests are aware of restricted parking standards in city centers across the globe, some felt that the charges for parking at this hotel where exorbitant.
negative:
Sites further afield
Notwithstanding that the hotel is very close to major tourist attractions including the Sydney aquarium and Chinatown, guests are in for a little bit of a walk to Sydney Opera House, Circular Quay and to the start of the famous Sydney Habrur Bridge climb which are a 25-30 minute walk away.
