Wonderful Harbour Stay

great viewconvenient accessinconsistent temperature
The hotel location was excellent. It was very close to the harbor, parks, and ferries to Circular Quay (a great spot for sightseeing). The size of the apartment was great, and the views were really good. I particularly enjoyed the convenience of being right on the harbour with easy access to many cafes and restaurants.
The shower's water temperature changed unexpectedly. This made it difficult to maintain a consistent and safe temperature while showering.
Dining

The hotel offered a cozy cafe in the foyer. It had nice food, coffee, and excellent service. The location is also steps away from Darling Harbour, offering many restaurants to choose from for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
