A perfect spot for a romantic getaway

central locationrestful sleepinconvenient design
The location was AMAZING, walking distance to many attractions. The room servicing was daily, easier to maintain cleanliness and order. Black out curtains are AMAZING. They ensured a restful sleep every night.
The bathroom design made it easy to get the floor wet after a shower. I found this quite inconvenient.

The queen room included a comfortable bed and a nice sized TV. It also featured a desk with kettle and daily tea and coffee. A fridge and a private bathroom were also provided. They had wall mounted 3-in-1 hair, body, and face soap.
Location
10/10
The hotel sat at the edge of Darlinghurst and Potts Point. This provided easy access to various attractions. Kings Cross Station was less than five minutes away on foot. It provided quick access to the city center in one stop. Several restaurants, a Woolies and a Coles were nearby.
