My room did not have a phone to reach reception. The staff also did not know their direct line. I had to search online for the main number. The television and Apple TV did not work initially and kept disconnecting. The remote only worked sometimes.

Excellent Boutique Experience

The location provided quick access to the harbour via Pyrmont Bridge. The reception area looks great and is very trendy. I enjoyed the free snacks provided. It was a nice touch. I found the minibar items included to be quite generous.
The room was very cramped and it felt poorly ventilated. The extraction fan did not work in the bathroom. It was annoying to discover this issue . I hope this is addressed.
