The hotel exudes historical charm and offers a cozy setting with a little balcony for sitting outside. The spacious bedroom is adorned with comfortable soft furnishings, creating a welcoming stay. Despite the charm, the pricing might not be the best value for money.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The location is fantastic, close to the harbor and many great restaurants. The rooms were spacious and had a little balcony where I enjoyed reading my books. The service was excellent, and the dining experience, although not offering individually cooked breakfast, was satisfying. On the downside, the Wi-Fi had to be paid for separately.

The hotel is perfectly located in a great area of Sydney outside of the fray, away from the hustle but close enough to walk to the Harbour, Opera House, and the Sydney Red Light district at Kings Cross. The rooms are spacious with a little balcony for sitting outside and boast supremely comfortable furnishings with a very comfortable bed. The service is excellent, and the price offers great value for money. The dining should have offered individually cooked breakfast options like simple eggs, but they do include assorted muffins. The facilities are top-notch, making the stay comfortable and relaxing.

This hotel is a hidden gem in a great area of Sydney, outside of the fray, and offers a delightful and cozy stay. The rooms have historical charm with books in the front of the house, making it feel like a unique retreat, and our spacious bedroom with a very comfortable bed ensured a restful night's sleep. The service was top-notch, although I wished there were more personal touches. The location is perfect, near the center of the city in a very pleasant neighborhood with great restaurants to explore. However, the dining experience could have been elevated with individually cooked breakfast options, though the fresh local fish was a delightful inclusion. The facilities were satisfactory, but I expected a bit more in terms of modern amenities. The overall value for money was decent for the experience offered in this quaint establishment.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel. The location was fantastic, situated in the vibrant Potts Point area of Sydney close to many restaurants and the Botanical Gardens. The rooms were beautifully decorated with comfortable soft furnishings and a little balcony for sitting outside, making it a truly relaxing experience. The service was impeccable, ensuring a smooth and pleasant stay. However, the dining options felt a bit limited and could have been more varied. The facilities were top-notch, especially the generous sitting area, contributing to a luxurious feel.
