"Conveniently located near George street but away enough from it as well. It’s an easy walk to Barangroo, The Rocks, Circular Quay, and Sydney Opera House as well as everything below from that. The hotel’s luggage storage was great since my flight wasn’t until 7 at night. I love that I have a washer and dryer in the room. I came back from a rainy whale watching day, which had a lot of salt water splashed on me. It was easy to do laundry at my convenience."
