Reviews and Ratings
I had a lovely stay at the hotel, enjoying the beautiful views of Sydney Harbour and the friendly service. However, room selection is crucial for harbor views, and the dining options could be more varied.
The service was exceptional, from pre-arrival assistance to helpful staff available at all hours. The location overlooking Sydney Harbour on North Head provides stunning views. The dining experience was generous but had limited seating during busy times. Overall, a quirky yet adequate stay option with historical charm.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the service was kind and helpful, the rooms were a bit disappointing with cleanliness issues and unprepared bedding. The location is lively but not ideal for those seeking a peaceful retreat. The dining was satisfactory, and the facilities were decent but limited.
The hotel's rooms were awesome, and the food was sensational, though we faced an issue with the sofa bed not being made up for our kids as requested. The service was tremendous, especially for the wedding we attended, with cheerful and professional staff even driving us around at 2 am. The location is absolutely beautiful, providing a tranquil retreat close to Australia's biggest city, with its own beach and a good connection by boat to Sydney. The dining experience was very reasonably priced and delicious, though the lack of planning was evident in some areas. Overall, a relaxing and picturesque stay.
