The location of the hotel is great...
The location of the hotel is great and very convenient, very close to QVB shopping mall, supermarket, Darling Harbor and China Town. All these locations are just walking distance. It is also very easy to take the monorail or the train from Town Hall station. Airport shuttle bus to either the International or Domestic Airport is also available and the price of two-way ticket (AUD 24) for shuttle bus is definitely cheaper than the train. However, taking taxi from airport to city would be cheaper if you are traveled in a group of 3 or 4. The view at the roof top, that is the location of the swimming pool is really attractive. You do not need to go to the Sydney Tower to pay for a bird-eye view of Sydney. On the contrary, you can take very good photography of the Sydney Tower from this hotel.
As for the worst things for this hotel: the reception is small and it is very noisy during night time. You can easily hear people talking on the street even you are staying at high floor. The air-conditioner is also very noisy. Very often you can hear the siren of the police car or ambulance running here and there. There is a fire station very close to the hotel. The hotel shares 5 to 15 and the roof top of this building only, the other part of the building are apartment. There are only two lifts accessing the hotel floor and only one of them can go to the roof. The lifts are small and you need to take longer time to wait for the lift. The one go to the roof top can also be used by other people of the building. Therefore, hotel security is also an issue. Last but not the least, I would definitely to stay again in this hotel if breakfast can also be included in the price.
