i loved the location. it was an easy walk to the harbour. i also liked walking to "the rocks" area. i had an very nice room view (from my executive barangaroo harbour twin) of the harbour. i really enjoyed that.
check-in was a bit slow. i arrived around 3:15 pm. i had to queue at reception. my room wasn't ready right away (i waited about 15 minutes). i felt the reception staff needed more training.

Great Location and Comfortable Rooms

comfortable bedvalet parkingbilling errors
The room was spacious with a comfortable bed. Large viewing windows with seats were great. I had a wonderful view. Valet car parking was simple and convenient, especially given the street closures. I thought it was good value.
While the hotel itself is nice, the administrative side needs improvement. I had multiple billing errors and it was hard to solve these issues. I think basics like billing should be handled with more care.

The location was perfect, close to attractions and public transport. It was centrally located to explore the city and its major sights though the walk to the city was on a hill. I did need to walk down.
