"Location was perfect. We absolutly loved being in such a historic area. Amazing stores/shops/food all over the place. We were not prepared for the hills and steps but had a great time. Great communication with the owner. We were able to check in a little early after an early morning flight. House layout is a little odd (but expected for an older place like this). Main floor has 2 bedrooms, living room and the only (very small) bathroom while kitchen and master bed are upstairs. We had 5 adults...

10/10 Excellent
"Great location to the Darling Harbor and Sydney China Town; easy access for transportation; very friendly and helpful staff members. I specifically love the filter water fountain at the hall; very helpful to me when I just arrived and could not find the nearby convenient stores. I would come back and stay at this hotel next time if I go to Sydney again; and of course; I would recommend it to relatives and friends"
