Stayed for 6 night in February 2006. The location of the old holiday inn can not be beaten. This is the second time stayed at the hotel and Sydney was just as enjoyable this time. Staff very helpful and pleasant. Had a deal that included breakfast and this was very good and kept us going through the day. The hotel is right in the middle of the rocks which is handy for restaurants, bars and many tourist attractions. Room was of a moderate size, but only really used for getting our heads down at night as there is so much to do in Sydney both near the hotel and further afield.

Stayed here for 2 weeks. Great view of the opera house if you get an up-grade room. All you can eat breakfast was extra. Just a short walk across the street to Circular Quay. Rocks open air market next door on Saturday & Sunday. Helpful staff. Washer & dryer for guests. Ask about the shuttle bus to the airport,much less than a taxi.

Excellent position. Room typical of any other holiday inn -we paid for an executive room so it was larger than average and we also specified a harbour view which was impressive.
Roof top pool was very disappointing - very shabby and not at all like the photos!!
So ok but nothing to rave about.

My boyfriend and I stayed at this hotel for 4 nights during out 3 week trip to Australia. The hotel is superb, outstanding in every way. I would not want to stay anywhere else in Sydney! The hotel reception is bright and modern and the description that it is old and not well kept by the previous reviewer is simply not true. The staff were fantastic, breakfast was plentiful, the restaurant was great and the rooftop pool was amazing. We spent nearly every afternoon in the pool and the views of Sydney harbour are breathtaking. The hotel has excellent standards of cleanliness with staff constantly around keeping things tidy. We stayed in an executive room and the price was brilliant value for money. Our room was spacious with a huge bathroom and the biggest bed I have ever slept in! The guest laundry was right next to our room which was really handy and very cheap to use. The standard rooms are probably smaller but if you pay for a standard room then thats what you have to expect. The location was unbeatable with access to the market, the bridge, the opera house and circular Quay within minutes. You have to stay here if your staying in Sydney its fantastic!!
