Great location at Watsons Bay - perfect really.Big, comfortable, well appointed room.
TV didn’t work. Room was a bit noisy.
Location and relaxed friendly vibe
Service could be improved outside on the terrace
Large comfortable lofts, with all you need. Amazing location and restaurant for evening
Breakfast a bit basic
the views from the harbour side rooms are incredible, and the location in general is spectacular, even more special thank I remembered
a bit more effort on breakfast buffet would be great. As everyone knows there is quite a lot of music on the deck/restaurant, but I had anticipated that
Spacious room with a stunning view of the harbour
The buffet breakfast had a very limited choice
Beautiful location. Nice staff. Room comfortable and nicely appointed
Room was huge and was clean, location is amazing. Staff were amazing
Bed was far too soft for us with small movements resulting in disturbance.
The staff were so friendly and helpful.Location is unbelievable - so much better than staying on the cbd.Hotel is beautifully designed and decorated. Fantastic having the bar and restaurant downstairs.
The one and only thing we found less than perfect was that the bed had a strange squeaky waterproof cover on the mattress that was noisy when you turned over
Modern, clean, comfortable. Great location.
Very hot in the stairwell/foyer areas. Not comfortable.
Everything! Great boutique hotel, with lovely laid back beachy atmosphere. Our room was lovely, spacious and extremely comfortable with a fantastic view over the bay to the city from the little balcony. Brilliant location with lovely beach and park right outside and the ferry only metres away straight to Circular Quay in 20 mins.

Great view, location was very nice, room facilities were reasonable
Based on pricing and marketing we believed this would be an up market boutique hotel. We even paid extra for the room with a view. What we discovered is that it is really only some renovated rooms above a pub, and the rooms with a view are next to a large beer garden that plays loud techno music all day: from 2pm until very late in the evening (at least on Friday and Saturday - thankfully we only wasted our money there for 2 nights). Staff were unresponsive when we sought to raise the issue at 10:30 on Saturday night, we ended up having to go and find the pub manager who had little interest in the problem but said the music would be done by 11 - in the end it was only turned off at 11:20. Despite getting assurances when we checked out that management would be in touch to discuss and provide a partial refund, repeated follow ups have gone unanswered. This was anything but a boutique luxury hotel experience and definitely not worth the premium price that was being charged. Find somewhere else to stay, we would have had we booked more nights.
Great position, access to ferry’s and a nice small hotel.
Nothing all good..
The room was spacious and comfortable with plenty of comfortable chairs. The balcony was small but the view was priceless. The bath view was exceptional. There was plenty of power points for device charging and places for luggage. The location and quality of the buffet breakfast was second to none and easily accessed. Room service was convenient and free. Staff were friendly and helpful.
Even though the bathroom was beautifully designed I felt it lacked space and safety rails both in the toilet and shower cubicles, particularly in the shower. The floor tiles were extremely slippery, made worse with soap; and the edge of the bathtub is sharp. Could be an accident waiting to happen.
Great location. Clean well presented room. Friendly staff and a great Continental breakfast
We stayed in the harbour view room for 4 / 5 people on the top floor and the view was just amazing. We all absolutely loved the room (which included a mezzanine floor with 2 single beds, which had plenty of space and seating for 3 adults and a teenager. We appreciated the coffee maker, delicious biscuits, fridge, spacious bathroom and robes.We just loved the location of the hotel. Good parking, delicious fish and chips, right by the ferry, so you could dash out to catch it. Wonderful walks to Parsley Bay and Camp Cove for swimming in the sea, plus the local sea pool. It was my favourite accomodation of our 3 and a half week trip, where we stayed in 8 different places from Port Douglas to Melbourne and in-between.We went to the attached pub one evening and the pizzas were really nice. Didn't love the beer though. We were out and about the rest of the time and tried great pub food on Rose Bay and Brontë.
We did really like the breakfast, but it was a little hit and miss what was available depending on what time you went (fruit/pastries/cutlery/dishes etc). It was served in a beautiful room though and the coffees were made to order and were lovely.
Fabulous location
Breakfast was chaotic, food didn’t come out quick enough and was pretty average. The room had a great view but air conditioning was so loud I couldn’t sleep with it on
Gorgeous stay. Room was cosy and quiet. Close walk to the beach
NA
Excellent staff (especially the guy that checked us in) that made our stay superb! Location is incredible and the rooms are huge.
Furniture that takes advantage of the view - higher sofas and more comfortable terrace furniture.
