We still loved it ... but with the lovely details lost - we just loved it less.
Pros:

Location! Gorgeous views and a lovely 'cool' boutique style hotel.

Cons:

We stayed in this room 3 years ago as a special treat and loved it - it needs a refresh, scuffed walls, dirty windows (a shame with such a beautiful view!), minimal facilities. Sibella needs to come back and give the place a 'shoosh'! A lot of the lovely styling of 3 years ago is diminished.

Lovely one night stay on our way to the Blue Mountains.
Pros:

The old charming character of the whole space, room was comfy and the chicken wings were to die for.

Centralt, men mangler lidt lækkerhed
Pros:

Central beliggenhed tæt på The Rocks og Circular Quay.

Cons:

Mørkt og dystre gange, er nok mere en pub med værelser ovenpå, føles ikke som hotel.

Located close to Barangaroo and Walsh bay, clean and comfortable.
Pros:

Location was convenient for the event we attended at Barangaroo.
The room was clean and comfortable with a view towards the harbour.
Check in is at the bar which was quick and convenient with helpful staff who spoke about parking arrangements and entering and exiting after hours.
Plenty of breakfast options a short walk away at Walsh Bay with great coffee at a reasonable price.

Cons:

No milk supplied for tea and coffee.
For the price we paid $315/night we would be happy to pay $316/night to include milk.

Would never stay here again. Room too expensive for what you get.
Pros:

It is in a great location .

Cons:

Bed was well worn, mattress sloping at sides and obviously old. Paint peeling on some walls. Every thing old . Picture definitely looks a lot better than what it actually is.
