Pros:

Beautiful location within an easy walking distance of the beach and little shops and food. It was a beautiful view!!

Cons:

It was really noisy on the Saturday night until very late. Into the early morning. Even after the pub closed there was a lot of people talking and it was easily heard from our room. To be expected though, but I didn’t realise when we booked we would be directly above the DJ/pub area.

Pros:

The location was amazing and the Hotel was beautiful. I loved that they had a family room option. The Mezzanine level with two single beds was a great layout when you are travelling with kids.

Incredible location, pretty rooms with charm on one of the most beautiful locations in Sydney!
Pros:

It was very quiet considering we were there on a Saturday and it is above a busy pub with a dj.
The room was very nice and big for a family of four, the loft was a hit with the kids.

Cons:

Maybe for the price we are used to a hotel that has a pool and a gym and so maybe the breakfast could have been a little fancier to make up for those things.

Pros:

Beautifully decorated

Cons:

The first room we were in was looking out to the bin/delivery area, my daughter had worked night shift so i asked to be moved they were very accommodating and moved us to a room on the other side of the building. also, would suggest complementary umbrellas.

Pros:

Lovely room and property decor. Location and views are amazing.

Cons:

Noise and music from the bar courtyard was very loud in the room, the windows could really do with some soundproofing.
Unfortunate that the harbour view rooms (which are more expensive) are directly above the bar area.
