Housed in a beautifully repurposed historical wool store a short stroll from Darling Harbour and the light rail, this hotel wins guests over with spacious, thoughtfully appointed rooms, a warmly attentive team who go as far as handwritten birthday cards and personalised mirror messages, and an à la carte breakfast worth lingering over, particularly the chilli scramble.

A well-priced Sydney base where one remarkably hands-on staff member, Antouan, handles everything from bookings to room cleaning with swift, cheerful efficiency, and the spacious, kitchen-equipped rooms with balcony views offer solid comfort, though light sleepers should note that noise from partying guests has proven a real problem on occasion.
