My stay at Harbour Rocks Hotel was nice, largely due to its fantastic location and the charming character of the building. However, there were a few drawbacks, particularly with the lack of a lift and some maintenance issues that detracted from the overall experience. The friendly staff certainly helped balance things out, but I encountered noise issues that couldn't be overlooked.

Rooms

The Heritage Queen Room had character, but it felt quite dated with minimal amenities. I found the lighting for makeup application to be poor, and the room had some maintenance issues, such as chipped paint and stained carpets. Additionally, the air conditioning was loud, which disrupted my sleep.

While the hotel had basic facilities like room service and housekeeping, the absence of a lift was a significant drawback. There were also a lot of stairs to navigate, which could be challenging for guests with mobility issues. Furthermore, the construction noise from neighboring buildings was disruptive.

The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making me feel welcome throughout my visit.

Overall, I would certainly consider rebooking due to its good atmosphere and excellent proximity to Sydney's major attractions.
