Discover Charming 2BR Unit The Rocks

Fantastic location. Well recommended. Would happily stay here again. Positive: Location was fantastic. We deliberately chose a 'Rocks' location so that we could explore that area more. It was only a few streets from the main heart of 'The Rocks' and there was very good access to public transport. Even thought it was the Easter weekend, a lot of the area was trading and there were lots of things still happening. The ferry services from Circular Quay to Darling Harbour are plentiful and we found ourselves crossing from one side to the other all day. Negative: Just to be clear, we travel a lot, and our expectations are always reasonable. This is not a listing of what we didn't like, but a listing of what to expect when you arrive. This was a heritage listed original dwelling from 1906. The dwelling beside this one, which is a bit bigger and a different layout, sold in 2017 for $2 million. I have stayed in brand new $2 million penthouses before, and this was absolutely not that. It is located up the hill towards the Harbour Bridge onramp from the city. There is no traffic noise. There is a pub opposite, and the patrons stumble down the stairwells in front of the dwelling until about midnight. Some are loud, some are not, but the noise echoes. For being towards the top of the hill, there was no view. You are staying here beacuse of the location and, so some degree, because of its heritage history. The bathroom was tiny. There was plenty of hot water and the shower was pretty good, but the bathroom was old. The rooms are all small, and the kitchen is dated, but functional (and, to be honest, we didn't use it at all). The rooms were not air conditioned but there were plenty of fans. Power access was challenging - the points were obviously put in to address the heritage limitations, so there about 8 million power packs run all over the place. We were there in autumn, so the fans were sufficient. I suspect that it would be cool in summer due to the heritage heavy block wall construction, but possibly very cold in winter. Lastly, and just to be clear, this is not really a criticism but a statement of fact, The Rocks is all about stairs. Long runs from the harbour to the bridge. So, if stairs are not your thing, just be very aware that the stairs are everywhere.

OVERPRICED- old and could do with a decent clean Positive: Location was good BUT directly opposite a noisy pub! Negative: NOT clean! HOT was not advised about no aircon which was worse in 43 degree heat. Noisy!!!!

Hard to beat the LOCATION for the price Positive: Location was the best! Next to an amazing bar and walked everywhere. It was kinda fun staying in a historical site. Had a convenient laundry room. Negative: No air conditioning but had plenty of fans. No closets or dressers. I understand that it was an historical site but it needs more repairs.

Great place close to the centre of Sydney Positive: Location and character are good Negative: Bathroom is in need of renovation

Great Rocks location Positive: Wonderful location at The Rocks. Negative: The stove needs to be replaced. It’s awful.
