a Really good stay

handy kitchenetteclean bathroomharbour bridgeopera house
the room had a kitchenette that i found handy. a clean bathroom was very nice. the view of the harbour bridge and the opera house was special. i also liked that the windows opened instead of using the air conditioner.
it caused minor delays, but was manageable.

i got a room on one of the top floorswith beautiful views of the harbor bridge and the lights on the hills at night (it was quite a sight). a korean restaurant was right next door, providoor and a cafe were across the road. a supermarket was also a short walk away. the staff was helpful too.
the air conditioning could not be adjusted in my room, so i was either too hot or too cold.

convenient locationbus stopnearby supermarketnoise issuethin wall
The location is quite convenient. It is right across from a bus stop. It takes only 15 minutes to get to the harbor. A supermarket is also opposite the building, I found it good for stocking up on essentials.
The hotel seemed a bit old. The walls don't block noise well. This disrupted my sleep a lot.
