Hotel Harry Ascend Hotel Collection

The food was excellent and bar had a great vibe and a good choice of drinks. The staff were all very friendly too and quickly fixed any issues. The hotel is in an excellent location too.

Despite the alluring overall decor and vibe of the hotel, it unfortunately didn't live up to expectations. Like a hipster Fawlty Towers, our guest experience was a little disjointed and didn't match the price tag. The room was poorly finished when we looked closely at some of the fittings, the nature of the building meant that hard-to-reach places had been missed off the cleaning list and we almost had a small fire when a fuse blew! As expected with a busy bar, it was noisy on a night, however it was a little frustrating to hear the conversations of other guests checking out at 6.30am as the sound travels in the corridors easily.

Great location, walking distance from Central and restaurants like Chin Chin just across the road, the room was ready early which made the day much easier. Newspaper in the room was a nice touch and a comfy bed. The staff let us leave our bags after check out so we could go explore Sydney which was lovely. The waterfall shower head is great.

The rooms are on the small side, if you are staying for just one night it is fine. It is obviously above a pub so it is very noisy at night, so just be aware of that. From our room, you couldn't hear the DJ too much. So note the best choice for a romantic stay. The shower glass could be extended a little further as water goes everywhere.
