I made the mistake of booking this hotel based on the reviews below.
Unfriendly and unwelcoming staff, a TINY cramped room and questionable housekeeping (There was a dried contact lens in my sheets, among other remnants of the previous guest) made this hotel far from charming. At a rate of $270 AU a night, you can do much better. The Medina on Crown is in the same neighborhood and last time I stayed, they changed their sheets between guests.

A cut above even the more lavish designer boutique hotels. Well appointed rooms with some real antiques. Well priced, if you shop about. Get a back room on the first floor to avoid busy Flinders St traffic noise, which is a good loaction. The continental breakfast is rare for a Sydney boutique hotel. Some parking but you need to be first in-best dressed.

The Manor House Boutique has been meticulously renovated. It has character and charm and the decor is reminiscent of a large stylish house from yesteryear. It has the feel and friendliness of a Bed and Breakfast but the spaciousness of a grand manor house.The staff are warm and courteous and meticulous in tidying your room. The beds are as big and comfortable as you could imagine and the spacious ensuites have gold taps.Parking is limited with only 4 places available. The best time to stay is on weekends where on-street parking is available.You can easily walk to Aussie Stadium, to the city centre, to Kings Cross, and to the great restaurants and cafes in Darlinghurst and Paddington.And the price is better than most at this level of quality.Highly recommended!
