Practical details
Why it's worth checking out
The Mercantile Hotel sits on George Street in The Rocks, Sydney's historic harbourside precinct beneath the Harbour Bridge. With 20 reviews behind its 3.4 rating, it's a well-regarded base.

Its location keeps you close to the action.
Room rates, availability and facilities change with the season and demand, and Sydney gets busy around major events. Confirm current rates and what your stay includes directly with the hotel before booking.
