Pay some extra money and stay somewhere else if you don’t want to breathe in cigarette smoke or if you want some sleep. The room windows all opened out onto the smoking deck - what a treat- especially when traveling with kids- love a good ciggy for the family floating in through the louvre windows that you can’t close. On friday night we were then ‘treated’ to the piano man - live music until 1 am which felt like it was under the floor. Seriously, why rent the rooms out as accommodation when there is no chance for anyone to breathe air or get sleep?

Great place to hang out
This hotel is a fun place to hangout with convenient access to local transportation, bronte beach, restaurants, and a convenience store. I didn't expect a late night piano man to be performing (I was trying to sleep early and wake up early to see the sun rise) but I enjoyed his performance! The rooms are not far from the restaurant/bar area and outdoor seating area so if people are being noisy you will likely hear them from your room.

Great atmosphere but leaving the windows open in the heat let the sirens and motorbike noise in. Also too light - curtains could be more block out. The mattress had been put on the bed upside down so the wires were just under the fabric.

Greet staff and very nice atmosphere. Expected it to be fairly noisy as at a busy intersection and rooms are over a popular pub. Food at pub was great. Only negative was lack of a desk or table in the room.

Handy to my function but no attention paid to guest facility, dirty linen in bathroom, generally unclean. Suggest the landlord concentrates on running the nice bar on ground floor, close the accomodation!!

Not a place to stay.
I checked in late on a Saturday night in July, so quite cold. My room had no heating, no working TV, no electric blanket and the bathroom was dirty. The bed was OK and seemed freshly made, but no electric blanket and the doona was lightweight so I was not warm. The music in the bar didn't stop until after midnight. I expected some noise being a pub hotel, but the noise level was pretty high. I was very glad to checkout in the morning.

Noise yes, windows vibrated with traffic noise but ear plugs helped. Curtains let sunrise morning light in, no block out at all, no way could sleep in. Balcony had used cigarette butts and was very unclean. Shower mouldy, towel rain broken, hot water on one night, cold another tepid another. Room smelled. minimal housekeeping equated to no housekeeping over four nights, bin full, no restocking of tea/coffee/milk. Fridge was good. Sheets clean, blankets/doona stained or dirty. Liked the old feel.

Good location - old hotel and maintenance issues
We were worried about staying due to reviews, but it was clean and in good location. Staff were very friendly, pub was good and we had a great walk to centennial park. Overall it was a fine place to stay, old and needs work, but clean which is fine. It was also a lot cheaper than anything else around, so I guess you get what you pay for.

Disappointing and noisy
The room was very small with only a double bed and one chair. Basic facilities only and the old sash window was broken. Traffic noise was huge but fortunately didnt start until 5.am. No chance for a sleep in at all. The price of drinks at the bar are over the top.

Mixed opinion
I must say, I was expecting a little bit more with this hotel. The pictures looked amazing, but in reality, the hotel was a bit run down. The ceiling of my bathroom was in a bad condition, the paint was falling off and it didn’t look welcoming at all. Also, the soap holder in the shower looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in what looked like months, there was dried up soap on there and looked like mould was growing too - it was disgusting. Apart from this, it was close to Westfield which was good, I could easily walk there so this was an advantage, it was also a 45 minute walk to Bondi - which I didn’t mind at all. There was a convenient bar downstairs so this was also handy - for travellers who don’t like noise though, you probably don’t want to stay here as it does get noisy on the weekends! I also found that there was no parking at this hotel which was a little inconvenient, although I took a cab, it didn’t bother me, but I can see how this could be a hassle for others. There is also no reception as such, the reception area was practically the bar.

Pay cheap, get cheap.
This place wasn't set up for accommodation. It was rooms above a pub. No breakfast offered. Room had no proper curtains so it October it bright as daylight by 6am. It was on the corner of a 6 way intersection and all the rooms face the intersection, with no double glazing and old windows, it was noisy as. There were no tables, no night table, no night lamp, painted old flooring maybe from 30's. Even the hotel dining room downstairs was crap. We went downstairs for some dinner one night at 8 pm and was told they are not taking anymore food orders and the kitchen was overwhelmed. It was advertised as free parking available nearby. What this really means is that you have scour around the nearby residential streets and read the parking restrictions carefully. Mostly, you have to move you car by 9am in the morning. Very difficult to find a spot when you arrive home arrive at night after dinner.

Slecht!
Was een teleurstellend verblijf. Herkende niets van de foto's. Bed had een grote kuil in het midden, waardoor je vanaf de zijkant naar het midden rolde. Het stonk in de kamer. Lakens waren vies en vanaf het moment dat ik in bed lag, kreeg ik jeuk. Ik ben uiteindelijk op een eigen sarong gaan liggen met een eigen strandlaken over me heen. Echter, de volgende ochtend had ik toch overal bultjes. Bah! Verder is de lokatie niet top aan een hoek waar vijf drukke verkeersstraten samenkomen. En boven de pub qua geluidsoverlast, al was ik er op een doordeweekse avond en was het stil na 0.00 uur. Badkamer was, hoewel in oude staat, wel schoon. Dus dat was fijn. Ik zou er echter nooit meer overnachten! Zeker niet voor het geld dat ik er voor heb moeten betalen.

Zona comoda per spiaggia e centro città. Stanza minimale, ma funzionale Un pò rumoroso perchè le stanze sono al piano superiore di un Pub molto affollato.
