Great location for exploring the city. The staff were super kind, and the shared bathroom and toilet were totally fine. The room wasn’t brand new, but it was very spacious, and since I was out most of the time, it was more than enough for a good night’s sleep. I’ll definitely come back 😊

In business for 175 years! The pub, especially outside is busy from 3:307 pm, very talkative after work crowd. Old woodwork, wi-fi was so spotty the TV was unwatchable, but had separate male and female bathrooms, shower rooms were lockable and not crowded. Not updated to modern hotel standards, but good price and the neighborhood is like NYC or Tokyo, so many people and shops, and places to eat. Any lack of the most modern amenities is made up by it’s 19th century building charm and close to town hall, the Queen Victoria Building shopping, the circular quay, so buses, trams and light rail in less than 500 feet away. Loved Sydney again!

Liked: Cleanliness
The room was too small for a couple. There was not enough room to put our things about. There are no mirrors in the male bathrooms to have shave. Staff was not courteous. I requested for some milk to make tea. Wr waited for an hour and when I complained the manager was telling me off saying no need to be angry. The staff was not very helpful, but the hotel was at the right location. All the attractions were in walking distance.

I liked how convenient it was to public transport and city center. Hotel is inside/on top of a noisy pub and place feels old and worn down. A place to sleep and clean sheets at a cheap rate.

This hotel is located in the center of Sydney downtown. It is very convenient to everywhere, and many tour attractions are in walkable distance. Its price in this CBD area is properly lowest - best value! But the hotel condition is quite old, in addition to sharing-bathrooms - you need to walk through the hall-way to bathroom from your bedroom. Also no "front desk", the AC in our room was not working, I reported to the staff in bar and we did not get the AC fixed until we checked-out 2 days late.
