Lovely pub full of character. Lovely staff, Scarlett on the bar and another young man who both were very helpful and friendly. They play old-school groovy music and combined with their hospitality and the vintage nostalgia of the old English style pub, you feel like you're transported back in time. The sleeping areas are lovely and the bed and pillow very comfortable. A cute little kitchen area overlooking the city, and some lovely little touches including old photographs of Sydney on the walls also add to the nostalgic cozy vibe. Very clean bathrooms also. We will be back.

First of all my door did not have a lock if I knew that my door wouldn’t have a lock I would not of stayed there. And all you hear at night is the base from the bar. It did not have to be that loud.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
It was certainly basic, which is fair enough considering the price, since the room was not en suite, but it suited us. The staff were most helpful, first of all allowing us to change our room from the second to the first floor (no lift, and we're not young), then bringing us a heater. We not only had a welcome drink, but also had 15% off our meal. There was a good choice (including non-meat options) for the meal.
