Staying at the Lord Nelson was a lovely introduction to Sydney and to Australia. Our international flight landed quite early and it was no problem to drop our luggage and go for an explore while we waited for our room. The area is very historic and a treat to walk around. There were a lot of stairs up to our third floor room, but we knew this ahead of time so we came prepared for it. Our room felt like a little retreat in the sky. We had a wonderful view from our dormer window and the inside room was light and airy. Food and drink at the Lord Nelson was wonderful. Thanks for a relaxing start to our visit to Australia.

Cute room, but I was on the top (3rd) floor and the lift was broken. Worst fish and chips I've ever had (oily and tasteless) but great location and friendly staff.
