Wonderful
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
This was a charming place, very friendly staff, and walking distance to Circular Quay and Darling Harbour. The charm is great - Syndey's oldest hotel and sitting atop a pub and brewery. Main regret is not having time to sample each of the beers.

Loved the history of the building, the gabled windows in our room, and the helpful staff
Fantastic, unique, clean, comfortable place to stay. Brewery, pub, restaurant on site. Walkable to many restaurants, shopping, and the ship we were boarding. Friends liked visiting us at the pub and we will highly recommend to others!
Well placed to walk The Rocks area and surrounds. Great Pre Cruise accommodation, lots of fun, unique, clean and comfortable.
Hospitality, staff and food and beverage was everything you could hope for.
