For the most part, the room was clean. Bathroom hot water pressure was low so it took a while for hot water to start but this was posted in plain site. Not ideal if you wanted a quick shower and it wasted a lot of water.

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!

It's excellent value for money. The rooms are comfortable and clean and Wynyard Station is a block away, meaning you can roll out of bed and jump on the train to wherever you want to go. Would definitely stay there again.
