Older pub with hotel on top. Lots of character. Good location. The room was clean. It was noisy, as you can hear everything in the hall and adjoining rooms. The bathroom down the hall, including showers, needed some love and attention. Overall fine for the price paid.

This is my go to hotel when I am on a short stay in Sydney. It is cheap, has no pretentions and is on the direct train line to the airport. Sure the facilities are shared but no big deal for me . They are spotless and shampoo, body wash and conditioner are supplied. If food is required the bar has a kitchen and there are convenience stores just around the corner. I will be back in October and have already booked

This is in a good location in Sydney and a very cheap price, note the bathrooms are shared which was ok for me. Good for those who want a roof over their heads and nothing more. I would stay here again, the pub downstairs has a good happy hour and dinner specials every night

It was the best price I could find for the area. It is an old hotel pub combined, on the Saturday I was there the music was awful till 12 pm sharp. The walls are thin and traffic noise intruded all night. Bed was comfortable and clean the room was large and had good fridge, kettle, microwave, toaster tea and coffee, milks in fridge. The shower and toilets were shared and easily lockable and private. It was clean and for its age pretty good. 5 mins walk to Barangaroo boardwalk, 5 mins walk to George St, 2 mins walk to Wynyard Station. So, swings and roundabouts.

Great location and a very charming building and pub. Staff were friendly and professional, also we were able to store our bags after check out so we could get out & about before heading to the airport. Good value for money. If I stay again I would just bring some ear plugs as the street can be quite noisy throughout the night (not from patrons but vehicles etc).

The hotel doesn’t really have a reception so be aware when checking in. We had to go to the bar to find someone which is slightly unusual. Even though it is above a bar it was quiet and did have a lift. There was also luggage storage which was great.

Central location. Good value. Staff were helpful. Main downside is the street noise. This is an old building with poorly sealed single glazed windows in a busy area day and night. If you can live with that then i would recommend.

Old property that isn't well maintained- the windows in my room were broken and on the street side right by the bed so it was impossible to get good sleep. The shared amenities weren't as clean as i wouldn't hoped for. Additionally with the place being located on top of a bar and the lack of a proper reception made for an interesting experience- as well as this being very loud. However, the only redeemable quality we experienced in our time were the incredible staff, they were very polite and were helpful in holding our luggage for us. It is also in a very ideal location which is why i had higher expectations.
