Shower water pressure was a mere trickle... Corner room (#202) had us hear every vehicle and motorbike, which ALL had modified exhausts... So barely any sleep that night. Not the hotels fault, but the location on the corner ... ! ... And at 7.01 the next morning , council started their road works, again not hotels fault just lucky I guess. Convenience at the cost of no sleep .. As good as it seemed, wont be staying there again.

Very nice and helpful staff. Interesting place to stay as it is the oldest hotel in Sydney. Room was good size. Good location. Pub on ground floor is good. Front desk is not open during evenings or weekends. No elevator, so luggage has to be carried up and down 3 flights of stairs.

Excellent brewery and location . Rm 301 was spotless spacious thanks to Stella.No lift however staff helped tote luggage up stairs and offered luggage storage. Bar food was tasty and a lively place to relax over beers with bottles and tap. Liked accommodation overall better than Hilton.and The Rocks over Darling Harbor for food and sightseeing.!

Excellent and quaint.

Great service and enthusiasm from staff, very helpful. Rooms are big enough, clean, comfortable. Bar has several good house brews and excellent fish and chips (with malt vinegar). Walking distance to SOH, ferries, Metro. One down point - no elevator but that is because, as the oldest working pub in Sydney, it is a protected building.
