Love the old style pub and its history. Comfortable but showing its age, room was noise due to work being done on the block behind the building just outside our bath room window, but the bath room door was water damaged and could not be closed. Would stay again, there appears to be plans to do work on the build in 2024

Great location but the noise wasn't appreciated. Not the hotel's fault. Council decided to clean the footpaths from 6.30 pm till late and then the building next door was undergoing renovations and started pneumatic hammering at 7.00 am. Destroyed my intended restful sleep. Great staff and food was excellent value too.

This property was filthy and the aircon blew hot air into the room and was black with mold/dust. The tub was so bad I didn’t even ask them to clean the hair and bugs out as I would never use it!! Despite booking this room because it had a big bathtubs!! Do not recommend!!! Have pictures but don’t know how to post! Completely disgusting and rip off!!!

Join the party

We arrived late on a Saturday, no problem the pub was busy so found someone who came to check us in. The room was clean and nice to find somewhere with twin beds. We quickly realised they would be better off with double glazed windows as you can hear everyone outside along with the music so that first night it was gone 3am till we finally got some sleep but 0630 someone was using a vacuum or a blender and it went on for ages. The building is old and you can tell from pain peeling but it wasn’t an issue. The location was brilliant and if you are there to join in with the drinking brilliant. Overall it wasn’t a bad stay.

We were very disappointed-the difference between the room photos and the reality were quite significant - stains on the carpet, no working light in the bathroom, no grate in the shower, the bath was dirty, paint peeling off window frames, a large portable air conditioning unit that was broken (the taped together parts at the back had come apart). The saving grace was clean sheets and towels and the proximity to the rocks.

The location was excellent, we walk here with our luggage from a cruise ship, it was 4 blocks. It is close to light rail, ferries busses and the train system. good dining at the pub and close to other dining venues. Close to the Harbor bridge with good access. An elevator would be helpful, but we were assisted with getting our luggage to the third floor. I would be happy to stay there again.

The location of this Hotel is amazing. Right in The Rocks and walking distance to Circular Quay, it doesn’t get any better. The staff were friendly too. Unfortunately though it is in dire need of some TLC. I believe they will be closed for renovations in 2024 which is very much needed. The bathrooms are in poor condition, with paint peeling and mould. The showers are poor, with either no water pressure or they don't get hot at all. The rooms were basic but comfortable. Overall, you get whay you pay for and for the price and a place to sleep, it met those requirements.
