We had a fantastic stay and would highly recommend this hotel. The location was excellent, making it easy to explore Sydney and access everything we needed. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay. We arrived earlier than expected, and the receptionist kindly arranged for our room to be serviced as a priority so we could check in as soon as possible, which was greatly appreciated. The restaurant downstairs was also excellent, with great food and a fabulous breakfast to start the day. Overall, the service, facilities, and location exceeded our expectations. We will definitely stay here again the next time we're in Sydney.

The hotel is set in an old pub/hotel building with lots of beautiful character and charm. The room was a decent size and lovely and cozy. Even with a lot of noise from crowds and the pub downstairs, the addition of noise cancelling Perspex on the windows, you could barely hear it. The shared bathrooms were always clean and maintained. Breakfast downstairs at the Fortune of War was amazing. All staff at the hotel and pub/restaurant were helpful and friendly. Would definitely stay here again
