What a gem! Beautiful, old fashioned and charming - a break from the normal sleek, ultra-modern hotels. Front desk staff were lovely and we appreciated having breakfast in the room due to an early departure

The Beacon Inn continues to be our favourite place to stay whenever we visit Sidney & Victoria. It is beautifully decorated with antiques and tasteful Victorian decor. It’s on a quiet street that is close to the main Beacon Ave & the ocean walkway. The light breakfast that is provided in one’s room may also be supplemented by other treats in the lounge. The main level sitting & tea areas are also a bonus & the late afternoon complimentary sherry is a nice treat. The staff have limited hours & are always friendly and helpful. It’s also nice to have the keypad front door lock to come & go at any time.

Beacon Inn is very conveniently located within walking distance of downtown Sydney and the wharf. The building is attractive and has character. Room included a fireplace, 4-poster bed and oversized tub. Only suggestion is that the breakfast included be served in the very nice downstairs sitting room rather than in room. Adding a European style coffee machine would be amazing too.

Beautiful small boutique hotel in the heart of the city. Room was large with a comfortable bed, attached bathroom and fireplace. Breakfast was put in a small fridge in my room for the next morning. I found the front desk situation odd though. No one at the desk before 10 am or after 8 pm. Tried calling at 9:30 am to ask how to check out but no one answered. Guests are responsible for making sure the front door was locked when desk person not there, slightly discomforting.

Don't forget your shampoo LOL

The Beacon is a very nice place to stay and the location is perfect. The only "issues not issues" we had was that the mattress was getting worn drooping in the middle and it was filled with extra bedding on the top to compensate for the dip in the center and unfortunately making the bed high centered and I fell out of the bed twice. The shampoo was watered down, half filled and a bit old I say due to the smell and there is no bar soap. I know what everyone is thinking. Who doesn't bring their own grooming product and you're right but this is one time I forgot thought I could use Beacons. The only other concern we had was the poor lighting at night in the parking area. There simply isn't any. I don't think I would feel safe if I wasn't with my husband.
