Clean and spacious room, with everything you could need. Shared facilities were spotless throughout the stay. And despite there being a bar on the ground floor, I was never disturbed by the noise.
The room was spacious and clean. The shared bathroom was always clean. Tea & coffee in the room was nice to have. We arrived on January 1st (holiday) & the bar (where we were to check in) was closed. No clear communication how to check in on a holiday. There was a phone # on the door that we were able to contact someone & we got let in. The staff were great - very friendly.

Room was clean, staff friendly, beds comfortable. A lot of street and people noise.
Easy check-in and check-out. The staff were so friendly and helpful. I loved how many places were in walking distance. We would stay here again.

Location was brilliant. Close to train station so easy to access from airport. Pub it's above was very popular, good food/drink deals. While room was outdated it was clean and all you need for a couple of nights stay. A bit of street noise but manageable. For the price I highly recommend this place.
Great location for exploring the city. The staff were super kind, and the shared bathroom and toilet were totally fine.
The room wasn’t brand new, but it was very spacious, and since I was out most of the time, it was more than enough for a good night’s sleep. I’ll definitely come back 😊
Staff where friendly didn't get a chance to check out the dining or bar but it looked good. Rooms where clean and bed was very comfortable after a long flight. Nice location short walk to the opera house (15-20 mins) great access to public transport. Prices where good and shared bathrooms where available when needed and kept clean.
Our room was clean, the beds were comfortable and the bathrooms accessible and clean. The building construction noise across the street was not welcome at 3am but not the fault or within the control of the hotel. Attempted to have a meal for dinner but the pub was so chock a block full that we had to go elsewhere.

Happy Hour busy with good prices and choices. Room clean and comfortable. Shared bathroom really needed a good scrub with a scrubbing brush. Liked the rustic decor.
Great location. Rooms are functional and clean. Lots of noise from the street and windows noisy... So if you want a quiet night then bring your earplugs!
We were next to the elevator, and the only problem we had with that was it interfered with the tv reception when it was in use. Shower and toilet facilities were clean and the shower was like a waterfall. Would recommend and loved to stay again.
Perfect location right next to Wynyard station (trains, buses, light rail, supermarket and food hall all within a block).
Beautiful old building.
Shared bathrooms excellent (aside from the lack of mirrors). Very large showers and always kept clean. Was initially worried about the "shared" aspect, but hardly saw another person in 4 days. Never had to wait.
Room adequate. Nothing fancy, but very clean. Great view across the park to the city. Could use maybe a power point or 2.
Saturday night traffic was noisy (of course), but despite two functions downstairs and a full bar, almost no noise audible from within the building.
Had a great stay. Would stay again and definitely recommend for a short city trip.
In business for 175 years! The pub, especially outside is busy from 3:307 pm, very talkative after work crowd. Old woodwork, wi-fi was so spotty the TV was unwatchable, but had separate male and female bathrooms, shower rooms were lockable and not crowded. Not updated to modern hotel standards, but good price and the neighborhood is like NYC or Tokyo, so many people and shops, and places to eat. Any lack of the most modern amenities is made up by it’s 19th century building charm and close to town hall, the Queen Victoria Building shopping, the circular quay, so buses, trams and light rail in less than 500 feet away. Loved Sydney again!

This is an excellent location and decent price point. A very cool historic building with a ground floor pub, restaurant son the next two floors and rooms above. Feels a little time travel-y! The pub is a busy spot for lunch and happy hour, there was no noise in the room though. Everything felt clean though basic so as long as you have the right expectations you will love it. And I walked everywhere from this spot and the train station is just across the street. Staff was ok, mostly friendly. For any front desk type stuff use the bar but if it’s before or after hours they have a number. Would stay here again.
Polite staff ,great meals and very reasonable priced

The room was too small for a couple. There was not enough room to put our things about. There are no mirrors in the male bathrooms to have shave. Staff was not courteous. I requested for some milk to make tea. Wr waited for an hour and when I complained the manager was telling me off saying no need to be angry. The staff was not very helpful, but the hotel was at the right location. All the attractions were in walking distance.
