Great place to stay. Bathrooms shared and clean. Room clean. Staff friendly. Held our bags before checkin so we could wander. Easy checkout. There will be noise because it's above a pub. AC was great white noise. Great location as a jump spot for touristy things. Reasonable price. Expect these things and it's a 5 star experience.

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.

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 While room was outdated it was clean and all you need for a couple of nights stay.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 😊

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.

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!
