The location was excellent, within a short walk from the train station. The staff was extremely helpful, even with our late check-in. It is an old building, but the bed was super comfy, and the bathrooms were new and clean. Recommended.

Lucas Australia

Loved the location. Super quiet even though it was in such a central location. Loved the beds, such comfy pillows.

Coco Australia

Comfortable and homely. Clean and tidy. Loved the location. Old pub below was great with an awesome happy hour.

Alexander New Zealand

Helpful and agreeable staff. Interesting new location for myself in Woolloomooloo. Access to Botanic Gardens and Art Galleries, Circular Quay, Opera House. Good cafe nearby.

Terence Australia

Really friendly place to stay. Sam and his uncle were so helpful, allowing me to check in early and to leave my bags on checkout day so that I didn't have to lug them round the city. The location is great for access to the city, the harbour and the nearby botanical gardens, art museums and cafes/bars in the surrounding streets and nearby King's Corss area. The pub itself is an added bonus! A great place to just sit an chill and take in the scene.

Paul United Kingdom

We love the family room so close to the city a 10 minute walk through the park. It's always clean and tidy, staff super friendly. Great value. Our 3rd stay.

Kacy Australia

The bar and balcony. very close to breakfast and coffee shops. very cool bar, and Luke was very friendly.

Bernard South Africa

A small and friendly hotel, full of character with great staff. Sam the manager made me feel very welcome, and it was a good place to eat and drink in the evening.

Shirley United Kingdom

Can't fault a thing Manager Sam was welcomeing & friendly. All staff friendly. Room was nice and clean & bed very comfortable. Bands on Sunday night was unexpected, brilliant. Good location. If you like the older style pubs this is for you. I love it. We'll definitely be coming back
