Couldn’t figure how to get the vinyl going but no biggie

The lolly bar took it to the next level

The location is ideal for accessing both local coffees/food and also easy to access the tram.

Found one small cockroach but very easily dealt with; the room was definitely very well cleaned otherwise.

Got the King Abercrombie room for our wedding night and it was extremely comfortable. Staff were accomodating with early check in and left us some champagne and chocolate as well which was lovely. The bathtub was a great addition which made us choose the room in the first place. For tourists, the location would be amazing as well near Central station.

Room was elegant but badly designed, not thought through for comfort of guests.

One of our favourite hotels when we stay this end of Sydney. Always comfortable, clean and in a fab location.

Unfortunately, despite the cool decor and theming. This hotel lacks warmth and comfort. By that, the simple touches that make it welcoming, comfortable and homely. No complementary water in rooms, limited supplies (as a couple we couldn't share the same beverage). 1x towel per person. Presumably, these are cost saving strategies but it really let down the guest experience. This hotel could be made to feel immersive with a touch of luxury.

Great location. Quirky elements and antiques. Historic building with lots of charm.

Overall, the room felt quite clean, but there was still some noticeable dust, especially around the bedside cabinet.

The beds were too soft for our preference.

It was extremely noisy on Saturday night, with hen parties in the building and the street next door - the sound proofing is pretty non existent. There was a glitch with their online system so my room service order never went through and I waited almost an hour for my food.

The hotel building is beautiful and the room was lovely, really nice and clean. The bed was very comfortable. The hotel is 5minutes walk from central which makes it perfect for getting anywhere in the city.

My favorite place to stay in Sydney. Dependable comfort and luxury

The hotel’s interior design and furniture setting have made our stay like home. Its great location has saved us a lot of time. Staff were super friendly, rooms were clean. Its signature pub was sure somewhere worth showing off to our visitors.

Nothing of note

A tastefully appointed room particularly liked my desk top lamp. It was a repurposed Riley car rocker cover on an old screw jack. It met the standards for that type of hotel. Proximity to a great street packed with culinary choice.

I like to have fresh air in the room and not able to open the windows was not the best but I do understand why

Comfy beds, wonderful breakfast, excellent location

I would recommend skipping the food in the bar for any of the eateries near at hand.

The Old Clare is exceptionally well located, minutes walk from the Central Train Station with easy access to an extensive rail network. It is also next door to a street full of restaurants on the one side and a mall with restaurants/movie theater on the other. I had a spacious room, the bed was comfortable and the shower water pressure was good. The staff were friendly and efficient. It was very clean.

Great location, has a special feel and excellent staff

Mattress felt worn out. Soft and uneven. Toilet has lack of privacy being mounted right off bedroom. May not bother some. Bath comfortable but takes a very long time to fill. Towels smaller than expected. Artworks in shared spaces not labeled.

Complimentary sweets in atrium! Pleasant staff. Interesting building, and area, with industrial past Room was double storey, making it feel large and private. Excellent bathroom. Very clean. Big windows. We were lucky enough to get a room on the east side with copious morning sunlight streaming onto bed, which was really lovely. Location is excellent. Spice Alley, a pedestrian "eat street" next door on one side, shopping centre with cinema on the other. White Rabbit, an excellent contemporary Art Gallery, very close. Close to bus, light rail, train and metro.
