Staff were very helpful in this venerable inner-city hotel, perched on the hill above Darling Harbour with a view of the city skyline on the other side, in a quiet one-way street that opened onto little Ada Place. If you want an ensuite bathroom, book the Family suite--otherwise you're sharing bathrooms and guest kitchen. I walked straight across Darling Harbour from there so you're in the centre (George Street) in 20 mins or so. I didn't dine at the Wolseley--plenty of cafes on your way into town. Very friendly help from staff, rooms pleasant and extra clean. I felt welcome. I'm in my late seventies so a smile and flexibility both count when I stay away from home!

Girl that checked us in was polite and welcoming. Girl behind the bar later in the night was very rude. Room was tidy and comfortable. No A/C. Communal kitchen area was untidy.

Lovely pub full of character. Lovely staff, Scarlett on the bar and another young man who both were very helpful and friendly. They play old-school groovy music and combined with their hospitality and the vintage nostalgia of the old English style pub, you feel like you're transported back in time. The sleeping areas are lovely and the bed and pillow very comfortable. A cute little kitchen area overlooking the city, and some lovely little touches including old photographs of Sydney on the walls also add to the nostalgic cozy vibe. Very clean bathrooms also. We will be back.

Unfortunately I had trouble ever getting contact with management. I didn’t receive replies when messaging and the number on their door went unanswered and mailbox full. Deb the cleaner was great and got me set up when I arrived. Unfortunately each time speaking with Mags it seemed like I was bothering her. I wouldn’t call this a hotel either but a hostile. If they were short staffed a print out left in room would have been helpful about the place amenities.

First of all my door did not have a lock if I knew that my door wouldn’t have a lock I would not of stayed there. And all you hear at night is the base from the bar. It did not have to be that loud.

Lovely stay!

Had a great experience from start to finish, check in was easy and we were given a free drink voucher on arrival by really friendly staff and the key to the room allowed us to come and go through a separate door after hours. The shared bathrooms were nice and clean and there was towels and shampo available. The beds were not the comfiest, but they were definitely fine, but the great price and great location as well as 15% of all food and drinks at the downstairs pub and restaurant more than makes up for that. I would definitely recommend this place for people with a lower budget that are still looking for a great accommodation that's close to the city.
