One of our favourite places to stay in Sydney. Great vibe and very easy walk to hot spots. Only downside is they don’t have the free breakfast anymore.

The Lord Nelson is both a charming and original place to stay. Because it is right smack in the center of old Sydney but also situated in a calmer corner, it gives easy access to eating venues of all kinds, closeby central public transport and an excellent location to start exploring Sydney from.

This was a charming place, very friendly staff, and walking distance to Circular Quay and Darling Harbour. The charm is great - Syndey's oldest hotel and sitting atop a pub and brewery. Main regret is not having time to sample each of the beers.

We loved our stay from the start. The staff we lovely and very helpful, so nice to walk in to a big smile. The accommodation is basic pub accommodation with ensuite. It's clean, comfortable, warm, safe, quiet and beautiful. Don't bother booking here if you don't want to walk up stairs as there is no elevator, nor should there be. It's 183 years old!!! Just appreciate the history!

Loved the pub downstairs. Staff friendly and accommodating. However, room tired, no water pressure in shower, room cold not able to adjust temperatures. Windows rattled. A lot of road noise affecting sleep. Bed not very comfortable.
