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.

Central location. Good value. Staff were helpful. Main downside is the street noise. This is an old building with poorly sealed single glazed windows in a busy area day and night. If you can live with that then i would recommend.

The hotel doesn’t really have a reception so be aware when checking in. We had to go to the bar to find someone which is slightly unusual. Even though it is above a bar it was quiet and did have a lift. There was also luggage storage which was great.

I knew, I had a shared bathroom but I figured I would at least be provided a robe to go to and from the shower. I received1I towel to use for multiple days so I couldn’t even put in on the ground to put clothes on in the shower area. The toilet area was separate from the shower area and also had a sink. Sometimes it had paper towels. So you had to go to the shower area after using the toilet or back to the sink in your room to wash your hands with no soap or paper towels or tissues. There was some type of cleaning product with a scrubby thing on the sink to clean it. The fire escape door on the 3rd and 4th door were both blocked by large red bags of linens. I’m not sure if they were clean or dirty but at least 6 or 7 bags. Two windows were left open on the 4th floor, day and night, with a large enough opening for any rodent and other small animal. No one was there at night and when the bar was closed. We had two women wanting to come in told us they lived there but had no key. When we checked in we gave them our name and they gave us our key no explanation about when they weren’t there where to drop our keys. They also didn’t ask for any ID which I have ever seen in anywhere in the world I have stayed.

This is in a good location in Sydney and a very cheap price, note the bathrooms are shared which was ok for me. Good for those who want a roof over their heads and nothing more. I would stay here again, the pub downstairs has a good happy hour and dinner specials every night

Great location and a very charming building and pub. Staff were friendly and professional, also we were able to store our bags after check out so we could get out & about before heading to the airport. Good value for money. If I stay again I would just bring some ear plugs as the street can be quite noisy throughout the night (not from patrons but vehicles etc).

So noisy - it’s as if the walls were made from paper. I could hear everything going on in the rooms either side of me. Even when the kettle was switched on I heard it. Could hear the people in the next rooms breathing and that wasn’t even snoring. It was like they were in the same room

The check in is within a pub setting. It was very noisy downstairs and quite off putting to a single parent with child. The room itself was older style and somewhat sufficient for a one night stay. TH and air con worked. Weird set up with shared bathrooms and showers outside but sink inside room. No soundproofing at all so the noise from the city starts at 6 am. Blinds that don’t keep light out. Bed was clean but only 3 pillows. A sufficient but not enjoyable stay
