The Occidental Hotel

Older pub with hotel on top. Lots of character. Good location. The room was clean. It was noisy, as you can hear everything in the hall and adjoining rooms. The bathroom down the hall, including showers, needed some love and attention. Overall fine for the price paid.

Safety, peace and quite clean

Close to everything transport darling hourbour very nice hotel

This is the second time we’ve stayed at the Occidental hotel. The first time, the room was small but decent and we had a good stay. This time we were placed in a larger room at the front of the hotel. The shower had no hot water, there was one spare power point to charge all our phones, the windows didn’t close which meant night time happenings outside felt like they were right in our room. No sleep due to car horns, aggressive yelling and police sirens. Unfortunately this will be the last time we stay. If we were guaranteed a room away from the front of the hotel we would consider it due to the convenience to Wynyard station as we couldn’t fault our first stay

Lovely hotel to stay in. Was quite lively downstairs but we heard nothing from our room. We took our two teens and honestly no dramas staying above the pub with them. Had a few drinks in the bar and the staff were lovely. Wish we hadn’t had so much planned as the bistro and restaurant menus looked lovely. We picked an ensuite room which was best for us but honestly the shared bathrooms we had a look at and they were absolutely fine too so didn’t even need the ensuite. Hope to visit again soon, thanks all for a lovely, hassle-free stay!

Room was clean with all amenities. Staff went out of their way to help. Accommodation was close to ship port.

Beds were ok. No teaspoons provided at tea and coffee station, no milk for tea and coffee, 1 water glass for a booking of 3, clean towels provided with black grease on them, rats living in the wall behind bed head.

So... location was great... and price was good.... BUT.... So when we got there , the bar downstairs was on completely packed... crazy packed.... And honestly , it was that way every afternoon.... So it was a little difficult to get checked in , get access to the room. And on\nCe , we got to the room , the very first thing we saw were bugs... We decided to stay and that night.It was very noisy. Outside street noise. And we found that One of the mattresses on the beds was just springs... Very uncomfortable. The bathrooms are shared space, so a little gross... Hand overall the property was just very worn... It was so bad that we left after the first night , just checked out and left and Ten thousand somewhere else to stay for the second night. If you're traveling on a budget at aren't too worried about clean and quiet, The location is great.

We stay there all the time

Location Great! Shared Bathroom not so great, nowhere to hang wet towels in the room

Comfortable, clean refurbished room, pleasant. Excellent location near Wynyard Station. Will book again

Excellent location. Check-in easy. Room very basic but tea/coffee, fridge and microwave good inclusions. Share bathroom was a nice surprise: modern and completely private room. Noise from Level 2 function centre a problem for guests on Level 3. Hot water in rooms and showers took forever to reach the taps. A basic budget older style hotel room that has had a makeover. Good for singles. Suggest couples would be best in a room next level up from double. Some rooms were larger with double and one single bed - worth the extra dollars for more space.

Room was clean and comfortable. Bistro was very good.

It was the best price I could find for the area. It is an old hotel pub combined, on the Saturday I was there the music was awful till 12 pm sharp. The walls are thin and traffic noise intruded all night. Bed was comfortable and clean the room was large and had good fridge, kettle, microwave, toaster tea and coffee, milks in fridge. The shower and toilets were shared and easily lockable and private. It was clean and for its age pretty good. 5 mins walk to Barangaroo boardwalk, 5 mins walk to George St, 2 mins walk to Wynyard Station. So, swings and roundabouts.

Very good central location, close to everything Big fridge, nice beds Could be a bit noisy on Saturday night Hot water system needs some work Good stay for short trip

The location is brilliant and the room we stayed in was very comfortable and clean. Staff were very helpful despite being very busy.

Nice accommodations. Helpful staffl

This is a central hotel in Sydney’s CBD situated vice a pub and close to Wynyard Station.

This is my go to hotel when I am on a short stay in Sydney. It is cheap, has no pretentions and is on the direct train line to the airport. Sure the facilities are shared but no big deal for me . They are spotless and shampoo, body wash and conditioner are supplied. If food is required the bar has a kitchen and there are convenience stores just around the corner. I will be back in October and have already booked

Old property that isn't well maintained- the windows in my room were broken and on the street side right by the bed so it was impossible to get good sleep. The shared amenities weren't as clean as i wouldn't hoped for. Additionally with the place being located on top of a bar and the lack of a proper reception made for an interesting experience- as well as this being very loud. However, the only redeemable quality we experienced in our time were the incredible staff, they were very polite and were helpful in holding our luggage for us. It is also in a very ideal location which is why i had higher expectations.
