Glasgow Arms Hotel

Having arrived in Sydney early in the morning, I knew that I would have to wait until the hotel / pub opened to check in. However, seeing someone in the bar, I took a chance and knocked on the door. Tony (? - from New Zealand) was most welcoming, got me a drink, told me all about the hotel / food options etc. and offered to look after my luggage if I wanted to go out and come back later once the room was ready. The room, which was serviced daily, was basically just what I wanted - nothing fancy, but somewhere to shower & sleep. The breakfast option (bread / butter / jam / honey / coffee / tea / milk all available outside the room) was ideal for me as I had a few late nights & early mornings, so could grab what I wanted when I needed it. I would certainly be happy to stay again. Downsides? Well, apart from the guy in the next room running his shower at 3.00 a.m. and setting off the fire alarm with the steam (then locking himself out of the room, so couldn't turn the shower off!!) the only real issue was that the hotel is on a corner so there was some traffic noise. That said, I was so tired with all I was doing, that it hardly stopped me sleeping. I understand that the hotel was about to change hands and an update to some of the decorating would help, but if I do ever return to Sydney, the Glasgow Arms would be top of my list. Thanks for a great time.

Great location and property- would stay again.

reasonable price.

Het was slecht oud en vies.

It was close to many things of interest. The free maps available were really helpful.

Staff were great... its a nice pub in a convenient locale.

Great stay

Accommodation part of the hotel needs a bit of maintenance. Tap in our ensuite needed fixing, shower cubicle needs a good clean. Some of the walls need patching up as the hotel is rather dated. Otherwise our stay was okay.

Great location, but can be noisy.

Easy, friendly staff, clean premises. Would stay again...

It was convenient.

We liked the place. It is simple, but had everything we needed.

Always good thank you.

Early Check-in possible Very Friendly and helpful. Very clean Interior a little old but functional

No elevator / lift to go upstairs. Quite difficult to manoeuvre heavy luggage to rooms upstairs. The shower and Air conditioning are good.

Staff was great. Hotel was nothing fancy; older with stairs to lobby/bar and room. Easy walk to The Rocks, and both Darling Harbor and Circular Quay.

The room was clean and tidy. The property is situated at a crossroads and was noisy all the time with passing traffic. The bar is ok, staff were very friendly and helpful.

The accommodation is pretty basic and fairly run down. Very comfortable beds. The only thing we really didn't like was how dirty the room and bathroom were. There were still hairs on the floor from the previous occupants and it looked like the room never really gets a deep cleaning. The latch inside the bathroom door was broken, there was no way to turn off the noisy fan in the bathroom that was on 24/7. Other than that, it's convenient, within walkable distance from all the Darling Harbour amenities and CBD and surprisingly quiet.

Staff were excellent! Very friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay here again.

The location is great for transportation. The photos on line are very nice. The hotel is a dump. Marginal maintenance and absolutely minimum facilities. The bartenders that run the place are really helpful and friendly people.
