The Lord Nelson is a historic hotel bar and brewery. The rooms above are basic but charming. Ours had a great view of the Sydney's city lights while removed. The bathroom was a nice surprise. Expected a more out of date bath but is was clean modern and adequate in size. The staff was welcoming as you come and go through the bar.

We left room to go get dinner. When we got back, door would not open all the way so that we could not enter again. They worked on it for over an hour while we waited downstairs in the bar. They did comp our two drinks while waiting. After over an hour, they came back and said they got the door open enough for us to get in but suggested we move to another room since door was not actually fixed. The room they moved us to had a working door but was smaller. New room was also outdated with window treatments that stated "do not touch- under repair" with a loose nail on carpet. Honestly, the people are very nice but the rooms are outdated and under need of repair. Not sure what regulations are in Australia, but first room especially was a fire hazard.

Comfortable clean room, quiet despite being above a pub. Excellent location. There is no lift just stairs (to the 3 floor in my case)... but this was not an issue for us.

Room was clean and well appointed. Staff was excellent and attentive. There is no lift in the building so be prepared to take your luggage up and down stairs. The skylight in the room was a great addition for natural lighting. We were on the third floor and could not hear any noise from the pub on the ground floor. Overall an enjoyable experience and the bed was comfortable. Would definitely recommend.

Great location and staff lovely. Room a good size. Great hot water shower. Pub food and beer is good. Naturally we expected noise from the pub but the local environment was very noisy for quite a lot of the night with glass bins being emptied at 1am-4am and lots of car noise too. Not the fault of the staff but worth knowing if you are light sleeper. Also we were on the top floor up several flights of stairs which could put some people off.

Great place to stay before a cruise. It's a bit of a schlep from Barangaroo - would recommend walking from Circular Quay instead. Cosy, clean and comfortable with easy check in and safe for kids.

This was a perfect venue for us. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel is in great location in one of the older parts of Sydney. Pub brewed beer also very good and the room was lovely, not like a modern chain, but a nice nod to the style of the time it was built with all amenities including a very efficient AC system.

It was great to stay at the oldest pub and the beer and cider was good. Only negative was there was no access for those with mobility issues for the accommodation part of the hotel. I would stay here again though ask for a room not on the top floor.
