Loved the location. With no lift it was hard for us to go up and down the stairs. It is a older building so don't expect all new stuff. The beer was wonderfull in the bar. I would stay again just would stay on floor 1.

Very nice and helpful staff. Interesting place to stay as it is the oldest hotel in Sydney. Room was good size. Good location. Pub on ground floor is good. Front desk is not open during evenings or weekends. No elevator, so luggage has to be carried up and down 3 flights of stairs.

We liked staying there and the bar was fun. Our shower didnt provide anything more than a trickle and my bedside light did its own thing, turning on and-off at will.

Excellent brewery and location . Rm 301 was spotless spacious thanks to Stella.No lift however staff helped tote luggage up stairs and offered luggage storage. Bar food was tasty and a lively place to relax over beers with bottles and tap. Liked accommodation overall better than Hilton.and The Rocks over Darling Harbor for food and sightseeing.!

Excellent and quaint.

Great service and enthusiasm from staff, very helpful. Rooms are big enough, clean, comfortable. Bar has several good house brews and excellent fish and chips (with malt vinegar). Walking distance to SOH, ferries, Metro. One down point - no elevator but that is because, as the oldest working pub in Sydney, it is a protected building.
