Staying at the Lord Nelson Brewery was perfect. It was unique and comfortable. The location was conveniently located with a short walk to the Sydney Harbour and The Rocks area. When booking keep in mind the rooms are above a brewery and bar so it may be noisy but it was worth hearing the noise below! You won't be disappointed.

A stay with a small look back into history. The hotel is very popular with an energetic after work crowd. The rooms were nicely incorporated into the well preserved building and all facilities worked well. Parking is available in the streets surrounding the hotel and paid parking is nearby. Great location if you are headed to the the nearby theatres l.

The room was large and beautifuly furnished with alcove seating recessed into thick sandstone walls. Very atmospheric of early colonial days. The only negative was when our next door neighbour had a 6am shower and we were woken by the loud shrieking noise of the plumbing system.

Located in a convenient and fairly quiet part of Sydney with good walks close by. Water views possible from our room and the room itself was spacious and comfortable.. You do need to climb stairs to the accommodation, and we were on the top floor. But there was always someone available to carry bags. Staff were lovely - friendly and helpful. Food and beverages were excellent. We very much enjoyed our 2 night stay.

Unique experience in Sydney's oldest hotel

The Lord Nelson Brewery Hotel and Pub is a lovely place to stay in Sydney. The rooms are spacious and comfortable and the staff is quite friendly. The Pub is, apparently, a local gathering spot as well. The Sydney Opera House, the Circular Quay, and the Harbour Bridge are within walking distance. Circular Quay, as you might know, is the main ferry dock and ferries to all parts of Sydney Harbour and local beaches dock there.

Shower water pressure was a mere trickle... Corner room (#202) had us hear every vehicle and motorbike, which ALL had modified exhausts... So barely any sleep that night. Not the hotels fault, but the location on the corner ... ! ... And at 7.01 the next morning , council started their road works, again not hotels fault just lucky I guess. Convenience at the cost of no sleep .. As good as it seemed, wont be staying there again.
