Wonderful

We loved our stay from the start. The staff we lovely and very helpful, so nice to walk in to a big smile. The accommodation is basic pub accommodation with ensuite. It's clean, comfortable, warm, safe, quiet and beautiful. Don't bother booking here if you don't want to walk up stairs as there is no elevator, nor should there be. It's 183 years old!!! Just appreciate the history!
Loved the pub downstairs. Staff friendly and accommodating. However, room tired, no water pressure in shower, room cold not able to adjust temperatures. Windows rattled. A lot of road noise affecting sleep. Bed not very comfortable.
The hotel left a bit to be desired. I could see how it might be been quite nice at one stage but it's in need of some maintenance and upkeep. Staff were all friendly and helpful. And the dark ale from the pub was probably the best I've ever had. Truly exceptional beer!

Nice pub feel, friendly staff.
However it was very loud and we struggled to sleep.
It was ok for an overnight stay, as we wanted to stay in the city for the night.
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.
This is a lovely historical pub and hotel.Very convenient to Sydney’s main sites.The beer is terrific .
Room we stayed in needs a bit of attention and the shower needs replacing.A bit of road noise early in the morning.
