Guest Reviews

• JAE WOO (10/5): Traditional hotel style but, clean and cozy. Will definitely stay again! - Staff were very friendly and helpful willingly, the room and facilities are clean. Cozy and comfy stay. It is a bit noisy at night(Not too much to sleep though) but, I was aware of GF is pub when I booked it so it was no issue for me.
• Dale (8/5): -
• Callum (10/5): -
• JAE WOO (10/5): -
• Heather (10/5): Great room for a long weekend. Lovely staff, super clean and comfortable. - Location is amazing and was super clean. Nothing!
• Brad Janner (8/5): -
• Simon (8/5): - Excellent location - nice pub All good
• Paige (8/5): - Perfect location, access to full shower + washing machine. Super comfy & has so much charm. Could improve a bit on cleanliness
• RD (10/5): Perfect for my daughter and I visiting Australia! I would highly recommend this accommodation! - Within walking distance of train station and all major tourist attractions in the city. Clean and comfortable rooms- bed was excellent. I appreciated the small fridge in the room and coffee/tea availability in foyer outside rooms.
• MARK (9/5): Authentic and Real hotel, superb location and super staff. - Location was superb, nice quiet street and close to bus and rail links. No complaints at all.
• Gweneth (10/5): -
• Fiona (9/5): - Friendly and helpful staff; quiet and historic hotel. I appreciate being able to open the window in the bedroom.
• Bonnie (8/5): - Loved the location and price The food was terrible We got a vegetarian pizza..... not good.
• Eric (9/5): Comfortable and welcoming. - It was close to the CBD and to nearby cafes and shops. It was also very convenient to get something to eat downstairs from the kitchen bar. I felt comfortable in the property but I noticed a faded brown stain on my small towel in my room that irked me. Other than that, I enjoyed my stay.
• Vaughan (9/5): - As an often returning visitor it always meets my expectations and l am known by some staff and the owner. Can't stop the odd wacko loving their car horn a little too much out on Crown St. A small price to pay.
• Laurent (10/5): Excellent - Super accueil, emplacement top, bonne literie. Les super + : possibilité de prendre une douche en arrivant, même si la chambre n'est pas prête + café, eau en libre service Vraiment top ! Rien
• Leo (10/5): Good value Quality/Price -
• Mike (10/5): - Great old building with nice little rooms to stay upstairs No rooms with bathrooms.
• Viktorie (10/5): Doporučuju! - Útulný hotel v blízkosti centra Šváb v koupelně
• Kim (7/5): - 혼자 조용히 지낼수있었던건 좋았는데 라디에이터 없는 방을 줘서 추웠다. 다른방은 라디에이터도 있고 좀 넓던데 기분이 안좋았다
• Tom (10/5): -
• Deb (8/5): Perfect for what we needed -
• Hayley (8/5): Cheap and convenient - Friendly staff, great location and a comfy masttress Nothing! Pretty good room
• Laurence (8/5): - Relaxed atmosphere, friendly helpful staff, historic building
• Phil (9/5): -
• Lianne (10/5): I love this place, we walk everywhere for days when we stay and enjoy a comfortable bed and great atmosphere in the even - We return each year, Sam has maintained a beautiful little gem, minutes from domain, oxford street, Hyde park and circular quay. Always has a bit of night life but settles down given located in leafy suburb of Woolloomooloo. Love this place and great value for money. Has its own bistro with great food. Literally nothing, you share a bathroom on each floor, but kept super clean. It’s an old pub with lots of character, if your after room service and daily bed turn this is not for you - but we don’t, so perfect for us, really depends on your taste
• Zhamilya (10/5): -
• Ian (7/5): Convenirent and reasonaly priced little hotel. - A very good coffee shop only 100 yards away in Cathedral Street.
• Xuan (9/5): Excellent place that I'd recommend to people who do not mind a hotel without lift. - The hotel is close to everything, especially many Sydney attractions in walkable distances. Also the price was good. The hotel did not have in suite bathrooms, but actually bathrooms on the hallway worked well, perhaps better since there were 3. Not much. A small thing was that when we arrived after exiting from a cruise ship which was quite earlier than our check in time. We did not want to check in, but hoped to be able to leave our luggage before a day trip. When we arrived there, the place was closed which caused a bit worry. But it resolved after a little while when a guest stayed there helped us and a staff member showed up soon. We also appreciated the staff took our stored luggage to our room later since there was no lift. We took the luggage down ourselves when we left. People might need to keep that in mind that there was no lift. It was not a problem for us. Though it might be a concern for some.
• Carin (10/5): Charmantes Hotel zentral gelegen - Altes und gemütlich eingerichtetes Hotel mit sehr viel Charme. Zentral gelegen nicht weit von einem Park. Sehr nettes Personal. Im unteren Stockwerk findet in der Bar kleine Konzerte statt. Nichts.
• Clive (8/5): -
• Julian (8/5): Aanrader voor kort verblijf! - Op wandelafstand van Opera House en Botanic Gardens, maar ook een winkelcentrum met veel kledingwinkels. Veel leuke cafés op loopafstand ook! Bijna het benoemen niet waard, maar de bedden waren niet zo comfortabel als je van een hotel zou wensen, echter absoluut niet slecht. Nog steeds goed geslapen!
• Laurie (7/5): -
• Laurie (7/5): -
• Min (10/5): Highly recommend. Very well maintained, lovely staff, amazing value and location. -
• Josiah (8/5): Super friendly staff who went above and beyond for us. Bar tender Jos was an absolute legend! - The location was perfect for a stay. Super central and not a far walk to trams or trains. Facilities are outdated, but expected for the age of establishment. This was also stated to us before stay so we were not disappointed by any means.
• Jakub (10/5): -
• David (8/5): - Its a charming establishment in a great location and it is exactly what it says it is: An old country pub. Its not fancy or luxurious, but it is utterly authentic. The staff are lovely, helpful and kind. Good value for money and would definitely stay again.
• HUNG-YU (8/5): 房間邊邊角角有點灰塵，但還算蠻舒適的，沒有冷氣和電梯，如果住二樓可以聽到外面街上的聲音，但兩側房間隔音很好，廁所雖然是共用，但有乾濕分離而且維持的蠻乾淨，cp值高 -
• Jolie (10/5): -
• Kyra (5/5): Accommodation needs TLC/Deep clean but nice pub in an excellent location - Good location, really friendly staff with a solid pub area downstairs and nice to have good coffee in the central area. The bed was comfy too but that’s about it… Our room was just too hot. A small double room like this needs A/C or at the very least full size bug nets on each window to allow you to cool the room at night. It was also extremely dusty on top of furniture, TV and fan. A fellow guest decided kill a giant cockroach in one of the shared bathrooms and just leave it overnight. The drawers have several live small cockroaches and some that have died. I think for the price you would expect better. Obviously we cannot speak for all the rooms.
• Pedro.fst (8/5): - Location, clean, friendly staff You better plan your nights away at the end of the week/weekend, the bar under runs late and you can hear them. Lack of AC means that the windows need to be open
• Wendy (8/5): -
• Ruud (9/5): Great stay at a local pub - Cozy room and very clean/modern amenities.
• Miguel (8/5): Cozy, unique and classic - We had lovely experience with the staff who were on that assisted us with the check in and check out process. Sam, the manager also sent emails to ensure we understood the accomodation we were staying at. Although the accomodation is above a pub - we barely had any disturbances to our accomodation past 10:00pm. Loved the old victorian-esque decor of the room and building as well. The pub was also a short walk away from the Botanic Gardens, Sydney CBD and the train station. We booked during a humid and hot period in Sydney - we had a strong fan in the room which helped with ventilation and air flow. Would have loved an air conditioner but understand that would raise cost and other prices.
• Evelyn (10/5): -
• Marpessa (8/5): -
• Jennifer (9/5): - Friendly, helpful staff. Lovely clean bathrooms. The room was very warm and only a small noisy fan to help cool it down.
• Yuya (9/5): -
• David (8/5): Lovely stay - It was a lovely bar and the food was lovely
• Janine (10/5): -
• Michael (8/5): - Good hotel for price, nice and central Bed could be a little softer
• Natália (10/5): Great stay in Sydney - Great location, hotel connected to pub downstairs, it was really nice to have a pint there. Staff was really friendly and helpful.
• Takuma (4/5): -
• Arpilleda (8/5): The location is within walking distance of many places to visit and is situated in a quiet neighborhood. Abby, the recep - All the places I wanted to visit were nearby. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful, with very few people around—exactly the kind of atmosphere I was looking for. The rooms are not soundproof. You can hear conversations from the neighboring rooms and even from people outside. The doors also close very loudly—to the point that the windows in the room vibrate when a nearby door is shut.
• Valentina (10/5): Lovely place to stay - The shared bathrooms and the room were pristine clean. The bed was extremely comfortable and the linen and towels provided were top quality. The staff was super helpful and provided useful advice. I would definitely stay here again!
• Ralf (8/5): Excellent location and good value for money - This hotel saved me from the crazy accommodation prices in Sydney. Everything is as advertised. The communal bathrooms were clean and inviting, the room was comfortable, there is a supermarket less than five minutes' walk away where you can buy sandwiches etc. for breakfast, and you have a small fridge in the room to store the sandwiches and a coffee/tea station in the hallway. The location is amazing. If you're a walker, the entire city centre, including Circular Quay, is within walking distance. Public transport is close by. I'd stay here again. --
• Michelle (10/5): Friends trip - Location, facilities and staff The pillows
• Marie (8/5): Très agréable, je recommande. - L’équipe est très accueillante et s’adapte facilement. Le lieu est bien placé. L’établissement est vieux mais les salles de bains et toilettes sont propres et refait à neuf. La chambre est cosy. Ventilateur et mini frigo à dispo. Tout est bien entretenu. Les volets ne se fermaient pas très bien et les fenêtres pas très bien isolées au niveau du bruit.
• Oleg (7/5): - Location, hostorical Building Very hot in the room
• Rachel (8/5): - It was a lovely building. We were well situated to visit the harbour, various parks and enjoyed walking around that area of Sydney
• Florent (9/5): -
• Krstan (8/5): Excellent stay! Highly recommend. - Many things. The cozy feel of the building, friendly staff and convenient location. On a hot day, our room got a little warm. But we could open the windows.
• Barbara (8/5): - Location Hard to figure out who to ask to get to the accommodation part
• Ozden (9/5): Excellent stay, very good dinner at the pub! - Location , Good value, very clean
• Arianna (10/5): - It's pretty close to everything, the host is really helpful and we loved the style of the hotel.
• Ruth (9/5): I would stay there anytime I’m in Sydney - I just loved the atmosphere my room the staff the food everything
• Leon (9/5): Was pleasently surprised, will rrturn - The price was more then fair, the old school feel of the hotel was nice, and the staff were more then accomodating Not being able to find the fans or knowing how to figure them out, room got very warm
• Henrik (3/5): Not again - Center located Long time no refurbishing, old carpets and smell
• Neal (8/5): An enjoyable stay. - The room was very hot.
• Caroline (9/5): -
• Little (7/5): Loved the character of the historic hotel. - The hotel had lots of character.
• Lara (10/5): - Great location, easy, comfortable stay. Old, but cute and clean. Shared bathrooms were well maintained. Check in and out was easy, would stay here again. As others have mentioned, the light from the hallway is a bit annoying as it comes in through the window over the door, and it can get a bit noisy with the pub - bring an eye mask and earplugs if you're sensitive.
• Shubham (3/5): -
• Lynda (7/5): Happy to help out independant business - inner city independent coffee and tea availability
• Kyoko (10/5): Great staff and clean place! And great location! - Staff! I was pregnant so I couldn't lift my suitcase so I was worried. But the lady carried my heavy suitcase to upstairs! It was a little bit hot on the first day because it was a hot day, but we got used to not having AC, but just fan from day 2
• Gayathri (10/5): -
• FANG (8/5): -
• Judi (10/5): AWESOME, LOVED IT, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, would deffinetly stay again. - we arrived late on Saturday night, the very friendly staff greeted us and showed us to our room, the room was exactly like the photos CLEAN and so cute. After a quick drink in the bar upstairs for a shower and off to bed, the shared bathrooms were absolutely spotless, and the shampoo conditioner and body wash great quality. We stayed for a week often eating in the restaurant, the meals were always more than we could eat, exception quality .....good pub grub. All in all our 6 nights were well worth the money, will definitely stay again. the coffee and tea station only had plunger coffee an option of just some instant coffee would be appreciated. The light in the hall comes through the window above the door and is a bit bright when you come from the bush and are used to DARK. The noise from the entertainment in the bar is quite loud upstairs but we packed ear plugs as we were aware there would be extra noise we are not used to.
• Paul (9/5): -
• Ryan (8/5): -
• Mitch (8/5): -
• Nelly (1/5): Fuyez - Le personnel est très sympas Il y avait des déchets et des cafards dans la chambre. Je suis partie car c’est insalubre et heureusement on m’a remboursée C’est également mal isolé on entend tout depuis la chambre et la vitre au dessus de la porte fait qu’il y a de la lumière toute la nuit dans la chambre car la lumière du couloir ne s’éteint pas
• David (10/5): Fantastic experience in a perfect location - clean, comfy and friendly - Great location, very friendly and responsive staff, and a fantastic experience staying above a classic Australian pub. Very clean. The aircon was a little loud but nothing unreasonable!
• Moya G (7/5): -
• Mathilde (8/5): Très bien. Merci beaucoup - Emplacement, Pub en dessous, le personnel, le confort, les équipements, la flexibilité La finesse des cloisons. On entends les voisins de chambres lorsqu’ils sont un peu trop bruyant. Pas du ressort de l’établissement
• mohammad sadiq (4/5): - Non functional heaters, old rooms
• Ivet Ausin (9/5): - Ubicación. El lugar era como antiguo pero estaba bien No tenia aire acondicionado. Aunque ya lo sabia... Pero hacia bastante calor. Sin mas
• Bryan (9/5): - Great location and very nice looking old hotel. The mattress was getting near end of life but still comfortable enough.
• Patrick (8/5): - Die Lage des Hotels ist großartig, CBT und der Hafen mit allen Sehenswürdigkeiten ist sehr schön zu Fuß zu erreichen. Die Einrichtung des Hotels ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen.
• Paradowska-Polak (10/5): Polecam! - Cudownie wspominam ten pobyt. Piękne pokoje, stylowe przestrzeni wspólne, super personel.
• Lawrence (10/5): Charming and great value with awesome pub downstairs - Perfect location near to airport as well as walking distance to botanical garden, museums and main harbours. Pub downstairs is great and isn’t a noise issue at all. Shared bathrooms and no day-to-day cleaning were minor downsides but no biggie
• Juliette (8/5): - Very clean and nice staff Rooms are a little bit old
• Karina (7/5): - Localização Não trocaram toalhas. Apenas quando pedi.
• Achim (10/5): -
• Robert (8/5): Excellent location, very helpful and friendly staff! - The complimentary beverages were a nice bonus! Nothing
• Sophie (9/5): Great place to start exploring Sydney - Great location, about 10 to 15 min walk from train station, really close to botanical garden. Great option to have a washing machine as well. Very nice room. Nothing.
• Siegfried (9/5): Beeindruckendes altes Hotel in grandioser Lage und urige Gaststätte im Erdgeschoss! - Die Lage war phantastisch, das Personal sehr freundlich! Das geschichtsträchtige, original aisgestattete Hotel hat uns sehr gefallen. WC und Dusche auf dem Gang war kein Problem. Hervorragende Frühstücksmöglichkeiten gleich um die Ecke! :-) Der Verkehrslärm ist im Zimmer zu hören.
• Michael (10/5): Super Central, wird das Personal, Hotel mit Atmosphäre! Wer was schickes/modernes sucht, ist hier aber falsch - Im Erdgeschoss ein traditioneller Pub mit sehr netten Personal! Die Zimmer und Baderäume waren super sauber. Die Zimmer hatte eine tolle Atmosphäre, da alles im alten britischen Stil eingerichtet ist!! —-
• Aurore (8/5): Lovely stay and great pub! - Really cosy room. Old style furniture give it a vintage touch. The shared bathrooms were very clean. The pub downstairs was lovely, with good food and great atmosphere (and live jazz on Sundays). The staff was amazing and very helpful in keeping my bags for me during the day before check-in. Would definitely stay again. Only downside was that the only window in my room was overlooking the extraction fans of the bathroom, which turned on automatically when the light was switched on and were very loud. I had to use earplugs the whole time to avoid being woken up by it whenever someone used the loo at night.
