This is a beautiful old building and the room is absolutely beautiful. The shutters don’t block out all the light and the windows are as old as the building so the street noise comes through BUT the neighborhood is quiet. The bar and restaurant are very good and highly convenient.

We really enjoyed our short stay in this historic hotel. The room was very comfortable. We knew there was not an elevator and requested a low er floor which the hotel honored. We were on the second floor, third floor by American standards. An employee took our bags upstairs for us but we had an early morning flight and had to leave the hotel by 4:15 AM which meant we had to navigate Our luggage down the stairs. You just need to be aware of this. We had dinner in the pub and it was good. The pub is a very popular place and is very busy so make a reservation if you plan to eat there.

Interesting little heritage place. Room was bigger and more modern than expected. Staff, especially in the pub weren't overly friendly and seemed much more comfortable with locals than tourists. Super close to the Ricks, Skytower etc. No elevator so beware if you have accessibility issues.

Great food and beer was excellent! Location is very walkable to both Circular Quay and Darling harbour. However….there is no elevator! Our room was 3 flights up and no porter to assist. We would not stay there again for that reason.

Really cool place to stay a night or two in Sydney. You sleep upstairs over the bar/restaurant which has great beers on draft. Bed was comfortable and room spacious. Neighborhood is quiet and close to The Rocks where lots of restaurants are located as well as a beautiful walking area in Bangaroo.
