    The East Sydney Hotel is a charming place, well located near the city, Botanic Gardens and Woolloomooloo Wharf.

    Window of room 9 won't close properly and luckily it is not winter yet. There was one day where storm hit Sydney and rained whole day. After which, seen some coakroaches in the room which I didn't notice before the rain. The mini bar was not very cold but just cool.

    Pantry and bathrooms have fair service and replenishment of items. Occasionally ran out sugar or shampoo during higher number of occupants on certain days. Love the response of staffs and Sam has been proactive and thoughtful in offering storage of luggage on last day of my stay. I really felt that the hotel is trying their best to be hospitable in many ways possible. Had a wonderful stay and definitely will recommend to friends who likes to visit Cathedral, Museums, Royal.Botanical Park, Hyde Barrack etc.....all walking distances.

    Perfect stay, absolutely no complaints! The bar opens till 1am, but was super happy that in our bedroom, couldn't hear the music etc at all! Massive thank you to your wonderful house keeping lady, we lost a ring in the room & hadn't realised until after we checked out. She found it & attached it to out bags ready for collection later <3 Location was perfect, we walked in / out of the city everyday, in about 10 minutes- and the room was gorgeous, spacious, clean & cool style - the balcony was lovely to have too.

    I absolutely loved this hotel. Its vintage charm was very appealing, it was affordable, it was in a fantastic location, it was very clean and the staff were helpful and professional. I loved it and will use this hotel every time I visit Sydney from now on. Also the pub is open very late so that’s convenient too.

    Great location, just 15 mins walk from the Opera House. Rooms are almost historic, but offer modern comfort. Very friendly staff, all clean, safe surroundings. Shared bathrooms, but enough of them not having to wait. Staff is willing to help with luggage storage, if needed. There is no breakfast, but there are several cafés nearby. Would be happy to come back!

    Inconsiderate other hotel guests that shed their hair all over the shared bathroom and don't clean up after themselves.

    Love the old charm of this hotel/pub. Manager was helpful and responsive. Room was outfitted with high intensity fans as there's no a/c. Great location on bus line and close to downtown.

    Shared bathroom made me uncomfortable.

    Price and location. Also the fact no security deposit was needed as I paid online. It’s never easy to come up with 100 spare dollars even when you’re going to have it returned.

    Room 9 was small, but functional. Windows/screens had gaps. No aircon. Noisy traffic. The coffee/tea/water station in the hallway was good, but not always serviced, so I had to ask several times for replenishments.

    Location, friendly staff, price.

    Unfortunately I did encounter a cockroach in my room, but the hotel is over 100 years old. The rooms have no air conditioning. The windows need to be open on hot nights and the street noise is quite loud. There is no breakfast service.

    The facility is a very old classic hotel, very nice and clean with a fantastic pub downstairs. Don't expect high end, but clean and tidy and well priced.

    There was nothing to complain about.

    At first, the rooms were super clean, the beds ultra comfy and the shared bathrooms excellent (clean, spacious, bright and smelled good + the provided body wash & shampoo from SUKIN is a big plus!). The staff was very friendly and welcoming, the communication via Mail was quick and easy (thx Sam) and the location of the Hotel is excellent. I would definitely come back and it would be my first choice.

    I liked it all to be honest. I thought shared bathrooms might be a pain, but didn't have to que. So can't complain

    All of it. Really friendly helpfull staff. Good food. Excellent bar, good selection of beer. Close to CBD, and rail stations. Nice location. East Sydney Hotel for me was perfect. And an iron & ironing board 🙂

    There's a fan in the room but no aircon and not a lot of airflow, so it can get hot and muggy.

    What it says on the tin - no breakfast, shared bathrooms but the rooms are comfortable and the location good.

    The rooms are not air conditioned and we had some warm nights. However the provided large fan made our stay comfortable enough. The three shared bathrooms were adequate and we never had to wait for availability.

    Excellent location and great value for the price. The staff were friendly and accommodating. We stayed 4 nights and were able to leave our luggage with them on checkout day as we had a later flight. Really loved how everything in Sydney was in walking distance. The walk to St. James Station for the airport train was 10 minutes.

    February's hot nights we had to have windows open because there is no airconditioning, so road noise was sometimes an issue.

    Cleanliness of whole pub was great, especially the accommodation bathrooms. Unbeatable location for walking around Sydney. We liked the small intimate pub and music
