    Awesome stay

    • Double Room with Shared Bathroom
    • Stayed 2 nights

    Well, the bathrooms are shared, even through there were three of them on the floor, I normally had to wait in the mornings. However, that's not the fault of the hotel, but of inconsiderable people spending an hour in the shared bathroom. I would also love to have some shower gel/shampoo in the bathroom

    Awesome place, the design, the rooms, tea, coffee, plates all available, the cleanness, the bathrooms (even the soap was nice), there even was a heater in my room! The pub downstairs also looked awesome, I just didn't have an opportunity to eat/drink there

    The doors are very old and the doors grinded all the time, which made sleeping difficult as my parents went to the bathroom frequently at night. I guess it's something easy to fix.

    The staff is amazingly friendly and kind. The location is perfect! They also had a coffee station with excellent coffee quality :)

    Realised we were staying above a pub, but didn't expect there to be music until after 1am on a Thursday night.

    Easy walking distance to the Harbour area, Botanical Gardens and all the art galleries. Generally very quiet part of town. Nicely decorated and felt like you were stepping back in time or visiting an elderly relatives welcoming house.

    That there will be more gentrification in the neighbourhood and it will be difficult to get a room in the East Sydney Hotel.

    Its great location- museums, parks, gardens, restaurants and public transportation are all within a 5 minute walk. It has managed to maintain its charm from glamorous times gone by. The room was comfy and very beautiful - filled with antiques and great details. I really liked the self service tea and coffee bar in the hallway. The bathrooms are squeaky clean and the shower heads have great pressure. The popular pub below provides delicious food and great entertainment on the weekends. The staff is friendly and kindly kept our luggage before our evening flight.

    A lovely historic small hotel with comfortable rooms and a brilliant location.

    Memory foam mattresses are pretty cheap nowadays, so the mattresses at the hotel could be upgraded at a low cost. Otherwise, everything was just what I needed.

    The location is right next to the Domain which is absolutely beautiful. I went for a jog every morning and loved the location. The hotel is a very cool old-school hotel with a lovely Irish pub downstairs. The staff at the bar/hotel were very friendly. The room is a great value. It's not a luxury hotel obviously, so don't expect more than a basic room with a reasonably comfortable bed. There was always a bathroom available, so not having one ensuite was no problem for me.

    The traffic noise. Its an olive's old hotel and the windows don't block the traffic noise. My little ear plugs weren't high tech enough to block the noise.

    Such a cute lovely hotel and it's a great location except for the traffic noise.

    The bedroom I stayed in didn't have an air con (this is stated in the room's description). I knew what I paid for, but I'll put it here anyways for them to consider an upgrade.

    The location was excellent, within a short walk from the train station. The staff was extremely helpful, even with our late check-in. It is an old building, but the bed was super comfy, and the bathrooms were new and clean. Recommended.

    It would have been great to have aircon, as it was quite stuffy and there wasn’t a breeze but that’s ok. There wasn’t a breakfast that I was aware of…and the water station didn't have water

    Loved the location. Super quiet even though it was in such a central location. Loved the beds, such comfy pillows.

    My windows were right on Crown Street, which is a very busy throughfare. Luckily for me, during my stay there Crown Street was blocked off at Oxford St, so It was ok. The pictures of the room were much improved on the actual room, so it appeared much larger than it really was.

    All staff were very friendly and helpful and the room/facilities were very clean.

    There was no air conditiong in the room, only a fan that was noisy during the night - it was the main downside. For that price, in such a wealthy country and hot climate air conditioning is a must! Also the beds are too small for a tall person, but for 2 nights it's ok nevertheless. Generally, it's not a hotel but rather a hostel - no cleaning, shared bathroom

    Friendly stuff, exceptional location, clean accommodation, overall good experience
