Great place to stay in Sydney
Wonderful, character-filled building, convenient to walk to waterfront and other parts of Sydney. Friendly staff and restaurant as part of pub had wonderful food (we hardly ever eat in hotel dining places but we went here twice as was so good. A great option after a long day of touring) Great beer too! Guests should know that there is no elevator which might be problematic for some.

Excellent and quaint.
Great service and enthusiasm from staff, very helpful. Rooms are big enough, clean, comfortable. Bar has several good house brews and excellent fish and chips (with malt vinegar). Walking distance to SOH, ferries, Metro. One down point - no elevator but that is because, as the oldest working pub in Sydney, it is a protected building.
