Great location-needs an upgrade

Location

There was a strange smell in my room, which I was unable to get rid of (but did become accustomed to).

Perfect location, historical building and lovely views from the balcony. Very friendly and helpful staff. Comfortable room with sun streaming in.

The hotel is a 1914 Irish pub, so old and in need of some maintenance. Stayed in room 17. Very nice room and big ensuite but the ensuite needed a number of maintenance items and could have been cleaner. Lots of stairs to negotiate. They claim Wi Fi but very dodgy. TV reception was poor and any connection was difficult.

Great location, 25 George St. About 10 min walk from Circular Quay station. Easy roam back into the Rocks , to the Harbour Bridge and the OPera House. The hotel is a 1914 Irish pub, so old and rustic with atmosphere, not sterile, which we liked. Excellent food. Nice and comfortable room (but old). Big ensuite. Very quiet despite its location. Breakfast was a 15% discount at the "4 Doors Down" (from the pub) cafe.

I know why it was cheap but I didn't let the noise from the hotel to bother me & would stay there again.

It was close to what I needed.

rundown room but been told renovations are on the table

location! pay for what you get, okay to stay in a couple of days as we didn't want to waste any time in the room when there was so much to explore

The room: had cobwebs hanging from the ceiling; skirting boards were covered in thick dust; had to walk down 3 flights of stairs to ask for a jug of water to fill an electric kettle; no hot water in one of the shared bathrooms.

I liked the location, being within The Rocks area in Sydney. The double bed was comfortable enough being inner spring. The room was quiet from street noise. The TV had good reception for Netflix.

The property is bit run down with mould in some parts of the room & bathroom (walls)

Its location is great! Good pub food. comfy bed & good shower; stayed overnight;

The shower wasn't the best, the lighting was dull

The location was great, the rocks are amazing, the bathroom was a good size, the bed was comfortable. Being above a pub, the noise level was fine and we had no problems getting to sleep

Stayed in September 2024

The only downside is the mould in the bathroom

The location is amazing. The staff were friendy

Comfy beds..good size rooms Handy location, close to Circular Quay

Brilliant location

Stayed in August 2024

I guess you get what you play for. The bathrooms are shared, but right outside the door. The beds weren't comfy (please invest in pillow mattress covers) The wall in our room was all peeling. No aircon.

Location is perfection. If you want to explore the Rocks and Circular Quay this is a brilliant option. The Market is also right out the door so you can get a yummy gozleme or other food from the food carts. The Hotel also has a great cafe 4 Doors Down, which we had an excellent cheap breakfast at. But the Mercantile also has an EXCELLENT menu and all day and late night dining. Very reasonably priced and the best chips in Sydney. Yum, I'm missing them already. Drinks are also reasonably priced. The staff are absolutely lovely. They also have great bands, musicians, dancing and party atmosphere. Had the funnest weekend.

Terribly uncomfortable bed and pillows one being too hard the other too soft My room was also very noisy - not talking about the pub (this one I didn't hear at all as my room was on the other side), but there are ventilators in the yard which made me wear earplugs or noise-cancelling headphones almost all the time when I was in the room or sleeping

Very friendly staff and location which is hard to beat

Stayed in August 2024

Just the smell of the room was a bit off, not sure why. It is an older hotel.

It was fun and friendly. The toilets and rooms were relatively clean for the age of the facility. The location was fabulous, as were the staff. The food and drink were reasonably priced. The Rocks markets were right out our door. And the daily Irish bands were really fun. I would stay here again.

Stayed in August 2024

Bed was uncomfy - shared bathroom (but we knew that before we booked so not really a problem - maybe there'll be ensuites after the renovations.)

Great location - showing its age, but there are going to be renovations soon. Fanatastic staff.

The only thing that could be improved is the cleanliness overall of the interior of the venue!

Great location, close to all the famous tourist attractions and public transport. A number of good restaurants in the area.

No Carlton Draught Beer, but I got over that.

I liked everything about my stay, next time will stay longer
