"The property itself and the staff were amazing ! So helpful and the breakfast was also really good. It is super close to circular quay and the opera house along with great restaurants!! The only drawback is if you are walking from the light rail to the property it is up a couple of short but quite steep hills , so if you are elderly or have walking issues then maybe a taxi straight to the front door. But overall a great place to stay. "

"Love the old style pub and its history. Comfortable but showing its age, room was noise due to work being done on the block behind the building just outside our bath room window, but the bath room door was water damaged and could not be closed. Would stay again, there appears to be plans to do work on the build in 2024"
