Easy to get transport, nightlife & food. Old trendy pub, tidy and clean rooms. But my only negative would be that it has a weird smell coming from bathroom, which it could be due to that fact that the shower properly needs a shower curtin-The water from shower floods the bathroom & wets the carpet near bathroom. (or it might be the drains) ##### Tammy Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Adam 5 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Modest but clean and good amenities.

I recommend the stay. ##### Pedro Stayed 6 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sharon 1 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great location and a good pub! Great location, accomodating staff. I knew there was no elevator, so can't complain about that! Pub was great for happy hour and dinner. Bathroom was smallish and reminded me of being in an RV, but knew about that too. All in all a good place to stay for a couple of days. ##### Sharon Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Citadines Connect Sydney Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Citadines-Connect-Sydney-Airport.h20235443.Hotel-Information) > > [Crossroads Hotel Liverpool](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Crossroads-Hotel-Liverpool.h9628167.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Woolstore 1888, Sydney - Handwritten Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Hotel-Woolstore-1888.h6022221.Hotel-Information) > > [Tamworth Lodge Motel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tamworth-Hotels-Tamworth-Lodge-Motel.h15074358.Hotel-Information) > > [Mango Cottage 8 – Poolside Family Retreat with 4 Ensuites, Pet Friendly](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Coffs-Harbour-Hotels-Mango-Cottage-8-Poolside-Family-Retreat-With-4-Ensuites.h109038066.Hotel-Information) > > [One Global Resorts Green Square](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-One-Global-Resorts-Green-Square.h36862886.Hotel-Information) > > [Bronte Beach Coastal Apartment with Ocean View](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Bronte-Beach-Coastal-Apartment-With-Ocean-View.h68061218.Hotel-Information) > > [YHA Sydney Harbour](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Sydney-Harbour-YHA-Hostel.h9625622.Hotel-Information) > > [Sydney Harbour Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Rydges-Sydney-Harbour.h16764.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn & Suites Sydney Bondi Junction by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Quest-Bondi-Junction-Serviced-Apartments.h4451632.Hotel-Information) > > [Shangri-La Sydney](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Shangri-La-Sydney.h11974.Hotel-Information) > > [Ovolo Sydney Woolloomooloo, a Wyndham Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Ovolo-Woolloomooloo.h460350.Hotel-Information) > > [Clarendon Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newcastle-Hotels-The-Clarendon-Hotel.h4574321.Hotel-Information) > > [The Lord Nelson Brewery Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-THE-LORD-NELSON-BREWERY-HOTEL.h38400078.Hotel-Information) > > [The Strand Hotel ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-The-Strand-Hotel.h36133388.Hotel-Information) > > [YHA Sydney Central](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Sydney-Central-YHA-Hostel.h3657444.Hotel-Information) > > [The Premier Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newcastle-Hotels-The-Premier-Hotel.h9625212.Hotel-Information) > > [Riverside Apartments & Hotel Ballina](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Byron-Bay-Hotels-Riverside-Holiday-Apartments-Ballina.h4620703.Hotel-Information) > > [Wake Up!
