Disliked: Amenities
The hotel room was quite good for a building of its age however, it was very noisy both mornings, very early on with the sopunds of delivery trucks outside my room. Also, apart from bar staff in the afternoons and evenings, there were no staff to be seen anywhere in the mornings and no guidance on check-out, where to leave key, etc. Overall an OK stay for the price.

The room 9 was clean and the staff very nice. Bed and pillows were OK. It is an old property so bathrooms and carpet were tired as was paintwork. Wall had a hole near the balcony door. Had noisy neighbours on the balcony at 11pm. It did the job and was cost effective but probs will chose elsewhere next time.

As beautifully renovated pub, the rooms are spacious, clean and quiet. The location is fantastic for walkability to the beach, the city, local walking paths,and public transport. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful for anything you ,might need. The underground cocktail bar is a particular treat, and for the price, this is a really great stay for a weekend away from Sydney to see the sights of Newy!
