Having arrived in Sydney early in the morning, I knew that I would have to wait until the hotel / pub opened to check in. However, seeing someone in the bar, I took a chance and knocked on the door. Tony (? - from New Zealand) was most welcoming, got me a drink, told me all about the hotel / food options etc. and offered to look after my luggage if I wanted to go out and come back later once the room was ready. The room, which was serviced daily, was basically just what I wanted - nothing fancy, but somewhere to shower & sleep. The breakfast option (bread / butter / jam / honey / coffee / tea / milk all available outside the room) was ideal for me as I had a few late nights & early mornings, so could grab what I wanted when I needed it. I would certainly be happy to stay again. Downsides? Well, apart from the guy in the next room running his shower at 3.00 a.m. and setting off the fire alarm with the steam (then locking himself out of the room, so couldn't turn the shower off!!) the only real issue was that the hotel is on a corner so there was some traffic noise. That said, I was so tired with all I was doing, that it hardly stopped me sleeping. I understand that the hotel was about to change hands and an update to some of the decorating would help, but if I do ever return to Sydney, the Glasgow Arms would be top of my list. Thanks for a great time.

Accommodation part of the hotel needs a bit of maintenance. Tap in our ensuite needed fixing, shower cubicle needs a good clean. Some of the walls need patching up as the hotel is rather dated. Otherwise our stay was okay.

The accommodation is pretty basic and fairly run down. Very comfortable beds. The only thing we really didn't like was how dirty the room and bathroom were. There were still hairs on the floor from the previous occupants and it looked like the room never really gets a deep cleaning. The latch inside the bathroom door was broken, there was no way to turn off the noisy fan in the bathroom that was on 24/7. Other than that, it's convenient, within walkable distance from all the Darling Harbour amenities and CBD and surprisingly quiet.
