Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

A gem worth finding

An old world experience in an older hotel. Staff were great and Ally, at check in, couldn't be more helpful. Comfortable room with a full size bath and all the usual amenities. A lot of stairs (no lift) made my injured knee pay but it was worth it. The Underground jazz night with a great meal and reasonably priced drinks gave me a memorable experience.

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!

Hotel is an old pub with lots of character. Just have to accept squeaky floors. Parking in the area is a problem and expensive.

Darren was a wonderful help during our stay. Sorted a table for dinner in the Basement night club and really looked after us. Stayed for a bit of the performance by Fish Fry and had a nice night. Lovely old hotel and only wish the wall could talk.
