The pub on the first floor was loud, but it was not a problem on the fourth floor where I stayed. My whole family could get a good stay at a very good price and a good drink at the pub. The traffic sound was a bit loud because the hotel is located in the center of the city.

This is in a good location in Sydney and a very cheap price, note the bathrooms are shared which was ok for me. Good for those who want a roof over their heads and nothing more. I would stay here again, the pub downstairs has a good happy hour and dinner specials every night

Great location and a very charming building and pub. Staff were friendly and professional, also we were able to store our bags after check out so we could get out & about before heading to the airport. Good value for money. If I stay again I would just bring some ear plugs as the street can be quite noisy throughout the night (not from patrons but vehicles etc).

The hotel doesn’t really have a reception so be aware when checking in. We had to go to the bar to find someone which is slightly unusual. Even though it is above a bar it was quiet and did have a lift. There was also luggage storage which was great.
