Convenient location
Pros:

There is a frequent bus (120) stopping right outside the hotel, which takes only 15 minutes into downtown. Staff was very friendly. There are nice areas to hang out as well.

Cons:

Bed was too soft. The room was not very soundproofed, so the pub crowd downstairs was quite hearable.

If you like a quiet place, try a different place.
Pros:

Access to public transport

Cons:

Very very noisy. During my stay drinking/drunk patrons were constantly cussing, shouting, banging tables and everything can be heard in the rooms. Couldn't rest until the pub is closed at around past midnight.

Comfortable beds, free parking, close to most things however needs some improvements.
Pros:

The beds were very comfy and free parking

Cons:

The communal bathroom had broken tiles which was sharp on our feet. Water pooled deep as we stepped out of the shower. The metal trim holding down the flooring surfaces between the hallway and toilet had lifted and my child stubbed his toe. Complimentary shampoo and soap dispensers broken off the wall. TV so tiny you need good eye sight. No UHT milks in room to make a cuppa.

Pros:

The room was clean, shared bathroom was clean and the bed was comfortable.

Cons:

We had booked two rooms and due to illness could only use one. Even though the hotel was not fully booked they declined a refund on the unused room. Very disappointing

It was short but sweet and fulfilled my expectations.
Pros:

The room was adequate and the bed was comfy. I was only there overnight but the kitchen and bathroom facilities were very good and the staff friendly.

Cons:

I had an early morning departure and when I got downstairs with my luggage I couldn't work out how to open the door
until I just pushed the horizontal railings in the middle of the doors and it opened. I almost missed my taxi.

My stay in Sydney was brief and this hotel was just right
Pros:

The location was close to where my event was. I liked that it was a traditional pub with accommodation

Cons:

I’m not used to having to share bathroom facilities so that wasn’t good for me

Was ok but wouldn’t stay there again & wouldn’t recommend.
Pros:

Warm reception when I arrived. It was quiet in the evenings.

Cons:

The main light in the room wasn’t working. Water flooded the floor in one of the bathrooms, kitchen sink full of dirty dishes from other guests. Microwave didn’t seem to be working very well. Had to wait for a long time for hot water in shower. Carpet stained.
