Very friendly and helpful staff. The manager took us through the busy bar personally and led us to our room. He even helped carry one of our bags. A really beautiful old pub with its own brewery.

This was a charming place, very friendly staff, and walking distance to Circular Quay and Darling Harbour. The charm is great - Syndey's oldest hotel and sitting atop a pub and brewery. Main regret is not having time to sample each of the beers.
