The 7 Best Hotels in Sydney (Updated 2025)

"Located in the historic Rocks neighborhood, this three-star hotel is just a five-minute walk from the iconic Opera House and Harbour Bridge. I especially like that it houses Australia’s longest-running Irish pub with regular live music; rooms are simple, minimalist, and practical but large with comfortable beds. Rooms include free Wi‑Fi, AC, and a coffee/tea maker, and the bathrooms, while small, are well-kept. There’s no breakfast on-site but plenty of nearby options—the emphasis here is more on location than amenities, offering good value and making it the best place to stay in The Rocks on a budget." - Matthew Kepnes

We didn't stay, we ate! Shamrock pie and Guinness is a match made in heaven. Highly recommend. Customer service is second to none. A live band in the beer garden made everything perfect. Can't wait to visit again when the renovations have been completed.

Closed for renovations but just 4 doors down are looking after us. Same smiling faces to greet you. Lovely cold beers on tap and any other drink you might like as well. Can’t go past the famous shamrock pie especially on a drizzly day. Lovely outside area to relax and listen to great music. Definitely enjoyed our stay and will be back next month for another visit. So glad you found a way of still trading. Will look forward to actually staying a night as well.

Beer garden out the back is mint. Live entertainment was awesome and the Irish blokes behind the bar will serve you a sensational authentic Guinness

A warm Irish welcome in the bar, cold Guinness, clean toilets, and comfy seats, roadside on the top end of George. Nice 80s vibe with Toto, Journey, Dire Straits, etc - subtle, in the background, volume just right. Menu looks good. If I wasn't just in for pints, I'd definitely eat here.

Pub is under renovation but the food is worth the visit!! Can’t go past the Irish Curry, especially on a cold Autumn/Winter’s day!

Been coming here for years. It's my go to pub, along with the Hero of Waterloo up the road. Cold Beer and cider, very decent Guinness. Great atmosphere and live music. Friendly staff and awesome bouncers. What more could you ask for during a pub crawl in the Rocks.

We visited the pub on Saturday for lunch. They use a QR code for ordering and the calamari was marked as Gluten Free but showed chips which were beer battered and not gluten free. Before ordering I checked with a staff member who confirmed with the kitchen that the meal was gluten free. I ordered and it came out with beer battered chips. I questioned it again and the server spoke to the kitchen who said I didn't request gluten free and she tried to put the meal down again and said it was my fault. I showed her the app and showed her it was marked as gluten free and not an option to make gluten free. She stormed off to the kitchen again and came back with the calamari this time with the gluten free sweet potato chip option. She basically slammed the food on the table in front of me making all of us jump and then every time she walked past us or bought more drinks out she gave us incredibly dirty looks. We did nothing to deserve this terrible service and there is an error in the app menu. Wouldn't go back

Friendly local pub in The Rocks - just what we needed after a get-together on the Harbour! Staff were very accommodating considering how many of us arrived without a booking; I was very impressed at how quickly a table and seats were arranged for us, particularly on a Saturday afternoon. Live music was great - terrific atmosphere for a few pints with mates!
