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.

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

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!

I visited the bar on the first floor of the Mercantile Hotel in Sydney. I only had a beer, but I really enjoyed the relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. A great place to unwind

Mercantile Hotel is most well known for St Patrick’s Day festivities and its pub is the oldest Irish pub in Sydney. The Mercantile has traded continuously since 1915 on the site adjacent to the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge. The Mercantile Pub has earned a reputation as the home of Irish music in Australia and a place where unforgettable memories are made.

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.

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.

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.
