Cheap, old fashioned hotel rooms, but comfortable with good air conditioning and comfy beds.Good friendly bar downstairs. Very handy for trams and trains.

Quirky and quaint, it had everything I needed. Room was dusty and carpet not hoovered in corners. It reminded me of share houses I’ve lived in. If you like the patina of peeling wallpaper and the spooky feeling that things might fall apart the Shakey lives up to its nickname. Creaky doors and floors and bad works of art complete the grunge setting.

This is an old Sydney pub, you will be sharing a bathroom/toilets & climbing stairs etc.
We loved it!
The room was clean & comfortable. The toilets & bathroom was clean & well stocked with paper towels & soap. Meals were excellent & staff very friendly & accomodating. It's close to the City & walking distance to the SCG. We'll stay again 😊

Another visit and happy to stay again in future. Comfortable bed, great location and the Saturday night noise wasn’t a bother at all.
Bathroom needs work, but it’s all about the hot water and it didn’t run out!

I was solo traveling and thought this might be a fun 'guest room above the pub' experience - and it was. The hotel reflects the personality of the old English pub it rests above in decor and ambiance. The room was clean if 'ruffled' in decor, which is what one might expect from a pub. The bed was large, comfortable and very clean.
The shared bathrooms could use some refreshing in the paint/tile/polish department but were serviceable. The rooms are on the third floor, so there is no noise I noticed from the pub below.
The pub was fun and, again, what you might expect in a neighborhood English bar in vibe, food and drink. The staff were very friendly and helpful and made this a pleasant stay.

Hello - Am afraid, I did not enjoy this stay at all- no wifi, in this day and age of connectivity- did not have an extra blanket! I had fever and was shivering but was told they did not have any extra blankets, when the rest of the rooms were empty, Was given an additional sheet to use- Vintage is ok, but a musty room is not ok - vibe of the place made us feel like the rooms were put almost like an afterthought

It was a cozy little spot.
Very rustic and a vintage building.
If you're looking for a pool, gym, sauna and brand new facilities this place isn't for you.
However if you're looking for an experience with a friendly staff and an old school feel, look no further.
Shared bathrooms and shower facilities but I greatly enjoyed my stay.

This classic hotel is just a short walk from central an the hub of Surry Hills. My room was clean and the bed very comfortable. The shared bathroom was fine and the communal tea/coffee making supplies were appreciated. Rooms were fitted out in an eclectic way making the stay memorable, looking forward to a return stay.

The Expedia listing had this place as a 4* establishment, but I’m not sure how. The room was basic, and not the cleanest. The bathroom was a very basic shower in a bath and was not in great condition. It was also shared for the whole floor!
I stayed two nights, and my room was not cleaned or tidied during my stay.
There was a very limited connection to a very slow internet throughout the building. Best reception was down the the eatery behind the bar. Not the most practical!
Although my stay was short, it turned out to be a big mistake as my passport was taken from my room! I only had one full day in Sydney, and I decided that I shouldn’t take my passport out with me while I traveled around the city. I hid the passport in the room in a not obvious place, as there was no safe. It was gone when I was packing to leave the next day.
The staff downstairs did offer me use of the phone, but no real urgency or other help after that.
Not sure i’d ever recommend staying here. I wouldn’t again.

Rooms are clean, but basic. Shared bathrooms nearby. Quiet location, despite being above the pub. Handy to Central Station and Crown Street cafes are restaurants.
