An inviting but posh space in a converted factory space. Room was spacious and industrial-chic in style, while the dining and roof top were both devine. Full marks!!!

The room is very well equipped and furnished. It was a small room but it didn’t feel small. The hotel is very close to the Central station which leads you to pretty much everywhere in the CBD or close suburbs.
Response from Property: Thank you so much for your kind words! We're really glad to hear that you found the room well-equipped and comfortable despite its size. Our central location is something many guests appreciate, so we're happy it made getting around easy for you too. We hope to welcome you back soon!

The quality of breakfast is very good, the transportation is also very convenient, there is also a shopping mall opposite, with restaurants and supermarkets, which meet basic needs. Overall, it is very cost-effective and will recommend it to friends and family!

In general, it is not bad. The facilities, hygiene, environment, service and other aspects are still good. The whole interior decoration style is quite distinctive. What is particularly luxurious is that the room is equipped with a Boss speaker. I think it is the first time I have seen it. It is a bit surprising that breakfast is not a buffet but a meal.

The last hotel in Sydney, it was better than expected, upgraded to Mario Suite. Full of design, the living room is very good. The bathroom is excellent, there is a capsule coffee machine with milk. Tea bag T2, which helps sleep. There is a Chinese restaurant in the street next to it, with traditional decoration and lanterns hanging high.

I rarely write hotel reviews, but the Old Clare Hotel is a hotel that I am very satisfied with. From the location to the hotel facilities to the service and cost-effectiveness, I think it is a particularly good experience. If I go to Sydney next time, I will choose here again. Location: Located in the center of Sydney, there is a very distinctive small street below, which is very lively on weekend nights. It takes less than three minutes to walk to the supermarket and ww supermarket, which is also very convenient for buying some supplies. It only takes 5 minutes to walk to the bus Environment: It is an old building that has been transformed. While retaining the characteristics of its original historical buildings, the room facilities will not feel old at all, but it feels very distinctive. Service: It can be said that I am very very very very satisfied. Whether I checked in on the first day or checked out on the last day. The front desk received us very well. We arrived in Sydney at six o'clock in the morning on the first day, and we were allowed to check in early to wash up. On the last day, I lost my opal card in the hotel, and the front desk staff also helped me find it. Thank you very much!
