Enjoyed a three night stay at The Old Clare Hotel. We loved the location close to Spice Alley and transport links. Our room was really spacious-great bed and interesting bathroom arrangement. Absolutely loved an early morning swim in the rooftop heated pool. Hotel staff in reception and at breakfast and in the main bar were really friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the variety available at breakfast most days. The events team at The Old Clare,however, need to consider the impact of holding large events on other guests. The rooftop bar was closed most evenings for ‘private’ groups and breakfast on the final morning was severely disrupted for other guests due to the arrangements made for a conference.

From check-in to check-out, this hotel exceeded our expectations. It’s great to see a classic Aussie pub reborn into something new. The wider hotel decor was vibrant and fun, suite layout spacious and considered, toiletries high quality and mini bar selection decent. More power outlets/USB outlets in the room would be nice. The staff were helpful and accommodating, though felt a little inexperienced at times, mostly at reception and the rooftop bar. The lift was slow. These were very minor downsides. We’d definitely return.

Outstanding service, very clean and cozy rooms! We stayed here a while back and only just got around to leaving a review. We were in Sydney for the Taylor Swift concert, despite being fully booked out that month the staff has made an immense effort to have our room ready 1 hour prior to check in. We really appreciated it! Sasha and another gentleman at the front desk were kind and very helpful with earlier check in, bags, where we could catch a train etc. The staff helped us store our bags prior to check in and also when we checked out before our later flight. When we arrived to our rooms our bags were already brought up there, which was very attentive! Rooms were very clean, beds were soft and pillows were perfect too. Our room had a glass bathroom (the glass is frosted so not see through), that was absolutely fine with us (but a heads up for others, do check your booking if it’s not your cup of tea). The hotel is also easy walking distance to the train station. Definitely recommend, thank you for the lovely stay and we will be back in the future!

Service and location is unbeatable, super great. However for the price, I expected more cleanliness in the room. I stayed in the Abercrombie Room. The bathroom was not spotless, the screens had grime and dust on the tables. The bed is also super soft/sinks in so not ideal for long stays/guests with back problems.

We stayed at the Old Clare Hotel for our anniversary and were extremely happy and will be coming back next year! I would recommended staying here for your city trips as appose to staying in circular quay as it’s only a 6minute Uber and you get way better quality and price. The only critique I would say is there was no toilet brush which was strange.
