Occidental Hotel reviews
1 Star Review by Wendy Colins
Location was great, everything was within easy access. Beds were comfortable & thats as far as the positives go for this place. Its old in age & keeping the characteristics is great, but its time some money was spent on the fixtures & fitting of the accommodation. Rooms are small & thats okay considering the age of the building. Couldnt tell you what the views were like as the windows were that thick in dirt you couldnt see out, windows shutters were broken & didnt open up properly to get what light the filthy windows could let in. Light fixtures missing light globes, tv was as big as my laptop & couldnt always get it to work. One pillow per bed & were paper thin, couldnt get any more as no spare pillows anywhere to be found & hotel staff couldnt find any extras either, rooms not facilitated each day so no clean towels or crockery. Only supplied coffee sachets for first day of arrival, dont be a tea drinker because they dont supply any tea bags only coffee. Youll be one of the lucky ones if you ask for the use of hairdryer or iron as staff said we know we have one, but dont know where it is. Be aware it communal showers & toilets. Also before making a booking (if youre game enough to take the chance on this place) ask if a function has been booked because they dont make mention on the website that youll be kept up until the function music stops punching out its beats until 1am, so no sleeping until then. Lastly most of the staff we dealt with really unfriendly & came across as everything was an effort when asking for anything. Wont be returning or recommending

Stayed during the 1st half of October and would recommend this place to anyone! The room is of a good size, comfortable bed, facilities to have make yourself a coffee. The communal showers and toilets are always clean and each and every one of the staff are friendly and willing to help! Cam

Historic Sydney Hotel. Comfortable and quiet room. Bathroom is shared with other guests on the floor but not a problem for us as we didnt encounter any. Great value for money right in the centre of Sydney.
3 Star Review by A. Faustmann
Stayed one night. It is a pub and offers rooms, that clearly sets the expectation. Hence, I was not expecting much. The room was quite big, queen or double bed for one person. Unfortuantely a little smelly which probably came from the old carpet. As the sheet had come off I was able to take a look at the mattress and it looked like new!! Also slept really well on it. Perfect firmness. So that was definitely a plus. Shared bathrooms and showers were all clean. The place could do with an update. The carpet for sure ;) As there are bars around - a certain level of noise is to be expected. Friendly team, especially security was super helpful. Overall things were ok and as expected.

Very swish update to an old classic. It was a bit of a shock to find the back bar in a different place but seemed like the old crowd still turning up !! I love an old style boozer but then I'm old !! Still a friendly pub and usually very busy. I'll still be going for a bus beer once in a while
