Orient Hotel reviews
5 Star Review by Sh M
Pros: Excellent hotel and eatery right along the sea deck. Taste of Chicken burger and Garlic bread was really good. Fresh chicken patty in the burger which is rare to find nowadays. Guniess beer from tap was good quality beer from the tap. Full taste and density of the Stout as it should be. Price is quite good compared to other places. Staffs are good and always warm in behavior. Overall I recommend it to all and would be back again. Cons: Nothing
4 Star Review by Sujan Selven
Today, I tried the cheeseburger, and it was good. Served with chips and ketchup. It wasn't busy at the time, and there is a lot of outdoor space seating available. The place is located in a nice location and walking distance for a lot of other shops. There is also an upstairs section for dining, potential location for private event.
5 Star Review by Jon Waine
Upper level and kerbside dining very inviting. Centrally located in the heart of the rocks. Always a staple for a decent beer and lite meal. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Love it! Watched the footy with a beer downstairs, had a meal upstairs , came back down to watch some live music. Highly recommend.
4 Star Review by Allie B
Decent venue for food and drinks, a good location ion in the Rocks with varied selection of drinks and a little bit of everything in the menu with standard Aussie pub fare. Note the upstairs bar can get a bit backed up to do orders (for food and drink) on busy nights as the staff there are minimal and work leisurely in pace. The dining room hostesses/waitresses are good and will work to accommodate you in seating even when very busy

Nice tourist spot located in "the Rocks" district of Sydney. We had lunch outside in the large space in front of the restaurant. The staff were very friendly and the food was good.
