Australian Heritage Hotel - The Rocks

Excellent location within easy walking distance of the Harbor Bridge, Opera House, and Circular Quay docks & train station. The room was clean & comfortable, though it is an old-style hotel so it's a bit small & lacks some modern conveniences. The Wifi signal was weak, though useable & free. The service was good & the staff friendly & helpful, though […] the reception desk doubles as the bar for the pub downstairs (may be an issue for some, a plus for others ;-) ). The pub has good food & beer & is known for their pizzas. If you want the latest & greatest in hotel accommodations this place isn't for you, but if you seek a comfortable place to sleep while you tour the city on a budget this hotel is a good value. Definitely would return. Read more

Located right in the middle of The Rocks, just a shirt walk to Circluar Quay. Service was excellent, Claire took care of us during our stay. Bread, toast, yogurt and fruit were available for breakfast. Room and bathrooms were clean. This is an older building but well maintained. Would definitely stay here again :)

The room was small,clean, and comfortable. There were 4-5 individual bathrooms available to share. Rates were very good.

We were so happy to stay at the Heritage Hotel. It is authentic Australian hotel living. The bathrooms were very clean, linen's were clean and fresh, and the staff could not have been more helpful. The location was the best-we walked everywhere. We were only minutes from the Opera house, gardens and ferries to the zoo. We ate dinner at the bar/restaurant […] every night-the pizza and meat pies were great. It rained three days straight when we stayed-the hot pot in the common room was a comfort to make tea any time we wanted. The breakfast was yogart in the mini-fridge, toast and jam and fruit. Quick and there when we wanted a early departure. If you are a modern, sterile person -you will be out of place here. If you want to experience true Austrailian hospitality in a historic location-you cant beat this hotel. You may even be lucky ,as we were, to join into the trivia games night and join the locals in "a pint". Read more

We are seasoned travelers in our 60's and have stayed in this type of hotel before. I had pre-booked this hotel knowing that they had a bar area below the rooms, but had requested, if possible, not to be directly over the noisest part. We were shown to room, #10. This location did work out OK and was no real problem. There were a couple of weddings […] in the area, which added to it. My issue was with the room itself. Blackout curtains were listed on the web site as part of the room furishings. Our room had broken blinds that could not be closed. I understood that the hotel was full, so this was iwhy we were given this room. On the last day of our stay, I was able to see into several other rooms and saw that they all had blackout curtains and much nicer furniture as well. . We were the only Americans staying there, so got the feeling we were giving the lesser quility. I did take pictures. I should also mention that the hot water in one shower did not work at all, the toilet was broken and free flowing, and the light switch did not work in another bath. Coments in the guest log also reflected maintence issues. On the morning before our departure, I had asked the day managr to book a taxi for 5am the next morning, to go to the Intl. Airport, which he said he would do. He did not! I double checked that evening and the booking was done then, while I watched, otherwise we would have been in trouble the next morning trying to find a cab in this relatively remote part of the Rocks. Otherwise, the location suited our needs and the food that we did get was very good. I would still recommend this hotel, but for the money, I think it could be a bit better. Read more

Never having been to AU we went into this blindly. The location could not be beat... right @ the base of the bridge and within walking distance of the Opera House. Had a very comfortable common room where an adequate bkfst is out for you. The stairs are steep, but the 4 of us twix 68 and 86 years old did fine. We weren't expecting the baths to be down […] the hall, but with so few rooms it was not a problem @ all. The pub below is VERY lively and loud, but we enjoyed the ambiance as part of our adventure. We'd definitely recommend this Hotel. Read more

It suited us as we were getting on a ship the next day and it was walking distance. Great food and service. Would recommend it to family and friends.Enjoyed our stay.

I appreciate staying at resort styled accommodation however that cocoon like treatment removes the first hand experience of your surrounds. The Heritage although a bit "rustic" had provided a down to earth- people watching experience. Sydney is all about people watching. All the up hill walking around The Rocks was hard going for some one who lives […] on the planes. But the beers tasted even better after the climb. My aching muscles keep reminding me of a short yet memorable stay. Sydney - sider friendliness is an example to all. Read more

We enjoyed our stay in The Rocks area of Sydney. The Australian Hotel is a lovely heritage building that is certainly showing its age, but that adds to the character and charm. The guestrooms are up some fairly steep stairs so its not for the disabled. You need to carry up luggage as well. The food in the pub downstairs is terrific, the atmosphere is […] vibrant and the staff were very helpful. We would definitely recommend it, especially to those who enjoy history. Read more

Bathrooms needed some maintenance such as shower heads don't stay up whilst you are showering. Fridge in guest lounge was small and could'nt hold all that it was suposed to, let alone anything that a guest may have liked to up in it.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel is in an excellent location but it has been left to decay. Eveverything was falling apart. Paintwork, floor coverings, bedding , furniture and ornaments were all in need of replacing.It is a shame as it could be lovely with some thorough cleaning and redecorating. The noise from the pub underneath was deafening and the window could not even […] be closed.The breakfast was basic but did the job. Staff were hard to find especially in the morning hunt for butter.I did not get to have a meal in the hotel as the place was packed and no seats were available. Perhaps some consideration should be in place for residents. Read more

It was too noisy from outside in the late evening. Being tired aftre excursions it was impossible to have a rest till 1pm. Terrible!

Genuine Expedia guest review

For the price, it's pretty good - but the mattress on the bed is poor & gives you back ache. The staff do what they have to do without bending over backwards because it's relatively cheap compared to others. Not keen on sharing bathrooms but for the price you'd expect this. Great location, good place to lay your head each night because it saves you […] money on accommodation so you can spend it on things to do instead. Right in the heart of The Rocks area so handy to all transport hubs, ferry, bus, train, airport train etc. Read more

Access to upstairs accomodation via steep narrow stair case. Had to wait for buffet breakfast as the amount put out night before was not enough for all guests

Genuine Expedia guest review

Go for the experience and location, not for luxury. bathrooms and showers are shared between males and females down the hall and a small number of rooms on the second floor of a busy bar definitely put you back in pioneer days.

Top stay and in a very handy spot to stay for us to board the ship for a cruise the following day. Tv room and breaky was great too.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We came down to Sydney for a family wedding in the Rocks and had a wonderful time. The Australian Heritage hotel was just fantastic we extended our stay to play tourists, the pubs location was just perfect. Easy walk to everything and very quite at night. We loved the sitting room it was very old fashion & quaint, we enjoyed the help yourself breakfast […] and the nice touch of port for a night cap before bed.Our rooms were small but adequate & very clean. The pub has great beers & pizzas, what more could you want? Read more

Great location in a very old pub. Needs a fair bit of maintainance, but is very clean and comfortable. The staff are very friendly and helpful, This, combined with tthe location and ambience of the place, made it a great stay. If you want the modern sterile hotel, this is not for you.

Great for young people. The bar downstairs is really authentic Australian! Great area, close to the main tourist attractions. Super awesome value!

Great location for Bridge, Circular Quays and CBD. A pub, so noisy at night.

Genuine Expedia guest review

I was woken at 2am by other guests crashing about so much that my room was literally rattling. This went on for about an hour but given the drunken laughter I thought it safer to stay in my room, than engage with the people. There is no sound proofing at all in the hotel and they need to do something about guest behaviour or make the rooms more stable […] - a manager on site or more discussion about consideration of the other guests or something. Anything. I came out to breakfast - no bread, no butter, no coffee. Bread and butter remedied by a man who didn't even acknowledge my presence in the room. When I checked out I was not given any opportunity to discuss my stay, I was simply handed my key deposit back by someone more interested in setting up the tables outside. Read more

A beautiful historic hotel. We were very comfortable and the staff and service was top quality. Definitely will be staying here again.

Grubby and run down

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

pub-style accommodation - meaning shared bathroom facilities and shared self-serve breakfast area - don't sleep in too late or you might miss out on something. Window in room had no lock on it so would have been trivial for someone to break in (and no secure storage in the room either). Not a place to spend the day but for somewhere just to sleep it […] does the job. Read more

If you expect a hotel to provide clean sheets daily, a private bathroom and a luxurous breakfast, go elsewhere. If you expect it to provide a clean place to stay, a nice ground-floor pub/restaurant, well-maintained bathrooms, a basic breakfast and a friendly atmosphere, try the Australian! The pub has a lot of Australian beers, although they are on […] the expensive side. The kangaroo pizza is overpriced but probably worth it for the one-time experience. Read more

The hotel was in a really brilliant location in The Rocks area of Sydney. The room and overall feel of the hotel was very homely and the breakfast in the morning was good. It was convenient having a nice little pub downstairs that served great pizzas. The only downside were a few little things in our room. the bed was a little uncomfortable as it was […] a sheet of ply with a mattress on top that creaked really badly. the blind was also broken and couldn't be shut properly. Despite all this there were plently of shared bathroom facilities that were really clean and we would re-visit the hotel as it was really quirky and the location was just perfect. Read more

The hotel was quite nice, but the room was a little worn down. Staff was very friendly and service was overall excellent!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

A lovely quaint little place. The common room was good for chatting to other guests. Extremely cheap rates and breakfast included - basic but sufficient. Can be a little noisy but this was expected being above a pub. Clean but dusty (could do with a good spring clean and some of the age related damage issues sorted)- if you want the usual clinical/hospital […] cleanliness go elsewhere. Most of the staff were very friendly and helpful. Food in the pub was fantastic.Will definitely stay there again. Read more

If you want a shiny, sterile hotel, stay elswhere. For something with a bit of character, friendly, helpful staff and a very reasonable room rate considering the location, this is the place to stay. Sure, it may have needed a bit of fresh paint but it was clean and the bed was comfortable. That's all I needed. The quiet little lounge areas were a b […] onus. Read more

Ligger centralt, nära Circular Quay och Operahuset. Rent och sjukt trevlig personal på plats (med undantag från en person...). Mysig frukostplats, sköna sängar. Hyfsat hög ljudvolym från baskethallen som ligger tvärsöver vägen, dock inte mycket till ljud från puben/restaurangen i botten av hotellet. Rekommenderas!

Bodde där dom 2 sista nätterna på min semester.Charmigt äldre hotell med "mysig" lite äldre- men smakfullt inredning-speciellt det gemensamma vardags/frukost rummet, trevligt och hjälpsam personal. Det ligger mycket centralt- det tar ca 10min ner till "cirkular quay" och till färjorna. En pub på gautplanet-stundtalls hög ljudnivå, men stängdes vid 23-24 […] tiden. Read more

Hotellet var hyggeligt og lå godt, men ikke luksus.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Pub-hotell ovanför hamnen. Ingen AC var ett problem en dag när nattempen ute var närmare 40C men annars störde det inte alls. Enkel men ordentlig frukost och en schyst bar under som inte verkade ha så långa öppettider och därmed aldrig störde oss som var på semester-resa.

古いホテルなので、設備や備品類等仕方のない面もあり、まぁまぁ納得できました(バス、トイレが別なのは分かるにしても、洗面台ぐらいは部屋内にあっても良かったかな)。 １階が歴史あるバーなのでビール好きにはたまらないでしょう。反面、ネット環境は悪いです。接続は無料ですが、とにかく遅いし重い。特に夜の時間帯はひどいです。タイムアウトすることもしばしばでした。ホテルでネットを使って仕事をしようと思っている人にはお勧めできません。簡単なメールチェック程度ならましかも、というレベルです。

위치는 좋으나 너무나 오래된 호텔이어서 불편한 점이 많음. 욕실, 화장실이 공용이고 방에는 TV가 없으며 조식이 지나치게 단조로움. 호텔 관리자가 7시경에 출근하므로 early check-out이 어려울 수 있음. 호텔 직원들은 대체로 친절하였음. 특히 housekeepers! GOOD: Perfect location in the Rocks. Friendly staff (particularly housekeepers). BAD: Shared bathroom and no TV in the room. Breakfast is really simple and plain. Hotel managers say they come around […] 7AM - if you want to check-out before 7, you need to make sure whether it is possible. The bar downstairs may be annoying if you go to bed early. Read more

Estuve en este hotel 3 noches y sola, la habitación fue perfecta para mi y los baños compartidos estaban bastante comodos y limpios. El desayuno fue suficiente y la ubicación perfecta, puedes caminar a los puuntos importantes de la ciudad. Los puntos en contra que puedo mencionar es que el servicio a la habitación es simplemente hacer tu cama, lo que […] para mi no fue problema pero es solo eso y una de las cosas que mas me gusto fue el restaurant, preparan comida exquisita y tienen cervezas muy buenas! si te molesta el ruido en la noche este lugar te puede resultar incomodo.

Nice hotel and very friendly staff. I can warmly recommend the hotel. Music from downstairs was not too loud (and was supposed to end at midnight), however I fell asleep a way before that :) Bathrooms / showers are shared. They have two different wlans available, which were quite slow and other is not available 24/7.

위치가 좋아서 선택했는데 가격이 낮지 않은데 비해서 욕실을 공동으로 사용하게 되어 있어서 불편했습니다. 공동욕실인줄 알았으면 아침식사 포함되어 있었어도 선택 안했을꺼예요. 아래층 팝에 사람들이 너무 많아서 밤늦게까지 술마시고 춤추는 소음때문에.. 2시 넘어서야 조용해 졌습니다. 유흥을 원하는 분들이 가면 괜챦겠습니다.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Habour Brigde、Opera House、市の中心部、どこにも歩いて行けるとても便利なところです。スタッフもとても親切です。 100年ぐらいの歴史もある建物で、部屋の内装は相当古いです。エアコンはありません。滞在の初日、気温が34度もあり、辛かったです。幸い2日目以降、天気は涼しくなりました。1階はBarなので、夜中12時過ぎまで騒いています。早寝の人にはお勧めできません。

Heel sfeervol hotel op één van de beste locaties in Sydney, jammer genoeg werd één nacht verstoord door nachtlawaai van medegasten. Er werd hiervoor klacht ingediend en het management zou tegenover deze gasten in de toekomst hierover aanspraken, mochten zij nog eens kamers reserveren.
