Nice place to stay but can get noisy.
Nice place to stay and very conveniently located near to Darling Harbour. But room is a bit dated, especially the bathroom and place can get noisy even late into the night.

Clean and comfortable. If you are noise sensitive, take earplugs. Road is very busy and whilst the music in the pub wasn’t overly loud, you will hear it. Food and drink very reasonable price and tasty. Fantastic service.

3mins walk to ICC. Room is clean but look much smaller than pictures, a bit of noisey before midnight due to the bar understair. Bar ordered food is average. Staff are friendly and helfpful.

Great location, friendly staff. Good value. The building doesn't open until 11:00am, so if you get there early don't expect to be able to leave your luggage. We got there at 10:30am, and fortunately an employee was inside and even though doors were locked, let us into the pub to leave our bags while we wandered the city. Also, don't expect a late checkout. Checkout is 10:00am, and about 9:55 housekeeping knocked on our door to see if we were leaving. We were in the midst of packing, and I asked if we could have until 10:15 to which he replied, "No." The breakfast is very basic: toast, cereal, milk, juice, coffee, tea. It is convenient as it is on the same floor as the rooms.

Our initial reaction to this hotel was negative to say the least. Mark received us politely & carried our suitcases up the stairs to our room, but we were so disappointed with the facilities. We were staying at the Glasgow Arms for 7 nights, but it was the middle week of our 2 month holiday so we had quite a bit of luggage and clothes, so to only have a rail & 6 coat hangers (no wardrobes) was a problem! But after the initial disappointment we soon warmed to the place. The food in the pub is excellent & varied. The staff are friendly and efficient. The drink prices are very reasonable and the location is great for both Darling Harbour and the fabulous Chinatown. So thank you Mark, Jonno & the team for looking after us so well.
