This is in a good location in Sydney and a very cheap price, note the bathrooms are shared which was ok for me. Good for those who want a roof over their heads and nothing more. I would stay here again, the pub downstairs has a good happy hour and dinner specials every night

The hotel doesn’t really have a reception so be aware when checking in. We had to go to the bar to find someone which is slightly unusual. Even though it is above a bar it was quiet and did have a lift. There was also luggage storage which was great.

Great location and a very charming building and pub. Staff were friendly and professional, also we were able to store our bags after check out so we could get out & about before heading to the airport. Good value for money.
If I stay again I would just bring some ear plugs as the street can be quite noisy throughout the night (not from patrons but vehicles etc).

Central location. Good value. Staff were helpful. Main downside is the street noise. This is an old building with poorly sealed single glazed windows in a busy area day and night. If you can live with that then i would recommend.
spotless rooms, amazing water pressure, friendly bar staff, easy sign in and out process, in a very accessible place. will be coming back.

Room a bit spartan and carpet a bit threadbare but all very clean and lovely bathroom. Kettle was a big plus and there was also a microwave and fridge with milk for our tea. Very convenient for Wynyard station trains to Circular Quay and direct to Airport. Easy with luggage.
Clean and spacious room, with everything you could need. Shared facilities were spotless throughout the stay. And despite there being a bar on the ground floor, I was never disturbed by the noise.
Great place to stay. Bathrooms shared and clean. Room clean. Staff friendly. Held our bags before checkin so we could wander. Easy checkout. There will be noise because it's above a pub. AC was great white noise. Great location as a jump spot for touristy things. Reasonable price. Expect these things and it's a 5 star experience.
Staff were friendly, entry is through a bar - awkward when you are travelling with young children at night. Black mould in the shared showers. Room was clean and the location was very good.
The room was spacious and clean. The shared bathroom was always clean. Tea & coffee in the room was nice to have. We arrived on January 1st (holiday) & the bar (where we were to check in) was closed. No clear communication how to check in on a holiday. There was a phone # on the door that we were able to contact someone & we got let in. The staff were great - very friendly.

Room was clean, staff friendly, beds comfortable. A lot of street and people noise.
Room was very clean & staff helpful. Tea & coffee provided. Room was a bit tired but served its purpose for the CBD of Sydney. The Occidental is a Very busy pub.
All good. Friendly staff, centre location. We expected it not to be new, this is an old hotel with minimal service.
Maybe check AC, it buzzes when pump is working
