Very Good

‘Heritage’ means completely unrenovated and in dire need of redecoration and repair. Fortunately the bed was very comfortable, the room quiet and plenty of hot water in the shared bathroom. It’s a great pub by the way, including really good food.
No TV, only a small computer monitor. No TV reception and the facilities (shower/toilets) were falling apart.

Quirky and quaint, it had everything I needed. Room was dusty and carpet not hoovered in corners. It reminded me of share houses I’ve lived in. If you like the patina of peeling wallpaper and the spooky feeling that things might fall apart the Shakey lives up to its nickname. Creaky doors and floors and bad works of art complete the grunge setting.
You get what you pay for. We were more than happy with value for money.

Made a big mistake with the date I booked but when I arrived they luckily had a spare room & adjusted my stay at no extra cost for which I’m incredibly grateful. Classic old style pub & hotel & the bed was comfortable.
This is an old Sydney pub, you will be sharing a bathroom/toilets & climbing stairs etc.
We loved it!
The room was clean & comfortable. The toilets & bathroom was clean & well stocked with paper towels & soap. Meals were excellent & staff very friendly & accomodating. It's close to the City & walking distance to the SCG. We'll stay again 😊
Another visit and happy to stay again in future. Comfortable bed, great location and the Saturday night noise wasn’t a bother at all.
Bathroom needs work, but it’s all about the hot water and it didn’t run out!
