"Get a taste of Colonial Sydney in the pretty rooms at this famous sandstone pub. The accommodation includes modern necessities such as dataports. Breakfast is included."
Time Out
"This old pub has kept up with the times – and the craft beer trend. The on-site brewery trades seven gorgeous gulps to serve every permutation of palate." Full review

If you’re after history, make sure you take a poke around picture- and plaque-laden sandstone walls.

"Two blocks north of the edgier, more sophisticated Medusa, on the southern boundary of Kings Cross, this property is more laid-back and better equipped than its sophisticated sibling Diamant Hotel." Full review
Rough Guide
"Fashionable place in an excellent location, with beautiful staff, slick service and great restaurants (including Asian ones) and cafés on the doorstep. $149."
