"Built in 1836, this boutique sandstone pub has a tidy set of upstairs rooms with exposed stone walls and dormer windows." Full review
DK Eyewitness "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.
Rough Guide Star
"Colonial-style B&B in a historic pub with 10 cosy, variably priced rooms: best is the corner room with views of Argyle St."
Fodor's "If your idea of heaven is sleeping above a pub that brews its own boutique beers (or ales, as they're rightly called) then this is the place." Full review
Frommer's "It's an attractive, three-story sandstone building with a busy pub on the ground floor, a good brasserie on the second, and hotel accommodations on the third." Full review

Rooms are open-plan with see-into showers (you can request a frosted one) and, in higher grades, great feature bathtubs.
Mr & Mrs Smith "The hotelier’s assurance can be seen in the daring integration of old (the former pub’s seedy band-room posters and the brewery’s urinals) and new: the world-class dining, buzzing bar." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "This is the first Australian hotel by stylish Singaporean hospitality player Unlisted Collection, and its two bold restaurants are a major draw." Full review
Time Out "Standard rooms are generously sized, with king beds, mid-century modern furniture and city views." Full review
Afar Magazine "The cornerstone of the future Kensington Street Precinct, at the heart of the funky Chippendale neighborhood, the Old Clare is the storied pub she used to be and so much more." Full review
Monocle "A thriving 69-room stopover with two attractive bars and two restaurants...the rooms are smart and include Triumph & Disaster amenities, bright prints from Sydney designer Eloise Rapp"
Lonely Planet "A 69-room hotel in a primo Chippendale location. Rooms are well back from noisy Broadway, high-ceilinged and easy on the eye, with artful bespoke details" Full review
