The Occidental Hotel is a great option for easy access to trains, buses and trams in the city centre. 2 tram stops from Circular Quay. Check-in was simple. My room was spacious and clean, my bed was comfortable and I was happy to have a private en-suite bathroom. I wasn't too happy with one blind that didn't move up or down or a half roll of toilet paper for my 2-night stay. Although the room had a toaster and microwave, no cutlery or plates were provided. The bar area was very busy on Friday and Saturday night.

Be aware this is on a very busy corner and it's quite noisy so bring earplugs. Bed was very comfortable and room was clean and satisfactory, as were shared baths. Good hot showers. Great option for staying close to the Rocks if you're on a budget and bring those earplugs!

Lovely old pub in an awesome location. Much better than most backpackers, but obviously not luxury accommodation.

Excellent location for an older style hotel, staff is very helpful. Just a little bit noisy at night because our room is close to the street. Advise install double glazing to improve.

Room was clean, but extremely noisy. No sound proofing whatever meant we could hear all external street noises and voices from neighbouring rooms.
