Great unique boutique hotel, loved the comfy plush bed! Loved the room layout! Loved everything - location was aces- only problem I saw was when I dropped something and had to look under the bed- it was caked in dust! If you guys clean under your beds you’d be epic - I’d have given five stars for cleanliness then!

We absolutely loved our stay at the Old Clare! The hotel was beautiful, spotless, and full of character, and the staff couldn’t have been more friendly or helpful. The free breakfast at TOCH was a highlight as it was delicious and worth every bit of the add-on (it was something we looked forward to each morning!). Our Connell room was fantastic, with super comfortable beds, lovely robes and slippers, and luxurious shower products that felt like a real treat. The location, just steps from Central Station, made exploring Sydney and beyond quick and easy. We also loved the Polaroid guest book; a thoughtful and charming touch that made the experience even more memorable. This hotel exceeded our expectations, and we’ll gladly stay here again on our next trip to Sydney!

Boutique hotel that's only 10 years old but already showing it's age. Some design elements quite dated and room basics like cupboards and carpets show wear and tear. Light switches and aircon control poorly located in the loft room that I booked. I was expecting luxury from the photos, but the reality felt like a 3~4 star hotel, not 5 star.
