Great place to eat and take in Sydney harbour from a different aspect. Walk through the nearby park. Paddle in the harbour or check the Gap site and its history.

Was first a little concerned about staying at the hotel due to noise, however I was pleasantly surprised that there is no noise at night. We had a two storey room, king bed on the first level and twin beds in the loft. The view was spectacular - overlooking the bridge and the opera house. The room was nicely decorated... More

Went for one night, we were not bothered by noise, perhaps as it was a Sunday. The room was very nice, recently renovated and very well done. The bathroom especially the shower was impressive. We did not have a view from the room but we hadn't planned sitting in the room so that was ok. We could not get into... More

We've just come back from a night in Sydney which we spent at the Watsons Bay Hotel. My husband warned me that I shouldn't expect too much, because this is a pub hotel. Well, I was pleasantly surprised. The room was spacious and I liked the decor, which is very functional. I love a hotel room that actually has enough... More

Scored a room at a great price so set off with high hopes...contrary to earlier reviews the room was very slick, modern, flat screen tv, king size bed, nice toiletries and view over Robertson Park. The hotel itself is very pleasant, right next to ferry and Doyles famous restaurant...the food in the beer garden was excellent as was the view... More

Stayed for one night recently and even though my cheaper parkside room did not have harbour views it was large, clean, well appointed and the famous Doyle's Seafood Restaurant is part of the complex. Just be aware that if you do book some of the more expensive harbour view rooms the bars and restaurants are directly below and if you... More

(1)We spent 28 dollars on 2 cocktails, which took about 30mins to make, then when we did recieve it the bartender went " this should be interesting as I have no idea what the other girl put... More

We stayed here for several nights with two young children. The loft room suited our family. The park next to the hotel has a good play area and the beach in front was good for paddling - Watsons Bay baths are only a few hundred metres down the road for a great swimming location. We found the pub food to... More

We booked 13 rooms for guests attending my daughter's wedding at a nearby venue. The reports back from all the other guests (including the happy couple) where that they loved their rooms and loved the location. My husband & I stayed in a corner king sized suite with both harbour and park views. Needless to say the view was beautiful.... More

Location is great I usually book a park view room although Harbour view rooms are excellent prob a little noisy during day only on the weekends as Harbour view look out over hotel courtyard but it does wrap up early. Good room service as well... More
