The Shakespeare hotel is an amazing place to stay, not just for the beautiful interior but for the friendly and accommodating staff, and the great food and music downstairs. My boyfriend and I had an amazing trip and have even re-booked for our next stay. Thank you again to the staff at Shakespeare you are all amazing

Great location and easy to find your way around Sydney CBD.
Noisy until 12pm (unbearably loud) and the room is musky, dated, and spartan.

‘Heritage’ means completely unrenovated and in dire need of redecoration and repair. Fortunately the bed was very comfortable, the room quiet and plenty of hot water in the shared bathroom. It’s a great pub by the way, including really good food.

Decent property as advertised for a very reasonable price. Nice to stay somewhere with a bit of life downstairs in the pub.

No TV, only a small computer monitor. No TV reception and the facilities (shower/toilets) were falling apart.

Quirky and quaint, it had everything I needed. Room was dusty and carpet not hoovered in corners. It reminded me of share houses I’ve lived in. If you like the patina of peeling wallpaper and the spooky feeling that things might fall apart the Shakey lives up to its nickname. Creaky doors and floors and bad works of art complete the grunge setting.

Made a big mistake with the date I booked but when I arrived they luckily had a spare room & adjusted my stay at no extra cost for which I’m incredibly grateful. Classic old style pub & hotel & the bed was comfortable.

This is an old Sydney pub, you will be sharing a bathroom/toilets & climbing stairs etc.
We loved it!
The room was clean & comfortable. The toilets & bathroom was clean & well stocked with paper towels & soap. Meals were excellent & staff very friendly & accomodating. It's close to the City & walking distance to the SCG. We'll stay again 😊
Staff and environment was really nice. The beds are shocking though.

The Shakespeare
Another visit and happy to stay again in future. Comfortable bed, great location and the Saturday night noise wasn’t a bother at all.
Bathroom needs work, but it’s all about the hot water and it didn’t run out!
