The Old Clare Hotel

We are a family of 3 (10 year old son). When making the booking required room for 3. It was a bit of a squeeze to say the least for 3 of us in asking bed! Mattress was too soft. Needed more pillows and HD to ask for a 3rd towel. Room was large and spacious and clean. Beautiful design and love the inclusion of its industrial past. Close to Spice Alley and Street eats. Would have liked to see greater catering for those with food allergies on menus. ( I am coeliac and cold not have anything on the menu).

Very pleasant stay. Staff were friendly and helpful at check in and the Valet parking was very convenient. Must make special mention of the bed. My Wife and I both commented that it was the most comfortable bed we had ever slept on.

A very cool hotel in a great part of the city with a terrific pool and excellent staff.

We had a nice stay at the Old Clare but I was a bit disappointed in the overall experience. Upon arrival we were told that there would be no room service available except for toast as the kitchen was closed (and would reopen next week.) It would have been nice to have known this sooner. We were highly recommended the rooftop bar, closing at 10pm too by staff.. however, when we tried to go up at 8:45 after rushing back from dinner out, it was also closed. For the amount of money you pay for a designy hotel, the finishings were disappointing in the room as well.

The Old Clare was a beautiful, unique hotel. Great location and the staff were very friendly. Defiantly will stay here again.

Great location, amazing staff. The only issue is that it is a little noisy before midnight but that's what you'd expect from anywhere so close to the action. See-through shower was a little weird.

Large room with high ceilings and many big windows, extremely large bath with separate soaking tub (always harder to find in a hotel these days). Absolutely LOVED this hotel. Out of the madness and crowds at The Rocks, yet close to the light rail to get there and to the Sydney Opera House. Very affordable for what you get. Super friendly staff, plus a dozen restaurants right outside your door.

This place is just gorgeous. We only got to stay for one night but we have plans of staying there again very soon for a longer period of time to not only take in what the hotel has to offer but also the food, culture and atmosphere around the hotel. Our room was delicious! Very modern, very boutique. Cant wait to get back there, I give it 2 very enthusiastic thumbs up!!!!

The staff were fantastic! Always smiling and willing to help. Our room was perfect and we wished we could stay longer. Fantastic position in the city.

I stayed in one of the Abercrombie rooms which was spacious and cosy at the same time. The bed was super comfy if you like a plush soft mattress. There’s a great little nespresso coffee machine and the bath is lush with great products from Triumph & Disaster. A1 Canteen is great for breakfast and if you’re heading out for dinner, make sure you visit Ester just around the corner. One of my favourite Sydney restaurants. My only negative is that the noise from the Kensington Street restaurants and bars is quite noisy. I had to get reception to send me up some earplugs, which they did so promptly. If you can, request a room on the Carlton St side or the back of the hotel.
