We had to book very last minute (midnight!) due to our airbnb not being sufficient. Fab, who was on reception for the night went above and beyond to ensure we felt comfortable after our recent experience and absolutely turned our night around! We got upgraded to the Showroom Suite which was phenomenal and not something we would have booked however moving forward it will be the room we book for our frequent Sydney trips. Thank you to the staff - great experience and stay. Very happy and grateful :)

New memories @ Old Clare
It was a lovely hotel - modern comfort and luxury in a deconstructed artchitecture that reveals the historical significance of the building and area. The stay was made more memorable because of the friendly services! Just a note - the shower room is all glass and for guests who want more privacy, that might be a concern.

This is my 5th or 6th time staying at The Old Clare. It is by far my favourite hotel in Sydney. Great location, friendly staff, rooms are spacious and of an impeccable standard.

Clever use of the building to create large open rooms and relaxing bathroom spaces. Rooftop bar was a highlight! Great for out of town visitors, a staycation for us - glad we did it but lacked warmth and an atmosphere.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Pretty underwhelmed by the hotel - felt a bit tired, my business partner found rubbish under the bed (clothing tags and labels), so missing a bit of attention to detail. The parking was a bit convoluted, provided a video link to find the entrance, but a map would have been much easier to follow that a 3 x speed video of a car driving.
