Free Hi-speed WiFi in every room.

Ceiling fans, and large opening windows w/ fly screens in every room

There are six shared bathrooms for only seven rooms without ensuites, meaning you'll NEVER have to wait.

-IMPORTANT - Guests should be aware that currently - while we do have a kitchenettes for guests - the facilities are limited to toasters, microwaves and kettles. This is due to new council regulations regarding fire safety that do not allow us to offer stove/oven cooking facilities.

However, we are 5 minutes walk from Chinatown which offers the cheapest dining options in Sydney, and there is a picturesque cliff-top park one minute walk away that has free public barbecue/cooking facilities - and great sunset views!

Our restaurant serves affordable and delicious meals for lunch and dinner. Our ground floor public bar closes at midnight at the latest and is open 7 days. We offer a 15% discount on food and beverage for in-house guests

The hotel is not a hostel in the typical sense. There is not a large common area for guests to sit on beanbags and watch movies, however, the bar (and adjacent park) is a great place to relax and meet other guests and local people.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The Lord Wolseley Hotel is also one of the oldest and smallest pubs in Sydney and certainly one of the most original. It has operated non-stop since 1881. The hotel will appeal to people that appreciate basic, clean and spacious accommodation at a very affordable rate, located close to many local institutions. The hotel is ideal for a short stay in a very convenient location. The onsite bar is a great place to relax and meet other guests and local people. We also have some of Australia's best jazz musicians play in the park every Sunday afternoon. Conveniently located near Chinatown and Central Station (Sydney's main train station) in a quiet and leafy part of historic Ultimo, adjacent to a park. Darling Harbour is a 5 minute walk away and colourful Glebe, with its markets and cafes is a ten minute stroll. Also nearby are Surry Hills and Newtown; famous for nightlife, and cafes and restaurants. Once you have seen the major attractions our staff can give local advice that isn't in the guide books

RECEPTION OPENING HOURS:

Monday - Saturday : 11:30am - Midnight

Sunday: 11.30pm - 10pm

TRAVEL FROM AIRPORT TIPS:

Please note that outside of peak hour we are about $30 taxi from the airport.
Both airport shuttle buses and the train from the airport cost $16 per person, so it is not cost-effective to use these services unless you are traveling alone.

PLEASE BE AWARE; that because our reception closes at midnight (and 10pm on Sundays), if your flight lands within 1.5 hours of reception closing, you should definitely catch a taxi, as it will be cheaper than arranging a late check-in if you are late.
