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 😊

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!

Old English "room above a pub"
I was solo traveling and thought this might be a fun 'guest room above the pub' experience - and it was. The hotel reflects the personality of the old English pub it rests above in decor and ambiance. The room was clean if 'ruffled' in decor, which is what one might expect from a pub. The bed was large, comfortable and very clean. The shared bathrooms could use some refreshing in the paint/tile/polish department but were serviceable. The rooms are on the third floor, so there is no noise I noticed from the pub below. The pub was fun and, again, what you might expect in a neighborhood English bar in vibe, food and drink. The staff were very friendly and helpful and made this a pleasant stay.
