Quaint accommodations - bedroom was very small, but very clean. Bathroom roomy and nicely appointed. Within walking distance of so many things in the CBD and a good choice for cruisers, as it's about 5-10 minutes walk to the Overseas Passengers Terminal. No noise from bar at night. Brew was fairly good, but it lacks body and is too thin,... More

We stayed for a week in Jan-Feb while attending a conference at Sydney Convention Centre. We didn't want to pay Darling Harbour prices. This was a great alternative. While the rooms are a little small they are quiet even though it is above an excellent pub. The pub closes at 10pm so even on the busiest nights we slept soundly.... More

We had a lovely 3 night stay here, having found the hotel on Trip Advisor. I like drink or three so staying in a brewery seemed like a good idea. We booked via the hotels' own website with an email and decided to opt for an en suite room. We managed to find it using the street map we'd got... More

Stayed at the Lord Nelson Brewery Hotel for two nights just after New Year. Finding a place in Sydney had been challenging, with plenty of minimum stay requirements around that time and sky-high prices. Only 10 minutes walk from Circular Quay and at AUS$190 a night not as expensive as many other places around, I wasn't totally confident as we... More

My wife and I spent four nights in this neat place. The location is fantastic, just about three blocks from Circular Quay. The few rooms are part (really a secondary part) to a bar and restaurant; its local clientele add ambiance to the experience. Although the rooms are small, old, and up steep stairs, we had no complaints (except we... More

We had 2 rooms for 4 nights (2 couples) - - - our first visit to Sydney (a fabulous city by the way). The hotel was ideally located in the historic "Rocks" area within walking distance of the circular quay, opera house, the bridge and countless restaurants and shops. The hotel has it's own very popular pub and brewery with... More

Fabulously located near The Rocks, this iconic Brewery and Hotel is known as Sydney's oldest hotel and is beautifully maintained. Within walking distance to the busy but beautiful Rocks area, Harbour Bridge, Observatory Hill Park, Circular Quay and another Sydney institution, the Hero of Waterloo. Not only were the pints of beer and cider welcomed after a bus ride from... More

The Lord Nelson Hotel and Brewery is located on the Rocks in Sydney. The location is ten stars by itself. The hotel is part of a facility that includes a bar and restaurant, the brewery, and a limited amount of hotel rooms. Since this was our second stay, we knew that room 201 included an ensuite bathroom and had lots... More

The Lord Nelson Brewery Hotel proved to be an ideal place for us to spend Dec. 23rd and Christmas Eve. 2011. It is located in the historic "Rocks" of Sydney, AU., and is within walking distance of Circular Quay, Darling Harbor, Chinatown, and most of the CBD. Registration takes place on the second floor where the restaurant is also located.... More
