The hotel was beautiful, spotless, and full of character, and the staff couldn’t have been more friendly or helpful. The free breakfast at TOCH was a highlight as it was delicious and worth every bit of the add-on (it was something we looked forward to each morning!). Our Connell room was fantastic, with super comfortable beds, lovely robes and slippers, and luxurious shower products that felt like a real treat. The location, just steps from Central Station, made exploring Sydney and beyond quick and easy. We also loved the Polaroid guest book; a thoughtful and charming touch that made the experience even more memorable. This hotel exceeded our expectations, and we’ll gladly stay here again on our next trip to Sydney! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d8a96f53-e87a-49f1-a8bd-e3108078602c-1757107047765.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6ef9393a-59bb-4038-b439-70e64e87ae00-1757107045287.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4f4add38-1313-4e64-8fb3-6cf93bb2687f-1757107047060.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/dbfa994d-7bc6-4259-916e-625e94e92fff-1757107047158.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Courtney Elizabeth Stayed 9 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Misa Sep 4, 2025 Liked: Staff & service Unfortunately we didn't dtay there because we made doublr booking but didn't reccognize it until the hotel staff contacted me the day after our chrck in date.

Some design elements quite dated and room basics like cupboards and carpets show wear and tear. Light switches and aircon control poorly located in the loft room that I booked. I was expecting luxury from the photos, but the reality felt like a 3~4 star hotel, not 5 star. ##### Peter Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marusha Apr 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities This hotel was beautiful.

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. ##### Nick Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kylie Feb 4, 2023 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very happy with the level of customer service.

Rooms were ok at best. For what we paid, we were expecting more. ##### Greg Stayed 1 night in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew Dec 30, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Hip, cool & central Excellent location - 6 mins walk to Central Station which connects to just about anywhere in Sydney via tram, train, bus or light rail. Despite the central location, this hotel has a rooftop pool! Awesome for a dip before heading into town. We walked to many places in Sydney - and an Uber back from Barangaroo took only 11 mins! The room was ver big and double glazing kept it relatively quiet inside. Lots of cool architecture and restaurants nearby. Thoroughly recommend for a short stay to explore Sydney. ##### Andrew Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Thomas Dec 22, 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Really poor hotel Honestly, this hotel is pretty rough. On the surface it looks nice enough, but during our three night stay we ran into a pretty large list of problems that demonstrate just how little the management care about the guest experience at the Old Clare. To be clear, all the staff we spoke to were friendly, polite and apologetic. This isn't a staff problem, but a management one. Here goes... 1) The room we were put in (101) has a terrible problem with traffic noise. Not just noise, but also deep vibrations from the large vehicles passing by on Broadway (one of the busiest, most 24/7 roads in the city). There was a limited effort at sound proofing in place, but the downside of that is that the windows couldn't be opened, which leads to issue number 2... 2) The place doesn't smell great. The lobby area smells of old cooking oil whilst the room smells of stale fast food and even light cigarette smoke. Without the ability to open windows, this isn't awesome. 3) The beds are genuinely the worst I've ever slept in. They are either extremely old and have lost all structure, or the hotel deliberately chose the softest, saggiest mattresses they could find. This will be subjective, but if a very very soft bed bothers you, you will definitely want to avoid this place. It was actually so bad that for the last night we threw in the towel and booked a cheap room at the Mercure next door just so we could sleep. ##### Thomas Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Steven Oct 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Spent 5 nights. Roof top bar and downstairs bar were closed for private parties on more nights than they were open to hotel guests. I enjoyed the variety of restaurants down a mostly pedestrian path adjacent to the hotel. Central Station is only 5 blocks away. ##### Steven Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marius Sep 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities If you are into designer boutique unique hotels this one is for you.
