We stayed here in February and the hotel is a gorgeous blend of art deco and industrial stylings. We were greeted with a warm welcome and were able to check into our room early.The room itself was spacious and comfortable with the biggest bed I've ever slept in. Highly recommend the Abercrombie rooms for the freestanding bath! Our only awkwardness was over the glass door on the toilet that faced the bed so we had to fashion a modesty shroud to hang on the door.Breakfast was available to be delivered either to the room or to the rooftop pool, which was very decadent and totally delicious and the bar downstairs serves a great selection of drinks.100% would recommend and stay again.

A different type of accommodation. High ceilings, timber flooring, and very open plan design. The bath in our room was adjacent to our bed, the handbasin also in the open plan. Toilet and shower was also only separated by frosted doors. Although we were overlooking Spice Alley noise was minimal, and the rooftop bar was lovely. Handy to everything for us this trip.

A solid pub venue, good array of tap beers, does some nice pub food classics, lounge like area inside with semi circular booths and other comfy seating, outside is set up to watch the passing inner city parade streaming past. Great spot to catch-up before or after spice alley which is right next door.

Similar to other reviews here: not 5-star service. Room not serviced despite being out of it between 10am and 2pm; no room service available at 11pm despite website stating that it was 24/7; when we did order room service it took over an hour (we directed them to comp this, which they did so). Dirty glassware and plates left outside room all day. No bathroom in lobby except for that attached to the bar, and it was disgusting. At the price we paid, we should've just stayed at a big chain in Darling Harbour.

I’m not one to complain but this warranted a review. Really poor stay. Wouldn’t go back - Rooms untidy and dirty. Covered in dust, rubbish left on the floors. Bathrooms not scrubbed and vacuum non existent. (Run your finger over the skirtings, ornaments and take a look under the bed if you don’t believe me). Cleaners each day were just making the bed and changing the towels. No sheets changed either which I thought was odd for a 5-star hotel. Spoke to reception about the room cleanliness on two occasions. One time they sent up the same cleaner from earlier that day to our room at 7:30pm… when my partner was in the shower… he asked to come in and “clean” in an aggressive manner… at 7:30pm?? He seemed angry that I’d called reception about the state of the room. Nonetheless it was odd that reception would then send him up to our room at that time of the night to “clean” it again? Management, shocking.Food and drink 5/10. Coffee was good though. Overpriced stay for what you get. 100% should not be classed as 5-star hotel. Bar downstairs not operational, bathrooms out of order. Needs a real lift

The Old Clare used to be one of my favourite places to grab a drink. The bar staff used to be so friendly and welcoming. The last few times I’ve been the guys behind the bar don’t even say hi what can I get you. They just look at you, with almost annoyance that you’re there.

Specifically asked for a quiet wing, because of restaurants below. They booked a wedding in the suite directly across my room. Reception still maintained it was indeed the quietest room in the hotel…except there was a wedding till 11pm….not cool. How any hotel could book a wedding reception smack bang in the middle of guest rooms is beyond me. 6 weddings that day, never again.

We had the absolute best stay at The Old Clare. The hotel is beautiful, the staff is friendly, and the location was perfect for our first time in Sydney. There are so many great restaurants and bars within steps of the hotel, and the food and drinks at the hotel were also fantastic.

The Old Clare has lost its charm. Removed all the mismatched mid century, extremely comfortable chairs for cookie cutter furniture. And their cocktail ingredient list is lackluster. They weren't able to make classic cocktails with their stock. Off it to be honest
