The Occidental Hotel offers a fantastic location, putting you a short five-minute walk from Australia Square and King Street Wharf. You can relax with a drink at one of the 2 bars/lounges, and the restaurant is the perfect spot to grab a bite to eat. Also, Pitt Street Mall and SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium are within a short 10-minute walk. Fellow travellers say great things about the comfortable beds and helpful staff. Public transportation is only a short walk: Wynyard Station is steps away and Martin Place Station is 7 minutes.

We enjoyed our stay. Unfortunately our Room 31 was a bit smelly. It was very clean. I don’t know if it was the ventilation or the fact that the hotel is old. All the staff were friendly and the room was comfortable.

Check in was difficult as we arrived early and there is no one there until three to check in. Wasn’t a major issue but as the hotel is a pub first and hotel second was difficult to get new towels and shampoo etc. however was clean room and staff did respond to any issues. Location is amazing and overall was a good place to stay
