Irish Pub Dining
The hotel is home to the longest-running Irish pub in Australia. The onsite restaurant serves Irish cuisine, daily food and drink specials, and a happy hour. Breakfast is available at the nearby '4 Doors Down' cafe. Popular dishes include the shamrock pie, steak and chips, and calamari. The pub also offers a selection of beers and wines.
Live Entertainment
The pub features regular live music, including traditional Irish bands, DJs, and drag queen performances. Guests can also enjoy evening entertainment, darts, and happy hour specials. Despite the lively pub downstairs, many guests find the accommodation quiet enough for sleep.

The hotel has safety features such as smoke detectors, CCTV, and a security alarm. The staff are noted for carrying luggage up the stairs and providing friendly assistance.
“The location here is truly exceptional, placing you right in the heart of things with an easy five-minute walk to Circular Quay. What struck me most was the remarkable value, especially considering the comfortable, clean rooms and the quality of the food served downstairs in the pub. It's a historic building with a welcoming atmosphere, making for an affordable and grounded stay.”
