Hotel Harry - Surry Hills, New South Wales

Michael Von Reth

The pub is very popular, busy and in a good location. The prices are reasonable, the food on offer is nice and the staff ist friendly, customer focused and approachable. The only thing I have that bugs me is why the music is so loud in the dining area. A normal conversation is almost impossible. Maybe the volume could be turned down a bit in that particular area.

Watermelon margarita is a must try! Amazing ⭐️ The bar staff were nice and let me charge my phone behind the counter. I took a star off though for the state of the bathrooms. Looked like there was some kind of leak across the floor, and there was toilet paper all over the place.

Nice pub with a reasonable drink selection. However I felt sad for the lamb that was served up, oversalted, overcooked, tough as leather… what a waste of food that was left uneaten. Won’t be rushing back for a feed anytime soon. But I’ll grab a schooner.

For your health and safety, DO NOT book this “hotel”. I recently book this place through my company travel portal, which recommended me this hotel as the first suggestion around Surry Hills for 2-night.

This hotel has been the worst experience of my life. The number of issues upon arrival:
- The bar and restaurant downstairs, that you have to sign an agreement waiver upon arrival that you will accept the noise.
- The dirty and ancient lobby, hallways and general environment.
- The horrible scent the whole hotel floor had, that stayed on my clothes throughout the day after I left.

Then leading into the room, the state of the room was horrific:
- Again the scent migrated into the room.
- A door without adequate security measures, noting my door only had the handle to secure access with no additional locks. Where other guests may easily break in if they choose to.
- The chain lock was removed, which is an extreme concern for a solo female traveler.
- The mold-covered shower head has no light inside the shower area. See pictures, it was inexcusable how this room is offered as a viable hotel room.
- The sink that was clogged. I washed my hands immediately after walking through the hotel, and the sink drain was blocked. I could no longer use the sink at that point.
- The uncomfortable bed and lack of airflow in the room.

I did end up staying one night and immediately checking out the morning as it was too late and difficult to migrate at the time. During the night, I could not sleep due to the security concern that my room could be easily breached, even with my attempted to block the doorway with a chair and towels to secure the handle.

The lady at checkout was very sincere and polite in my response when I explained my reasoning for an early checkout.

Please see the pictures and let that judge for yourself if you would be willing to book here.

UPDATE: the hotel did contact me after my stay and was very open and sincere in my feedback, which I do appreciate very much!

Utterly incompetent staff. Gave me a key that doesn't work three times during my 2 night stay, which meant that I had to go up and down the slowest elevator 5 times just get into my room.
The rooms are also very dusty and doesn't seem like they were properly cleaned. I was scared of my stuff or my bare feet touching the floor... Good location but so dusty and the hallways have weird smell

Cutest room; super clean and with everything you could want. Great location in the heart of Sydney CBD. Staff are lovely and so helpful. Couldn't recommend more

P.s. Do bring earplugs as it's a lively hotel and area 🙂

Went for a casual drink and a burger on a Wednesday during happy hour.

Good service, the $10 burger and fries was incredible value for the money.. can hardly get a burger and fries at Mc Donald for that price these days, very impressed!

Harrys turned out to be a unexpectedly pleasant surprise for our brief visit to Sydney - lovely and friendly service, comfortable and clean room and great food! The building, décor, atmosphere all contribute to a wonderfully characteristic venue that is great to see still available when all else out there is your standard "cookie-cutter" accommodation. We will be back!
