Explore traditional and hotel pub accommodation across the Sydney region, with properties like The Australian Heritage Hotel in The Rocks and the Lakes Hotel in Rosebery. Options are available in locations including Manly, Surry Hills, and Penshurst.






A pub room is usually the best-value bed in town. You're paying for a clean room in a good spot, not for a lobby — and every one of the 17 Sydney pubs listed here is run by its publican. You enquire with them directly, so there are no booking fees and no commission built into the rate. Of the rooms we hold prices for, budget stays in Sydney start from $129 per night, averaging around $139.
The value is in what's downstairs, too. 8 of the 17 pubs serve meals on site, so dinner is a flight of stairs away rather than a drive. 3 of the 17 pubs have parking for guests.
9 of these are traditional pubs — rooms upstairs, bar and bistro below, usually right on the main street. The rooms are simple and priced to match. Some have an ensuite; others share a bathroom down the hall, the way pub rooms always have. Each listing says what's included, and the publican will tell you exactly what you're getting when you enquire.
