“Sydney's old clare”
Beside Spice Alley — great bars and restaurants, the central station walkable — The Old Clare by ODE Hotels is a fantastic beautiful-boutique stay: a spacious lovely stylish large room with every amenity and comfy beds, very nice friendly staff, good room service, a good breakfast and heritage conversion charm. Dissents though: an old building's weak soundproofing, a neighbouring bar parties late, plus a mildly run-down dusty rather-noisy verdict.
