Although the room was a little small; everything about it was excellent. Bed was comfortable, shower was perfect and our stay included a superb breakfast. All of our conversations and inquiries with all the staff were thorough and professional. Location was great with easy access to Darling harbor. Definitely recommended.

I had booked the hotel as a treat for my husband, as he likes old buildings. I was very disappointed about my stay at Hotel Woolstore 1888.
The receptionist was disinterested, not welcoming at all and sullen. The room small, but clean with no outlook.
The reception dark and gloomy.
On departure the reception member of staff was smiling, but sadly too late to alter my impression. The cleaning staff were very polite and helpful.
As we approached the hotel there was what looked like effluent on the pavement which was not cleared up for the duration of our stay, plus an old armchair dumped on the pavement.
Needless to say we will not be rebooking!

Great location, Easy transit
The hotel is in the base of Pyrmont, less than five minutes walk from Darling Harbour (cut through the car park slightly towards the bottom of the hill). The light rail and bus lines are also within five minutes walk. Breakfast in the onsite restaurant are phenomenal, and it’s worth trying once even if not included.

Quirky place inside but great staff and good rooms. Very well located with parking right across the road. Easy walk to Barangaroo and there is a metro station really close as well. Been there before and will return for any city stays.
