    “Loved the dining room, the vibe of the shared areas, and the exposed beams and industrial feel to the place. Was really lovely. The food was also fabulous - we had dinner there one night. Tapas type food, and a great shared experience with something for everyone.”

    “The hotel is across the road from the Harbourside Wilson Car Park (discount at front desk when you check in), a light rail station and an easy walk to Darling Harbour and the ICC. The rooms are very clean and quaint. The breakfast is excellent as you order off a menu and get 2 drinks included.”

  • Nice stay at the Woolshed
