Mark, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Room had obviously been remodeled recently and it was great! Also, you can come and go from the accomodation without having to go through the bistro/ bar. Very convenient location directly across from train station and close to variety of food outlets!

Andrea, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

SO quiet, even though rooms are above the pub, Sydenham station is opposite, and under flight path.
Julie, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

What an outstanding "Pub" room, felt more like a boutique hotel. Its a little pricey but well worth it.
Rebecca, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I thought a pub hotel would be loud & also the train station, but it was great, quiet, comfortable and convenient. I’d definitely recommend The General Gordon.
Thomas, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good bang for the buck. Not in a touristy area, Seemed like an authentic neighborhood with real Australians going about their business.
Thomas, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good room and nice new bathroom. Although it’s above a pub, on a Friday night it was still very quiet in the room. Friendly staff
Tanya, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room was beautiful, clean and comfortable. There was a balcony with a view and it was easy walking distance from a lot of facilities including a major train station. Staff were helpful, and there is a restaurant on site. Parking is limited, but there are options available that don't mean moving your car too often. It is very close to the airport, which is convenient, but noisy. We slept through it beautifully though.
Karina, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location, very convenient. Quiet inside, which is good because it is right under the flight zone. Outside it is almost deafening but inside I didn't even notice it. Food at the bistro downstairs is yummy. Lost of vegan options. No parking on site, but was able to find some in the nearby area. Not great during the day though as there is tight restrictions, best to leave the car home and catch the speedy train to Sydenham instead.
Katrina, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Clean and tidy
Barend, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

There is no one at check-in counter, no bell or no phone to catch the staff. We just needed to wait until someone notice. If you don’t have enough staff, you should put something which I can reach to the staff. Room was clean and nice tidy. Good point to having a choice of pillows. But there is no door for the bathroom…..
