Honestly, this place was terrible. In a sense it was little more than a sports bar, a pokies room,…read moreand a bistro tacked on. Then again I suspect that is what most pubs are supposed to be. Still, that doesn't forgive this place for being so terrible, and so tacky. When it comes to beer the selection is so limited that I have a choice between the bad, and the worse. As for atmosphere, well, you can probably work that out pretty quicky. Hey, even if you live in the area, I'd recommend avoiding this place - there are actually better places nearby.

My first time here ..... just investigating ..... and so far I like what I see !! ..... This Hotel…read morehas lots of space ..... modern ..... Tidy ...... food passing by looks great and the service friendly. I have to admit .... I love the HUGE sports screen that can be seen from anywhere in the Hotel. It's close to the train station .... so easy to enjoy a few drinks without worrying about driving. I will be coming back at some point to try the food and will update this review once tasted and enjoyed. In ending .... Hurstville has so much on offer ..... and now another to add to a long list.

This is another railway pub, but then again Sydney seems to be replete with railway pubs, namely…read morepubs that I pretty much across the road from the railway station. Look, thought that this was a nice pub, but I can't necessarily say that it was a great pub. I guess the lack of choices of beer on tap does have that effect upon me. Maybe I'm just a little too fussy in that regards. Still, this place wasn't too bad.

This hotel is a hidden gem, I didn't expect the hotel to be so nice inside. The staff were very…read morehelpful the hotel was affordable and comfy.

Whoever thought an old pub could make for party space? My cousin had her 21st in the upstairs…read morefunction room, and I was very, very surprised at how good the place looked. From the outside it looks like just your local run-of-the-mill pub. Upstairs was a very different story. Forget drinks in the city where you end up meeting and greeting your entire facebook list, bring a couple hundred of your closest friends and family to this place. The place is so big it can easily hold that many. There's a separate room at the back to keep all your family's embarrassing antics hidden away, a lounging area with a main bar (with access to the pokies room), and a huge dance floor area with room for all your hired DJ equipment. It's all newly renovated and in perfect condition for you and your friends to make as much noise as you want into the early hours of the morning.

Honestly, this pub really didn't turn out to be all that great, but then again I probably shouldn't…read morehave expected all that much considering that it is basically a suburban pub. Sure, it does look like it has been around for a while, and it certainly has its regulars, however while the service wasn't too bad, the selection of beers on tap was, well, quite limited. Oh, and the aroma coming from the bistro was particularly strong.

Where do you go for a guaranteed feed on a public holiday when everything else is closed? Well…read moreHurstville of course. The suburb that treats everyday as business as usual. Specifically this Easter long weekend I visited the Meridian twice. With no surcharge and meals that are sometimes served faster than it takes you to get your sauces lined up and find yourself a table to sit on this place is really great for public holiday feeds. Did I mention the pho is only $8.50 as well? Normally you'd need to drive out further west for those kinda prices. So next time you're hungry on a public holiday why not take a trip down to the Meridian. Your growling stomach will thank you.

Now, this is one of those pubs that I could spend quite a lot of time at if I happened to live in…read morethe area that is. I guess the porch really did it for me - one of those newer pubs that deliberately created a porch where patrons could sit at with a beer in hand and either chat, or read a book if they are like me. The other thing is that they also had a decent selection of beers on tap, and that is always going to win me over.

Wow, how did I not know about this before? Oh right, because it's in Arncliffe! Came here with my…read morehockey team after a game because it's close to the turf. I was blown away by the size of the venue - massive, cozy, different styles of seating including round booths perfect for larger groups, fireplace, 2 kitchens (one for wood-fired food such as burgers and pizza and roast chicken and one normal kitchen). Could fit couple hundred of people?! Also impressive was the food. Crispy buffalo wings made with Frank's hot sauce (super legit!), massive chicken parmis smothered in melted cheese, great burgers. I got the 1/2 Portuguese chicken with peri peri sauce... DELICIOUS! Plus, the prices were definitely lower than Sydney prices but I guess it's more in the suburbs. For dessert I ordered the sticky date pudding. It wasn't the best, but the vanilla ice cream made up for that :) We'll be back! Looking forward to eating my way through the menu.

We booked a room online and went to check in. Staff had no idea we were coming, took 20 minutes to…read moreget us a key and tried to slug us a $100 key deposit. When we got to the room, it looked dirty. This was confirmed when we saw the state of the bathroom, like someone had thrown Jif on the shower, a toilet seat that wasn't affixed to the toilet and bare electrical cables in the bathroom. In the bedside draws we found other peoples clothes and a booking slip from September with a previous guests personal details. Clearly hadn't been cleaned in a long time. Where the TV was supposed to be, there was a dirty steak knife and a bunch of screws, along with a variety of dead bugs. The 24 hour secure parking is in fact not fenced, not secure and is covered in signs sayings 'park at your own risk'. Checkout isn't any better, we packed up and went to hand the key back at 830am. Only to discover that no staff are there until 10am. An hour and a half of our time in Sydney spent waiting to hand the key back. Do yourself a favour. Don't stay here. Your car has better amenities, it's cleaner and probably safer too. Save your money and go out for a nice steak dinner.
