Excellent and comfortable stay whilst visiting family in Marrickville. Super convenient next to the station, and so pleasantly surprised at how quiet the rooms were. We ate downstairs in teh bistro also, which has delicious food. Would definitely stay again.

Be great if there was a shelf in the shower- nowhere to put shampoos etc. wifi barely worked. And if there were light switches for the bed lamps, I certainly couldn’t find them
A good vibe to the hotel, great service and the dining in options are great! Bedrooms nice and clean, comfortable to stay in. Walking distance to local coffee shops and convenient stores.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The room was not the layout of what I had booked. Felt like a run of house small economy room rather than a deluxe queen, noting the bathroom was tiny obscure shaped wedged into the corner, and no shower door meant water was sprayed onto the toilet. Really disappointed noting there are no pictures of this room configuration, so it was not expected. The other reviews were deceiving, I won't stay here again.
Great location. Rooms are a good size, bathroom very clean. Wasn’t sure about the location above the pub and under the flight path. I had a great nights sleep, double glazed windows cut the outside noise significantly. Will stay again.
Really enjoyed watching the planes. No shops close by walking distance.
Loved the room and hotel was great. Was great distance to venue - factory theatre.
Overall enjoyable stay.
Excellent service and very clean facilities. Bed was super comfortable! Our only concern was that this hotel is not open like other hotels we’ve stayed at. When we arrived at 0930 due to our early flight in, the hotel was locked and they didn’t unlock until 1000, so we waited outside on curb for thirty minutes. When called the hotel from outside on the curb no one answered our call until around 0955. This is most likely due to our ignorance as we did arrive earlier than normal check in time.
Great short term stop, very clean, modern, friendly staff, food ok but room was smaller than pictured which was unfortunate as it was selected because of the perceived space, I had Room 3 a corner room on the building
Very comfortable beds, recently updated decor, very clean, friendly bar & dining. Great transport from Sydenham. Double glazed windows makes it very quiet.
My concern is that in the morning you put your key into the drop box but can not renter the hotel because the doors are locked. We forgot something in our room but couldn’t retrieve it. We also didn’t see a front desk just bars as we entered but were taken care of to check in. Room was clean and updated. Bed comfortable and very nice bathroom and towels.
The room was excellent, as was the pub which has been done up really well. The only negative I can possibly think of is the noise due to being on a busy street, however the room appears to be well soundproofed so it didn’t concern me and I’m a fairly light sleeper
Pub is great. Close to the airport. Because of flight issues I checked in the morning of my second day. They let me in right away at 9:15 am. Late check out available.
Friendly staff, lovely rooms and awesome location. Will definitely stay again.

For a noisy bustling pub the rooms are surprisingly quiet. The rooms are large and the bathrooms are brand new and very nice. The restaurant is enormous and popular and you can have anything sent up to your room. Tick.
I picked the location as it's close to clients and there are few other options in the area. Perhaps for a vacation the location would not be so ideal.
The only real negative was the room decor and furnishings. It's circa 1985. Faux suede quilted blanket on the bed, and dark teal being the colour of choice taken from the carpets and then co-ordinated throughout with a Schitts Creek Motel kind of vibe.

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

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.
