It's a great location, lovely scene. Staff were really lovely, taking on my last minute booking and getting me checked in. The room was good with a great view of the city, although the hot water took a while to turn on.

Harry’s is such a funky, unique hotel in Surry hills. So close to public transport and to the hussle and bustle but far enough away for it to be quite and cozy - a great place to come home to

Je recommande cette hotel.
L equipe de l Hotel Harry ont été très sympathiques. Toujours près à me rendre service. Prise en charge de réservation, conseils pour les visites.
L ambiance et la décoration de l hot le années 50 avec ambiance cubaine est vraiment dépaysante. J'ai adoré mon séjour :)

I enjoyed my stay - live music and dancing in the hotel and vibrant nightlife all around. Actual room was sub-par (on previous occasions, it has been much better). Bathroom tiles were literally mouldy on both walls and floor. Window sash was broken so almost took my head off when I opened it and it crashed shut. Shower was very hard to get right - boiling or freezing and wouldn't stay at set temp. while water pressure was really poor. Otherwise great. Comfy bed, pleasant staff, great food.

Ne aware it is a pub and some nights have loud music. If staying in there is no full tange of stations to watch. Good food and a great bar
Good location, very busy pub style restaurant, evenings,
rooms need an urgent upgrade, for the price !!!!!!!!

Friendly staff and very helpful, carried our bags up the stairs when the lift wasn’t big enough for us and them! Bed extremely comfortable (firm) but pillows a bit hard. Spotless rooms and quirky decor. If you love peace and quiet though bring your earplugs as hotel has music and is open until 3am

Was charged twice for the room as they couldn’t see my payment through this website. $150 room became a $300 room. Not happy about that at all.

Unfortunately, the room had a strong chemical odor (new carpeting I was told put in during the pandemic) and was also musty/mildewy. Left the following morning physically ill. The manager on duty tried to help, but he had no real options. If you have any sort of allergies, this is not the place for you.

Great location and cool bar downstairs, unfortunately everything else was a shambles. Sound travelled through the rooms so if you are staying on Fridays or Saturdays, dont expect to sleep until 2am. (No mention on Expedia listing of late night club).
The room was dusty and dated, bathroom drain a little smelly. Possibly preference but bed was uncomfortable, to soft with no support. No duvet cover, only sheets around the duvet which wasnt clean. I don't expect much for budget but this place didnt get any of the essentials right. Wouldn't stay again and personally think the rooms are not fit for purpose on club nights.
Note: cant fault staff, they were all friendly and respectful.
