Brett's a welcoming host, honest about the accommodation you can expect, which is basically an old inner Sydney hotel in need of a bit of renovation. True, the bathroom is top of the list for a good make-over, but the room, while old and lacking air-conditioning (it was pretty hot the week I stayed), was actually large, clean and with a decent comfortable bed. Redfern is a very convenient spot to stay and the price is about as low as it gets in Sydney. Finally, the pub itself is a great little place, and the burgers are as good as everyone else has already said.
