You get value for money at the Horse and Jockey. Great location near Olympic Park and Homebush train station, the pub does good food, the bed was new and very comfortable, new TV, new aircon, the bathrooms are newly renovated. Good sized communal laundry with iron and ironing board is very handy.
My room was small, the fridge is communal, and there’s 2 male, 2 female and 1 unisex communal bathrooms. But as a solo traveller, it was an excellent option. Other rooms are bigger.
As a bonus, it is a beautiful building.
