Why it's worth checking out

The Royal Exhibition Hotel sits on Chalmers Street in Surry Hills, one of Sydney's liveliest inner-city suburbs. With 867 reviews behind its 3.8 rating, it's a well-known local.

The appeal is a relaxed pub with accommodation and genuine character — a great spot for a beer, a feed and a bit of atmosphere, a much-loved local, with a stay attached, close to Central Station. Its Surry Hills location, close to the city, makes it an easy and welcoming destination.

Venue offerings, events, accommodation and trading hours shift over time, and it gets busy on weekends. If you're coming for a particular occasion, a stay or a night out, it's worth checking current details directly before you arrive.

Spot Score

The Spot Score is our composite of five signals — two about the venue's standing with visitors and three about how complete and current this listing is. It is not a visitor rating and not a verdict on the food or the experience. The 3.8 from 867 reviews is Google's visitor rating, shown separately and never altered by us.
