We would like to take this opportunity to thank the many wonderfull guests who have stayed with us over the past 5 years, especially those who were kind enough to voluntarily write such wonderful reviews on Tripadvisor.

Take a lovely early 20th century Victorian home, upgrade it with modern amenities without sacrificing style and ambiance, add a double-dose of personal hospitality complete with an encyclopedic knowledge of the area, throw in a daily culinary surprise that will make you wish breakfast could be served three times a day -- and you've got the Pompei B&B. Our host,... More

Only 15 minutes from the airport (~$35by cab) is this great B&B. Lovely airy quiet room with a spacious on-suite modern bathroom (only a shower), large lounge room & breakfast area, and only two guest rooms. Handy to Glebe or New Town. Breakfasts were wonderful, and Paul and Penny friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend. More

Get your dictionary out and look up the word hospitality. If it doesn't have a picture of Paul to illustrate the word, throw it out! Paul and Penny run this lovely Bed and Breakfast in their home in the historic district of Glebe. We stayed in the Verandah room which is very spacious and comfortable and although the bathroom is...

With only two rooms you are really spolit, with great fresh and unique breakfasts combined with tips from the host on where to... More

One of the highlights of staying in Sydney was actually our stay at Pompei Bed and Breakfast. Paul and Penny were the perfect hosts; answering all our questions, giving us valuable information, cooking delicious breakfasts:) It is conveniently situated close to public transport on Paramatta Road; about 15 minutes by bus to the city centre. We thank Paul and Penny... More

I was very disapointed to have my booking cancelled at the last minute. I orgaized the booking months in advace and then then emailed again to reconfirm and they said that they had given away my booking (without contacting me first). Now I am left days before leaving for Australia without a place to stay. More
