First time staying in Potts Point but chose this hotel randomly as it was close to where we needed to be for a party Saturday evening. Turned out to be a great choice. On site parking, lovely reception staff (and the room was ready so an early checkin) and a decent room with a glimpse of the city through the maple leaves outside the window. Potts is a small suburb, but the hotel is pretty much at the heart of it. A great deli and cafe almost opposite the hotel. We’ll certainly stay again.

There were 2 beds in our room. 1 was rock hard and the 2nd so soft you sunk into it. The parking was very tight and limited and we were there on a Wednesday. Susan at reception was super helpful.

This property does not have a restaurant or gym on site. There is a grocery store, conveniently located across the street that we found very nice. There are several restaurants in easy walking distance, but we had a hard time finding food we like.

Good Choice
The staff on reception are a credit to the hotel. I was so happy to be given a map, details of public transport and restaurant info all on paper. During my trip I was tired of being directed to an app or to scan a QR code. The receptionists took time to ask about my day and enjoyment. The hotel is about 10 minutes steady walk from Kings Cross train station and there is a bus stop literally at the front door. It's a pleasant walk down to the Botanic Gardens which leads onto the Opera House and Circular Quay, I was lucky enough to be allocated a Harbour Bridge view room which was amazing. The apartment had ample crockery and cutlery. I only really used it for breakfast so the kettle, toaster and hotplate were all I needed. There is a laundry on every floor for use of the guests. The decor is probably becoming a bit dated, but the service. cleanliness location and views more than make up for this

Unfavorable experience
Stayed at the Macleay Hotel for a week during Vivid. Decided to stay here since the rating was pretty good according to hotels.com site - 8.6 The was the worst hotel I have ever stayed in and these are my reasons why: 1. The room smelled like mildew. We ended up buying Air freshener to make the smell better. 2. After getting the room cleaned, no extra toilet paper was given. When calling to ask if someone could bring up a roll, front desk told me I had to come down and get it myself. 3. Construction was being done on the floor below us around 7:15 am. When talking to the front desk about it, the manager was not apologetic (the first day). Later that evening, I asked the front desk to check if any construction would be going on and the person said no. We were woken up the next morning to a hammer pounding. We recorded it and went down to the front desk to let them hear what we were experiencing. It was then that the manager apologized and comp’d us for the 2 days. My family and I felt like we were catfished in thinking this was a great hotel to stay. I hope others that stay here will have a much better experience than we did.
