Macleay Hotel

Stayed here for the last night of our holiday, lovely clean room and staff welcoming. Paid extra for the harbour view and well worth it. Hope to return again at some point

We had a most enjoyable stay and welcome at the Macleay Hotel. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. We were over from England and if ever we return we will definitely stay at the Macleay Hotel.

It's at a great location and rooms are nice and clean. Zinc was amazing for breakie and The Fish Shop made for an excellent dinner. The trains are nearby so that was awesome. The bathroom needs a bit of a facelift, but it was exactly what we needed.

Nice location in Potts Point and very close to Kings Cross. Free WiFi though not secure so staff advised us to use the desktop computer in the lobby. Our room was small but had a kitchenette with a small fridge, microwave, toaster, kettle, 2 plate settings, glasses and a hot plate with pan/pots. No coffee maker but instant coffee and a French press. It worked but unusual. Price was reasonable for Sydney but hotel is dated. At the same it's clean and bathroom is recently updated. Outdoor pool with 5 lounge chairs. Didn't have time to spend time there. Stay here for the location (grocery store across street and close to train station and lots of restaurants. Staff are great.

Good location with plenty of food outlets nearby. Woolies is literally across the road and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Rooms are comfortable and beds are relatively comfy. There's occasional bumping and thumping from other surrounding rooms but it's bearable. Just a shame about the weather we're having at the moment, otherwise I'd speak more about the pool and outdoor area! Great little hotel and definitely a good deal.

Avoid. About as nice as a youth hostel. Crummy old rooms, WiFi doesn’t work, elevator key fobs don’t work, TV doesn’t work, old ugly furniture, bathroom looks like your granny’s. Just old and bad. We are staying one night and moving to another hotel tomorrow. Don’t stay here unless it’s an absurdly good deal.

It's a nice place to stay. 10 mins walk from king's cross station which is very well connected. To go to circular quay you need to change line though.

Supermarket just in front. Really convenient.

The staff here were amazing. Location is also hard to beat. Thank you for a great stay.

Room is a bit small but its fine, location is good and service is good. I would given this place 4 stars except I stayed here in winter, the AC temperature is unadjustable (it was cold) and on top of that the heater in my room was broken. Upon informing the front desk of this, I was responded with a smile saying they they didn't have a replacement heater. So... I guess I'll just sleep in the cold? That warranted a 2 star reduction down to one star for not fulfilling basic amenities.

It is very clean and family friendly. It is a bit smaller than in the pictures, but very very clean... Bathroom and bed sheets are all very clean and house keeping is very good... Recommend it for a place to sleep and carry out basic things

Good: Amazing views of city, walking distance to popular areas, great restaurants and night life.
Bad: $280 a night for double and single bed; mould in shower, bathroom and kitchen facilities old, dirty and outdated. Air-conditioning only had off/on switch - not variable or heater.

Great place to stay when visiting Sydney. Potts Point is were loads of restaurants are and the hotel is on the same road as the train station, which goes to Bondi beach and Sydney central every 15 minutes. The staff were really helpful and we would stay here again.

Just had a 6 night stay at the Macleay Hotel at Potts Point. On arrival spoke to Paolo who gave us maps and good advice for getting about the city. Our room (903) had a fantastic view over the bay. Well equipped room with everything we needed with washing machine and dryer on each floor which was very useful. Woolies just across the street which was handy for any odds and ends needed. Although a wee bit out of town there is a bus runs past the hotel to the city and Kings Cross train station, just a 5 minute walk away takes you to city. Well worth buying an Opal Card to get you about. You can use it on bus, train or ferries. However about 20 minute walk via Botanic Gardens to the Opera House is lovely if you're up to it. Lots of places to eat nearby. All in all a great place to stay.

Although the room itself was very nice, there were a few things on which I thought could be better. Firstly, the location of Mac lead hotel makes it very inaccessible with public transport making you rely on taxis to get around which wasn't very cost effective. Secondly, the view from the room was to the very close building accross the road making privacy only possible if you covered up the windows, perhaps you should be able to choose a room with a better view?
Lastlt, the entrance is a bit easy to miss.
