It was a room for 3 people - the extra bed was taking up too much space for a single person so crowded room!

Excellent vistas

I feel like the room needed a deep clean - a thorough dust and vacuum around the edges and the window sills were dirty (black/mould on the aluminum frames). The bathroom shower is in an awkward position and if you are a larger person I think you would find it difficult to get in the shower. It is quite noisy. Our room was next to the lift so we could hear the lift every time it went up and down. The air conditioner is also VERY loud but does a good job at blocking out the lift and other patrons noises. It is very loud white noise though so if you are sensitive to noise I’d recommend taking ear plugs.

The hotel is in a great location, easy to access public transport and having a supermarket across the road was very convenient. The beds were comfortable and the kids loved the pool. They offer towels for the pool which is very handy as it is next to impossible to get anything dry in the room. It would be good if the room had a clothes horse for drying bathers, beach towels etc. Having car parking on site was one of the reasons I booked this hotel and we were able to park the whole time (although $30-$40 per day is expensive on top of the room charge, I understand this is probably in line with parking rates in Sydney). The car park is very small though so if you have a large vehicle I’m not sure you would be able to fit. We booked a harbour view room which was worth the extra money. The room was small so having the harbour view made it feel a bit more spacious.

Great location in Potts Point, easy stroll to cafes and bars, and a 10 minute walk to Kings Cross Station. The walk in to the city is pleasant and only takes about 30 minutes Our room was fitted out tastefully and provided plenty of power outlets, and a pretty decent kitchenette

No service elevator so cleaning staff block up the elevators during the day. They are very nice about it though.

Great location, helpful staff, nicely done rooms with great views

Lovely clean warm staffed hotel close to everything and had a great breakfast

We were there for NYE, but it was expensive. It's dated and smelt a bit funny...

Brilliant location! Could walk to the harbour and kings cross, plus lots of good coffee places and restaurants on the same street.

City view is stunning. Location is an escape in a quiet neighborhood with good dining options and quick public transportation anywhere in the city.

The bathroom had a small change in height to the bedroom, which I stumbled over first time entering the bathroom Remembered it after that, but perhaps a white strip or something to highlight the 'step' would have been beneficial.

Really great view, had marvellous Syndey skyline with the Bridge and opera house. The studio room was great with kitchenette, with a microwave and hotplate for cooking. Bathroom had nice walk in shower, and enjoyed the overhead rain showerhead. There was a supermarket across the street to easily get food supplies to cook our own breakfast, and also enjoyed breakfast at cafe on same street. (The hotel did offer a simple breakfast room service). The public transport in Sydney was great with a bus stop just outside the hotel.

On the 3rd floor at Macleay Hotel, the district view is limited to apartments, making it less ideal for those seeking scenic vistas. However, friendly staff can help you access the rooftop, offering a great opportunity for beautiful Instagram photos with a more expansive view.

Our stay at the Macleay Hotel was enhanced by the exceptional service from the front desk staff, particularly Mon. Mon's invaluable hints and suggestions made exploring Sydney a joy, with a scenic 30-minute walk from the hotel to the iconic Sydney Opera House. The hotel's central location, near shops and a bus stand, provided convenience, and a delightful 30-minute stroll through the Botanical Garden led to the ferry terminal, offering not only practicality but also beautiful views of the Sydney Opera House from different angles. I highly recommend the Macleay Hotel for its prime location, welcoming atmosphere, and the thoughtful assistance provided by Mon.

Little space.

The best part was public transportation. Overall my stay was very comfortable. Thank you :)

Room/carpet smelled musty and surfaces were dusty. Bed mattress too soft. Hotel and room in general is a bit outdated - needs a face lift for a 4 star hotel. Hotel parking is a bit pricey.

Great city view. Good location. Staff friendly. Has pool and parking. Room has good amenities - Microwave, kettle, fridge, stove etc. Was able to secure early check-in easily and concierge upgraded our room to have a view, which was nice.

The underground parking was too low for our vehicle, so we had to find an alternative park and walk with our luggage back to the hotel. This is pretty unusual for modern parking facilities. Many people drive SUVs these days.

It was a very good location. Convenient to shops, restaurants and local attractions. It only cost $27 to upgrade to a room with a harbor view. The harbor view from the window was lovely. Especially at night. We mostly were able to walk to the local attractions we wanted to visit. When we got tired it was only a short taxi ride back to the hotel.
