Was disappointed that the property was listed as having breakfast, but in fact it was only room service that the attendant said he was happy to do but advised us to go over the road. Also the parking was full and we were sent up the road with no idea of the cost.

The Macleay Hotel is well-managed, staff are friendly & professional, and it's been a feature of Potts Pt for years. It offers everything a traveller needs, and everything in their rooms works - aircon, TV, frig, etc. This is surprisingly unusual in many mid-level hotels in Sydney now. No over-complicated & unreliable tech features (eg with aircon, TV) & kitchen area is well-stocked with glassware, crockery & cutlery. Great views of Sydney Harbour from harbour-facing rooms. Summary- old-fashioned service values, good-sized, clean & tasteful rooms where everything works, & great location make it my preferred place to stay in Sydney on visits.

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.
