The choice of hot porridge with a luxuriously rich mix of stewed fruit from the breakfast menu was such a delight during my winter stay. I'm not sure what local kitchen this is ordered from but keep it coming. Delicious! Room had the most glorious uninterrupted views across Sydney Harbour however in general the decor and bathroom needs updating which would literally grow the spaces 1000 percent. Also, this goes for every hotel/motel style accommodation where I've stayed . . . .. and that is hooks, hooks and more clothing hooks and/or places to hang towels, clothing etc.. in the bathroom or elsewhere. A folding luggage rack wouldn't go astray either, even if it is something that can be requested during or prior to a stay. This property is in a fun, village-like location and the staff were lovely and super helpful but it's the little extras that would take the experience to another level.

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.

I travel often and I don't believe I have ever come across such a wonderful staff. Everyone for the people at the front desk to the service staff were lovely people. They really made me want to come back for another stay. The rooms were clean and well serviced. The area around was very nice with many restaurants and coffee shops, and they to were filled with some of the nicest people i have encounter while traveling. I would strongly recommend staying here.

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.
