For a budget choice the Macleay Hotel ticked all our needs. Clean, comfortable and central to our needs while visiting Sydney. Parking made easy. Front desk upgraded us to a better room. Not expensive but what a view across to the harbour bridge. I imagined what New Year’s Eve would be like from that vantage point. An experience that we’d repeat.

I'm extremely disappointed that the room I booked with a harbour bridge view wasn't provided. Despite paying for that specific room, I was given one without the view. To make matters worse, the bathroom lacks an exhaust fan. I've already complained to the reception, but they claim the hotel is fully booked. I believe I'm entitled to a rebate for not receiving the room I paid for.

This was my third stay. I will always return for the view, the staff service and the price. The area surrounding the hotel is terrific. No need to travel into Sydney's CBD, however, if you do need to visit the city, there are many options nearby. A bus out the front and 5 minute walk to Kind Cross station. The restaurants around the hotel are spectacular too. But that view! 180 degree view from the harbour Bridge to the Heads. Love this place!

We booked a harbour view which we got. Our room was a fold out bed,I booked a Queen bed it was lucky to be a double, a camping hot plate as the kitchen stove and a shower door that didn’t close. We were near the washing machines and there is no restriction on when they can be used or first night they operated till 2am.My sister room same price was 5 star on the same floor
