It’s a cute, older style property with some renovations. Very clean and had friendly professional staff, we thought it was good value. Bathroom was super tiny. Nothing fancy but a comfortable and well priced bed in Potts Point. We would stay again.

Tiny room

Pros: Great location.
My room was so small the door scraped the single bed when opening and closing. there was no bedside table, no ensuite, so for the money I was expecting better.

Convenient location

Location: Potts Point is a beautiful location, with the harbour and a multitude of activities within easy walking distance. Buses and trains are available too.
This is a great value budget hotel, close enough to all the city has to offer without being right in it. The single room was more than big enough for a weekend, with everything new and clean. The room also had an opening window, although not with a view but nice just to get the breeze through. There are restaurants below so some noise is to be expected, but it was not excessive and the establishments closed at a reasonable hour. Note that this hotel has three floors but does not have a lift, so if you struggle with stairs or have plenty of luggage, you may want to request a first floor room.
