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.

There were 2 beds in our room. 1 was rock hard and the 2nd so soft you sunk into it. The parking was very tight and limited and we were there on a Wednesday. Susan at reception was super helpful.

This property does not have a restaurant or gym on site. There is a grocery store, conveniently located across the street that we found very nice. There are several restaurants in easy walking distance, but we had a hard time finding food we like.

Good Choice
The staff on reception are a credit to the hotel. I was so happy to be given a map, details of public transport and restaurant info all on paper. During my trip I was tired of being directed to an app or to scan a QR code. The receptionists took time to ask about my day and enjoyment. The hotel is about 10 minutes steady walk from Kings Cross train station and there is a bus stop literally at the front door. It's a pleasant walk down to the Botanic Gardens which leads onto the Opera House and Circular Quay, I was lucky enough to be allocated a Harbour Bridge view room which was amazing. The apartment had ample crockery and cutlery. I only really used it for breakfast so the kettle, toaster and hotplate were all I needed. There is a laundry on every floor for use of the guests. The decor is probably becoming a bit dated, but the service. cleanliness location and views more than make up for this
