Hotel Details

Location

Right on Macleay Street in Potts Point, surrounded by shops, cafes, and restaurants - a short walk to Kings Cross station and 20-27 minutes on foot to Circular Quay.
The property sits on the main strip of Potts Point, putting you within a 10-15 minute walk of Kings Cross station. Circular Quay (ferries and Opera House) is a 27-minute walk via the Cowper Wharf. The Garden Botanic and the Sydney Harbour foreshore are also within easy walking distance. A bus stop is directly opposite, with route 311 providing a 15-minute ride to the city centre. Nearby, you will find a Woolworths supermarket (2 minutes), Llankelly Place with multicultural eateries (5 minutes), and Victoria Street with boutique bars. On Saturdays, the Kings Cross Market in Fitzroy Gardens offers organic produce and food stalls. The area is well supplied with cafés and restaurants within a short walk.

Accommodation

Compact, modern rooms with private basin, fridge, kettle, air conditioning, premium pillow-top bedding, and shared bathroom facilities. Some rooms have a balcony.
Room types include Compact Single, Compact Double, Queen Balcony, Double Balcony, Triple, and Family rooms. All rooms feature premium pillow-top bedding, a flat-screen TV, air conditioning, a wash basin, a small fridge, tea/coffee making facilities, and a workspace. Towels are provided. Rooms with a balcony offer outdoor space and street-facing views. Each room has its own key for privacy. The shared bathrooms (one per floor, shared among nearby rooms) are cleaned twice daily. Noise from hallway and bathroom doors can be significant due to the building's older construction. Rooms facing the road may be affected by street noise. Light sleepers should consider a room away from the front or bring earplugs. Rooms are compact - moving around can be tight, particularly in single and double configurations.

Dining

The property has no restaurant, but offers a communal 24/7 tea bar with microwave, toaster, kettle, and unlimited tea, coffee, and milk refills.
Breakfast is not served on site, but the communal tea bar is available around the clock for self-service hot drinks and light snacks. There is no restaurant or bar at the property. The surrounding Potts Point and Macleay Street area provides numerous café and restaurant options within a 5-minute walk, covering cuisines from Italian to Asian. A Woolworths supermarket is around the corner for groceries.

Wellness and Leisure

No on-site spa, pool, or gym. The property's leisure value comes from its central location and walking access to the harbour, parks, and nearby markets.
Walking tours are available for an additional charge. The nearby Kings Cross Market on Saturdays provides organic produce and food stalls. Rushcutters Bay Park (15-minute walk) has an outdoor exercise park and is good for a jog or walk. The Sydney Harbour shoreline, including the Opera House and Botanic Gardens, is within a 20-30 minute walk, offering running and walking routes. No on-site fitness or spa facilities exist.
