Feedback about Macleay Hotel from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests consistently praise the Macleay Hotel's prime location in Potts Point, with easy access to cafes, restaurants, and shops, including a Woolworths just across the road. Many appreciate the proximity to public transport, such as the bus stop right outside the hotel for easy access to the city and Circular Quay, and the short walk to Kings Cross Station. The Harbour Bridge view from some studio rooms is a definite highlight, and the rooms generally offer a comfortable stay with amenities like kitchenettes; however, some found certain rooms to be on the smaller side.

excellent stay

The location allowed easy access to many restaurants and a supermarket. a bus stop was just across the street. Buses went directly into the cbd. the room included a modern bathroom, so this was convenient.
the hotel parking bays were limited and tight! so it was hard to find a space.
