What guests think

At Macleay Hotel, travellers praise the walkable Potts Point location, friendly staff, and harbour views from upper floors, while noting compact, dated rooms, limited onsite amenities, occasional noise, and quirks like central A/C control and a lack of in‑room safes.

Rooms are generally clean, though some mention stained linens, dusty spots, or delayed housekeeping. Most units include a kitchenette; expect a small pool, guest laundries, and tight paid parking, with no on‑site restaurant or gym, though some guests used a nearby gym. It suits travellers who prioritise convenience and value over full‑service luxury.

Very pleasant room on 9th flt with expansive views of the harbour and eastern suburbs. Has fantastic extras such as basic cooking facilities, crockery and cutlery and a sink. Bathroom looks recently renovated. All in such a great location in Potts Point.

This is a good place to stay if you want to be close to everything. The property was relatively quiet, housekeeping will clean if you don’t put up the “do not disturb” sign, bus stop right in front, near a Woolworth’s and a 7 minute walk to Kings Cross train station. Access to a legit gym which has weights and squat racks. The front desk people were very nice and accommodating. The only thing is I felt the room looked a bit worn compared to the pictures. Otherwise it’s great and has all the needed amenities.

Was disappointed that the property was listed as having breakfast, but in fact it was only room service that the attendant said he was happy to do but advised us to go over the road. Also the parking was full and we were sent up the road with no idea of the cost.

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

The location was excellent. We did have trouble finding as there is another building nearby called the Macleay. So we found it confusing. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Our only complaint about our room was that the bed spread had a huge stain on. It looked like it might’ve been a coffee stain so it should’ve come out if it had been washed. Or if they couldn’t get the stain out, it should’ve been replaced. Besides that our room was clean.

Room had great comfortable bed, decent desk, good wifi, was cleaned to spotless every day. Fantastic view of Bridge and Opera House, and loved opening windows for fresh air. Staff were really helpful and friendly. My new "go to" for Sydney stays.

Beautiful view. Older style urban hotel design with actually keys to open the doors. Nice clean rooms and comfortable bedding with enough towels and a bonus to have washcloths. However, there was no bolt lock on the room door which made me nervous. Also there was only electrical outlets ( no usb usb c plugs) so don’t forget your international wall adapter. That made it a bit inconvenient for my multiple devices. Otherwise, a good location for a long but delightful walk to the harbor.

The advertised room picture bore no resemblence to what we got. Our window (patio) opened on to a shared patio, also overlooked by other buildings, meaning that we had no privacy unless the curtains were closed. At one point we left our key in our room. Reception handed us a spare key with no verification of who we were.

Vi hade en bokning för 3 nätter på Macleay. När det sedan visade sig att vi kunde stanna 2 nätter längre hade vi tur att kunna boka ett annat rum på samma hotell. Supersmidigt att bara kunna flytta väskorna, och det nya rummet låg dessutom på plan 8 med utsikt över hamnen. Toppen! Trevlig personal som verkligen försökte hjälpa oss med en grej vi bad om, och bra läge - både att gå till botaniska trädgården och shoppingkvarteren, men även bra närhet till Kings Cross och många tunnelbanor.

The choice of hot porridge with a luxuriously rich mix of stewed fruit from the breakfast menu was such a delight during my winter stay. I'm not sure what local kitchen this is ordered from but keep it coming. Delicious! Room had the most glorious uninterrupted views across Sydney Harbour however in general the decor and bathroom needs updating which would literally grow the spaces 1000 percent. Also, this goes for every hotel/motel style accommodation where I've stayed . . . .. and that is hooks, hooks and more clothing hooks and/or places to hang towels, clothing etc.. in the bathroom or elsewhere. A folding luggage rack wouldn't go astray either, even if it is something that can be requested during or prior to a stay. This property is in a fun, village-like location and the staff were lovely and super helpful but it's the little extras that would take the experience to another level.
