    Small room but clean and comfortable. Much quieter than I anticipated it would be. In the quiet end of Potts Point, nice corner bar next door. Twin room was quite squashy but doable. Beds were a little soft. 10am checkout.

    Overall not bad. The main reason for choosing this place is the location. Potts Point is a great location for travelling in Sydney. The room is fine and not too noisy if you keep the windows closed. AC works fine, and the room seems to be clean. The view out is just another wall of the adjacent building with very little sunlight, which is disappointing. Check-in times and housekeeping are somewhat frustrating with lack of people around. But as long as you keep the office hours in mind it's bearable.

    room was clean and staff very pleasant and helpful. Room was clean and air conditioning worked well, thankfully because of the hot weather Room with twin beds was very small, barely room to fit our two suitcases. pictures make the rooms look bigger than they are. Not much in the room in the way of hooks, shelving, cupboards to put anything, plus no mirror in the bathroom

    There were only 3 staff i saw my entire stay. And they all were wonderful. Location was great there's a cafe next door several bars and a restaurant on the same street. Grocery store and more up the road. My room had absolutely no view. It looked towards a plaster building 3ft away. Complete privacy. Sounds silly, but it was a twin suze bed a little short for someone over 6ft. I believe some rooms had a queen. Its a minimalist room. Clothes on the hanger draped on the shelf.

    Location was very centric. Close to King Cross stations with several pubs around. 20 mins ride to Circular Quay or Bondi Beach. Would hop on Lime and explore city. Plenty eateries and groc stores nearby. Felt safe as well Room was clean and had all basic things for single person. Check in process even after hours was smooth. Good value Room was next to shared washroom (324) and there was distrubance everytime someone visited loo. Pillow was dated, stiff and low Stairs are narrow, had to take luggage all the way to third floor on narrow staircase

    The accommodation was in an excellent part of town. Close to several public transport options, good location for eating out locally and having coffee. Even though the area a little south is pretty lively in terms of nightlife, there was never any major issues with noise or bustle. The staff were also very helpful, and you could tell they made a great effort to keep the facilities clean. The wifi strength was not great. Since I wasn't able to get a mobile network signal within the building, wifi was my only option for using internet, and there were a few drop-outs.

    Nothing to dislike :)

  • Engine customer Oct 2025

    The stair case is narrow and not easy for carrying suitcases, but that is clearly mentioned. There was one lamp that worked, otherwise there was overhead ceiling lighting. Both necessitated getting out of bed to turn on/off. Not a fan of the carpeting, which was clearly a bit on the vintage side (judging from a visible tear by the bathroom), but that was also clear in the photos. Everything was clean and tidy☺️ Lots of restaurants within walking distance. Great location!

    Good location and comfortable stay for a solo traveler. There were cute coffee shops and eateries near by.

    Room sitting and facilities Staff Working time is on website and booking site is same but I went on the spot, seen at door staff timing was different and short working hours and after working hours , checkin process is complex, they don’t answer their emergency contact number, nor do not answer on booking site inbox. Pls work on those concerns Thanks

    Not much. The location was great. The room was tiny. The door didn’t close properly to the room. The cups were filthy. Bright lights in the hallway shine through the bottom of the door all night. Very uncomfortable beds. Pillows were even worse. Fan in the bathroom was very loud and pretty useless. Bathroom is tiny, toilet/shower/basin all on top of each other, awful
