Macleay Hotel

Great views of the bridge and harbour. Located in a slightly strange part of town.

Location was great, as was the view from our harbour-facing room (we paid extra for that). Comfy bed, quiet. It was a small room - 3 star European size. Okay cafes nearby for breakfast. Close to some good restaurants. Public transport close by. The Booking.com site showed a breakfast room and daily time slot. No such thing. We were pointed to nearby cafes or told to use room service (motel like items). Floor of the very basic kitchenette was quite unstable - something wrong with the underlay. Shower door leaked water every time, no matter how we tried to prevent it. Some of the renovations were a bit shonky, and ALL the lights were very bright - no subtle lighting here.

Good

Excellent views, great location and well priced.

Welcoming staff, great location, excellent value for money for the single night, and nicely appointed with lots of amenities. Nothing. Everything was brilliant.

Staff were fantastic. The location is perfect and the facilities were solid. I will absolutely look to stay at the Macleay Hotel again when I next visit Sydney.

view of the harbour was fabulous

Very good

All good. Well done . We truly love our stay at macleay they upgraded our room so our view was spectacular Good enough

The location was ideal for my trip, staff were very helpful and very clean

The front desk is very helpful and friendly. Rooms r clean The faucet needed to be fixed,

Central location close cafes, restaurants, supermarkets. Excellent Public transport access ( buses and trains within minutes. Hotel is clean, comfortable and the view from my room was spectacular Nil

Location was very convenient and the view was amazing. I could hear the lift making noises half the night - and that was while wearing ear plugs.

We liked that we could open the window and get some fresh air. Was close to the shops, staff were friendly. We didn't like that there was a crane right outside our room and was noisy as well as the workers, there wasn't a microwave, you could see the dust and dirt in the room which was not good for my lung disease.

Cleanliness. Big credit to housekeeping.

We had a great view of the harbour (had to pay extra for that but it was worth it). Comfortable, clean room with openable windows so it was great to be able to let fresh air in. The kitchenette was small but very well equipped - more than adequate for eating breakfast and simple microwaveable fare. The staff were friendly and helpful. Our only complaint is that the building itself was not well soundproofed from internal noise - the lifts going up and down, other guests' doors slamming, etc, were all very easily heard in our room even though we weren't right next to the lifts or foyer areas. I'm not sure what can be done about this, but perhaps the doors to the rooms could be made more soundproof?

Exceptional

A great location and wonderful staff. The rooms although not necessarily luxurious were spotlessly clean especially the bathroom which was pretty amazing and the staff were very friendly and attentive. Nothing really.

Proximity to the city. Bathroom very clean and new. Tv had no reception, bathroom towels very thin and small. Had to ask for extra pillows (only two supplied for two guests). Room was crowded due to the tv being placed on an old desk which blocked access to the bed, table and chairs. No heating or cooling controls in the room. Not what I would consider 4 stars and definitely not worth $400 for one night.
