Pros:

A nice neighborhood with lots of cafe/restaurants. Only 10 minutes walk to King Cross stations plus 20 minutes walk to Botanic Garden which got really nice views of Opera House.
And the share toilet was very clean!

Great location, fantastic value for money overall. Friendly and helpful staff.
Pros:

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.

Cons:

Twin room was quite squashy but doable. Beds were a little soft. 10am checkout.

lovely location and awesome base in Sydney.
Pros:

we love the urban and street appeal of this location- with great restaurants and cafes locally. easy walking to opera house (not so great if you don't like steps). Also we stayed on the 3rd floor of maisonettes - there's no lift - so ask for a lower level if you have mobility issues. lovely staff and great value for money.

Great if you need a room in Potts Point and pay attention to the office hours. Otherwise, just OK.
Pros:

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.

Cons:

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 smaller than expected, but the location was quiet and excellent, staff very helpful
Pros:

room was clean and staff very pleasant and helpful. Room was clean and air conditioning worked well, thankfully because of the hot weather

Cons:

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

Pros:

Sydney at New Year’s is crowded and extremely expensive, so I chose a more basic hotel than I usually would. Location was nice, lots of restaurants etc nearby and walking distance to the opera house and downtown.

Cons:

Shared bathroom wouldn’t have been my choice.
