“The studio apartments are a real find in Potts Point, more spacious than a standard hotel room, with kitchenettes that come in handy. I appreciate the attentive staff, especially after experiencing the impersonal service at other Australian hotels. A rooftop view during Sydney's fireworks? That's a memory worth making.”

The location is convenient. The bus stop is right in front of the hotel.
The parking situation proved difficult. The spaces are tight. It requires a skilled driver to navigate. the pool was disappointing. It seemed neglected and unclean. It was not heated, less enjoyable.

This lovely place boasts a perfect location near bus stops and Kings Cross Station. I found a supermarket across the street, which helped a lot. The staff shared tips, suggesting great activities for us.
