We had a well equipped twin room with a great view over Elizabeth Bay (see photo). The staff were helpful and the ongoing renovations were not a problem. It was a bit of a pain that free wifi was only available in the lobby but sometimes it could be picked up in the room (depending on which floor you are... More

We stayed here for five nights in May. What can I say? Really disappointed if I'm totally honest. The pictures on the website don't show it as it is. Don't be misled by these. Reception staff are lovely and very helpful and the housekeeper that helped us with the washing facilities was lovely too. That's as far as lovely goes.... More

We stayed a week, fortunate to have a room with a view of the harbour and Opera House, on the 7th floor. Enjoyed having the kitchenette. Toaster, kettle, combo oven and microwave and a 2 burner hotplate. 3 blocks from the Kings Cross station and most buses.

We booked here solely based on combination of reviews (on TripAdvisor) and price, and we were NOT disappointed. Hotel is easy to get to, just a 10 minute walk from Kings Cross train station, and the service we received upon check-in was first class, starting with being able to check in a little after 10AM. The desk attendant gave us... More

My sister and I stayed at the Macleay Hotel for a 50th birthday holiday for my sister. Although they were working on the outside of the building when we stayed there, this did not disrupt us at all. The staff were all very friendly and the old dog belonging to one of the staff was a nice talking point. The... More

I first stayed at the Macleay several years ago when I was looking on the internet for an affordable room in Potts Point or nearby.
