Nice property in a great location. There’s a supermarket conveniently located across the road, along with a Bus stop where you can catch a ride to/from downtown Sydney. For those who enjoy walking, the hotel is only 30mins (2km) from Circular Quay. Macleay Hotel will be my new go to property when visiting Sydney. Highly recommended.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities

I'm extremely disappointed that the room I booked with a harbour bridge view wasn't provided. Despite paying for that specific room, I was given one without the view. To make matters worse, the bathroom lacks an exhaust fan. I've already complained to the reception, but they claim the hotel is fully booked. I believe I'm entitled to a rebate for not receiving the room I paid for.

Liked: Cleanliness

The hotel is in a prime location. The opera house and harbor bridge are nearby ~2kms. The botanical garden, art gallery are within walking distance. A lot of dining and pubs around. Good place to stroll around from the hotel. Frequent buses opposite to hotel for Central and Millars St.(QVB). I have enjoyed the stay. The room is a bit congested for 4. It was neat and clean. maintained well. The shower tap (Hot/Cold mixer) was not mixing properly. However, it can be easily fixed. Overall good stay.

This was my third stay. I will always return for the view, the staff service and the price. The area surrounding the hotel is terrific. No need to travel into Sydney's CBD, however, if you do need to visit the city, there are many options nearby. A bus out the front and 5 minute walk to Kind Cross station. The restaurants around the hotel are spectacular too. But that view! 180 degree view from the harbour Bridge to the Heads. Love this place!
