Great staff front desk. I booked a regular room. I am one leg amputee. Staff helped with accessible setup. Provided shower chair. I had my own suction grab bars. I think it worked for me because I had family members helping. Generally I suggest getting an accessible room.

Not for me

I didn't really like the room. There was no heating, no lock on door and no safe. The view was great but for the price I just didn't really like it. It was also very noisy all night with banging from the lift or the tumble tryer behind my room. Wouldn't stay again.

For a budget choice the Macleay Hotel ticked all our needs. Clean, comfortable and central to our needs while visiting Sydney. Parking made easy. Front desk upgraded us to a better room. Not expensive but what a view across to the harbour bridge. I imagined what New Year’s Eve would be like from that vantage point. An experience that we’d repeat.

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.

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.

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.
