    Fantastic location, walking distance to the event we attended and was lovely strolling around the neighbourhood.

    The shower had a foul looking stain/growth in the bottom of it and didn't look clean - we both avoided having a shower as we didn't want to step foot in a dirty shower. The bed also had a strange smell when I slept in it.

    8JamesPosted on: 2-6-2026

    Was a value for money, comfortable room close to the CBD

    8ChrisPosted on: 2-4-2026

    The staff were excellent.The room was nice and the bed comfy.The cooked breakfast was great.

    Proximity to the city was good but unfortunately there were some deros around the area.

    7MoniquePosted on: 2-1-2026

    I love the old charm of the place. The parking is so convenient. The Free breakfast has all the usual, eggs bacon, toast, cereal, fresh fruit, coffee Tea and fruit juice.

    There was nothing I didn’t like

    Lovely hotel tucked away from the main street and still so close to everything. The room provided was very clean and quiet, with occasional birdsong and very little traffic. The decor and furnishings are homely and well maintained, making it feel comfortable and welcoming, as well as nice and cool in the heat. All the staff are professional, friendly and courteous and the entry/exit was very well lit for use when it’s dark. Will definitely try and stay again.

    Fabulous location. Good facilities. Breakfast included. Parking.

    Nothing!

    10KatePosted on: 1-29-2026

    Breakfast was amazing and the bed was super soft

    The mugs are too small for a decent coffee but that's not a deal breaker

    3MichaelPosted on: 1-27-2026

    The location is close to Potts Point cafes, Garden Island Naval Base and several good pubs.

    This hotel was originally set up as an aged care facility and has much of the original character of an aged care facility or hospital. The rooms lack character and as noted more like an aged care room furniture and cheap wall print. I would suggest if you work in a hospital or similar facility, you would think you are back at work in an old facility. The room description notes a balcony but it in reality it is a shared common area. The room door handle and lock is not great and could easily be broken. McElhome Street is very run down with plenty of street rubbish and issues with surrounding neighbours.

    Great location.Staff friendly and helpful

    Cooked breakfast poor.Eggs like rubber. Bacon flavourless

    5CianPosted on: 1-25-2026

    Close to venue for concert

    Had very dated feel with clinical feeling bathrooms. I suspect it was an old aged care facility.

    * Breakfast was included* We got our room graciously upgraded* The manager is super nice and the staff will treat you well! Rooms were cleaned exceptionally well every day * The hotel is only a short walk away from the city center and the Opera House (or an Uber ride, if you're feeling lazy)

    Breakfast was the same every day, could've used a bit of variety in my opinion.

    8MarcusPosted on: 1-19-2026

    Great location . Clean tidy hotel that is great value

    The hump in the drive way to the garage my car bellied out on

    9HeidiPosted on: 1-19-2026

    Exactly what I needed! As a solo traveler I felt safe and well taken care of. I was able to access the guest lounge at the hotel after my flight got in early which was greatly appreciated.

    7CatrionaPosted on: 1-19-2026

    Free breakfast was definitely a bonus, would gladly stay again just for that! Also the receptionist is so lovely and sweet, she was delightful as the face of the hotel.Layout is very nice, the courtyards for every room are a welcome touch.

    Alarm sound for breakfast which I understand the intention of but it is Loud and a bit obtrusive.

    7JamesPosted on: 1-12-2026

    Breakfast was nice and location to the city was good

    Is placed in a rough area which was a bit dodgy at night ,but the walk into the city is nice
