"friendly staff, clean spacious room"

ibis budget Sydney East
"立地が良い、スタッフの対応もいい"
Hotel Diplomat Sydney
"The staff were very friendly and helpful. They gave us some tips and good spots to see while we were visiting Sydney for the first time. They kept our luggage for the day after check out while we killed time before our evening flight. The hotel could be better maintained. The caulk in our bathroom could do with replacing and the carpet in our room had some stains. I did take note that it looked like they were replacing the carpet in some of the rooms on the main floor, maybe our room was just one of the older ones. We used the ceramic mugs in the room for some tea and they were not taken to be washed nor were they replaced with clean ones unfortunately. Due to the location of the hotel it was a bit loud at night and in the morning, there’s not much sound proofing. However, overall it was a good stay. We enjoyed time and appreciated the courteous staff."
Macleay Hotel
"I really enjoyed staying at the Macleay. The staff were helpful and courteous, allowing me to have a delivery sent to the hotel, bringing it to my room while I was out, and helping me with travel adapters twice. The location was perfect, Macleay street is right in the middle of Potts Point, near loads of cafes and restaurants. Also, a short stroll to the botanical gardens and Sydney opera house. Equally, Kings Cross station is just a ten minute walk for further transportation links. I’d easily recommend the Macleay to a friend and wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again myself."
Cozy M Hostel
"The price is great for what it is. Great location as well"
No9 Springfield
"Great refurbished rooms just missing a chair and hairdryer from the updates"
