Thanks for your Review! Yes, the large chain hotels do have their advantages, with more facilities (swimming-pool, gymnasium, conference rooms, etc), but I agree tat at times it is nice to have a change! We pride ourselves on giving guests a peaceful, friendly stay, in a lovely old mansion house, situated in an interesting area full of great restaurants, cafes... More

Thankyou for this succint and helpful Review. Yes, the Royal Botanic Gardnes are really special, with some interesting wild-flis, and birds, especially the large white cockatoos, with their bright sulpher-coloures crests! We try to visit the Gardens several times a week, as it is a really pleasant way to walk into the City, or down to the Opera House, and... More

Wowee! What a wonderful Review. Thankyou Carmel. We remember this lovely Irish couple who stayed with us recently, after visiting relations in Melbourne! It is really nice of them to go into so much details, and we are very pleased that they obviously enjoyed their time in Sydney! Thanks again for taking the trouble and time to review us so... More

What a thoughtful Review, Dieter! This couple had planned their trip well, and arranged to get the most out of their time in Sydney. We felt that they had enjoyed their stay with us, and are glad that this was in fact correct! Thankyou for referring to our website, and especially the Video link on the front page. It does... More

Thanks for your positive Review. Yes, whilst our officail check-in is 3.00.pm., we do try to get our rooms ready as soon as possible, especially for our long-distance travellers. However, if they are on an early morning flight, and their room is not ready, we do have a downstairs bathroom that they can use to "freshen-up". we can make them... More

We remember this lovely couple form Cailfornia who seemed to enjoy their time with us! And yes, we always like it when we need to re-fill the port and sherry decanters in the morning, as it means our guests are enjoying participating in them! And of course, a myriad of great neighbourhood restaurants and little bars to enjoy. Cheers....keith. More

Thanks Don! A nice straightforward and positive Review. We like "positive" ! Yes, we are in a very nice neighbourhood, yet close enough to walk to the centre of the City in about 20-minutes. We think Potts Point is " the place to stay when you want to be in the City, but don't want to stay in the City"... More

Thankyou for your constructive Review. Yes, it is difficult to find suitable restaurants for babies anywhere, but there are a few that we can recommend. Whilst we do welcome "hotel-trained" children, as they say, we probably are more suited to couples, or people with older children. We were surpsied to hear of the plumbing noise being an issue, but of... More

Thanks Trish! Nice to get some favourable comments from an Aussie! We do get quite a few Canberra guests, as "Simpsons" offers something unique, with our lovely old heritage building. There is no doubt that the large chain hotels have many advantages over "Simpsons" from the point of view of major facilities, conference rooms, swimming pools, etc., but we do... More
