We had a first floor superior room with shower room and kitchenette. The room was clean and tidy and the bed very comfy. Located in a nice area in Potts Point you can walk to the Opera House in about 20 mins through the Domain and Kings Cross station is about a 5 min walk. There is a lot going... More

5nights at $50/nt, well...yes. Shared toilets and a prison-like room with no view can make the slightly depressed even more so. And Mildew, come on hotels, if you're not able to smell it, at least make a policy of replacing shower curtains on a regular basis. The higher the odd little TV is mounted on the wall, the more end-of-life... More

Great location in Potts Point, close to cafes and restaurants and within walking distance of the city (as long as you don't mind steps, as McElhone Stairs are a bit of a challenge!). Room was clean and comfortable, with ensuite and tea/coffee making facilities in the kitchenette. The only downside was that the area was noisy until around 11pm at... More

Good location just outside Kings Cross area in Potts Point. No elevaor, so you had to climb the stairs. There were 3 of us in 1 room - just one room with ensuite bathroom. The only negative for us was that hot water for the shower took a long time to arrive, so it is quite a waste of water... More

Perfect spot for both CBD etc and the coolest place - Potts Point - great restaurants - try Gazebo and coffee (Bourke St Bakery) Despite our chaotic travel plans the receptionist and manager were really helpful and accommodating. (Thanks Giedre for emailing about the headphones I left behind!) Room very clean and comfortable. Recommend to anyone More

My solo stay at this hotel was very good! The Single Room, though the size of my laundry at home, was all I needed. Clean, and comfortable, no view as such but I was only there to sleep. I was unable to secure a room with ensuite but the shower room was right next door and well presented and clean.... More

The location of the Maisonette Hotel is great--a quick 5-10 minute walk to Kings Cross Station with a residential neighborhood on one side and the restaurants and shops of Macleay Street on the other. The room that we stayed in was a Twin Ensuite. When we checked in, we were given room #17 on the first floor with the caveat... More

Enjoyed the location, walk to Art Gallery, using trains. Room was exceptionally small and had to leave door propped open at night to sleep. Was like a sauna. May be better in the cooler months. Noise from restaurant next door was terrible. Not even a hook to hang a towel. More

Wanted somewhere close to the centre for the first stop on our Australia trip. We don't like to pay more than necessary for accomodation so this worked out really well for us. We also love to walk so the chance to walk the streets of Potts Point and over to the Botanical Gardens, Opera House - even as far as... More
