“Great Value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2012

Great hotel for the price especially if you get the tower above the fifth floor for awesome views of the Harbor Bridge and Opera House. Our tower room was clean and well appointed and equipped. The staff was extremely friendly and competent. The King’s Cross railway station is next door to the hotel. Plenty of restaurants in the area. We especially enjoyed Watermoon as well as MacLeay Street Bistro and Anong restaurants. Avoid at all costs Mere Catherine.

Room Tip: Go for the tower above the fifth floor for harbor views

Dear braidmacd,

It is great to hear that our team at Holiday Inn Potts Point left a positive impression on your stay with us! Your review highlights that you spent some time discovering the surrounding area during your stay, and I completely agree so many dining choices! Watermoon is a great place to dine if you are after mouth-watering and truly traditional Japanese cuisine. Thank you very much for your positive feedback and we look forward to welcoming you back to the hotel to enjoy more of the breathtaking harbour views and great cuisine in the near future.

“Really Nice”

Nice hotel. But out on location, but theres a train station right next to the hotel. This does not generate any noise. The transport system in sydney is very good and I'd recommend it to anyone. Theres some restaunts in the vicinity and lots of convenicane stores. The hotel is modern and is alright but nothing too exciting

Dear manday24,

I am pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us. The great thing about being located right next to the train station is the seamless access into the CBD, only one stop away. Whether you are visiting for a few weeks or a couple of days, staying so close to the city allows you to enjoy Sydney’s renowned attractions with ease.

Thank you again for your feedback and we hope to see you at the hotel next time you are in Sydney.

“The Holiday Inn “Pitts” Point”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012

The Holiday Inn Potts Point is a hotel well past its prime.

I’m not sure what the life-cycle of a hotel is, but this one is in its death throes.

Its stands at the atop the Über – edgy and slightly risqué Kings Cross area of Sydney dressed in a string vest and shorts, when all around have moved on to long pants and cool evening wear.

It’s the sort of hotel that when you walked in you wouldn’t be surprised to read over the reception desk: “The Holiday Inn Potts Point Welcomers all Members of The National Vacuum Owners Association to Their Yearly Dinner and Dance.”

I spent one night here on business and frankly the few hours I was there was more than enough. The room on the 1st floor was so old and tired it was almost in a coma.

Despite spending an age trying, I couldn’t get the air-conditioning correct. So the room was unforgivingly humid and clammy. The bed is so uncomfortable it could have featured in a Monty Python sketch a-la: “The Spanish Inquisition.”

There is nothing relaxing about the place at all. In fact the entire experience sets you on edge if anything.

Its only up-side if you can call it that is, for central-Sydney it’s not that expensive. I think my bill for one night with breakfast came to $200 dollars (AUD)

In life as in hotels you are faced with choices.

Choose in haste- repent at leisure!!

“Good hotel.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 February 2012

people found this review helpful

Nice hotel that has a good restaurant. The location was good as we were able to travel by train to the city and Bondi Junction for the shops. The staff were very helpful. The hotel had a regular bus pick up for the airport which was useful for the trip back to the UK.
We travel between the UK and Australia every few months and like to try alternative hotels, after this stay we would choose to stay here again.Good value and nice.

Room Tip: Have a Harbour View room.

“Excellent Hotel. Good views. Very nice stay!”

We have just stayed in the Holiday Inn Potts Point for two nights. The hotel reception was friendly and efficient. We were upgraded to a Harbour View room which was comfortable and quiet even though we were next to the lifts. We had two dinners, in the restaurant as the meals were so nice, so much so we would choose to eat here again when in this part of Sydney. The train station is also very handy and the best way to get to the CBD.
Parking was easy and fairly priced.
Another good choice of hotel for business or leisure we would say.
