Three of us checked in on a Friday night (afer getting the keys from another site, that wasn't too bad, as we were aware of this before we got there. The 1st thing I noticed when I entered my apartment was the smell!! it smelled of dirty blocked drains, then I noticed the broken coffee table, the rubbish in corners of the room, the broken taps at the kitchen sink and that 3 of the lights didn't work. I was just about resigned to putting up with this (for 2 weeks), when one of my collegues texted me saying his toilet didn't work. As tour manager for the company, I went to check his room, his was similar, wihth broken light fittings (with wires exposed), mould in the cupboards, and a toilet that didn't flush. I rang the "after hours" reception service, who made vaguely apologetic noises, and said they would get the manager to call me, an hour later I called again and was told the they couldn't get the toilet fixed that night, or move my collegue to another room. I then made them call the manager again. Eventually, he called me and explained that there was nothing he could do, and there would be a plumber in at 8am to fix the toilet. I indicated that this wasn't good enough, and he just fobbed me off with excuses. So, I called our coordinator back in Melb, and we arrange to move out the next day, to Quest Potts Point, (which I can highly recommend).
Finally, after going back to my dirty smelly apartment for the night, I found a used condom lying on the window sill. Needless to say, when we moved out the next morning(at 11), there was no sign of the promised plumber.

NOT RECOMMENDED: This is not so much a hotel as simply rooms to let. It is located in the quaint Potts Point area. The building is quite old and reception is located about 10 min walk away. I was looking for a room for a week stay.

Ghastly is the only word I can use to describe the room. Dingy, dirty, bare, broken and that was just walking in the door. It went downhill. I am glad I asked to see the room before letting it and I did not spend the night in the property.

I learned later that this type of accommodation is well received by local Australians, however for an international visitor, this clearly is not a place to be found.

I have deliberated long and hard about writing this review however friends have insisted I share my experience so the same thing does not happen to anyone else.

As a solo female traveller it was not exactly convenient collecting the keys from another location however I knew this would be the case so cannot complain.
I was meeting friends for dinner that night so I went out pretty soon after arriving, the general appearance of the room was clean so I was happy especially for the price paid $436 for 3 nights. I returned to the hotel later that night being tired I cleaned my teeth and popped straight into bed. Wrong! I am not going to go into graphic detail however you can imagine my absolute horror and disgust when I awoke the next morning to find I had slept in “dirty” sheets that were certainly not of my making! I felt physically ill! Apart from the “mess” in the bed it was obvious the bed had just been pulled up as the unslept side of the bed the sheets had not been tucked in.
This is where not having an onsite reception is a real problem as you cannot just ring down to complain. The staff I contacted at the other hotel were not as apologetic as I would have expected they just told me to go out and they would change the sheets! I did stay there for another 2 nights as I had a busy few days planned and it would have been a hassle finding alternate accommodation. There was no further apology or offer of compensation in any form. So a word of warning check the bed before hopping in!

I got this for $110 a night over 4 nights. Key collection point is hard to find in the maze of Sydney.

Room is very basic but suffices. Air Conditioned and a little view. Bathrooms need a bit of a makeover.

Parking is very very tight. So if you have a car larger than a small sedan or you arn't a confident parker. Don't drive. Parking was extra as stated before hand when I booked.

It's in a great area. Potts Point is full of cafes and restaurants. The apartments are across the road from a supermarket and chemist and just down the hill from bustling Kings Cross.

If you are staying for awhile in Sydney and want a decent place for under $150 a night. Look here.
