My stay at the Macleay Hotel was quite enjoyable, though there were a few bumps along the way. The location is fantastic, just a short walk to Kings Cross Station, making it super easy to access the city. The room had amazing views, especially of the Sydney Opera House. However, I noticed the room could use some modern updates and the dining options weren’t the best. Overall, I’d rate it a solid place to stay but with room for improvement.

I had a wonderful stay at the Macleay Hotel, enjoying the comfortable rooms and stunning views of Sydney. The location was perfect for exploring the area, with easy access to transportation and nearby cafes. The only downside was a minor issue with the shower that leaked water onto the bathroom floor, but overall, it was a fantastic experience.

I had a pleasant stay at the Macleay Hotel. The location was excellent, allowing easy access to local cafes and the Royal Botanic Gardens. However, the room felt a bit small for the price, and I did notice some noise from the ventilation system. Overall, the stay was enjoyable, with helpful staff and a great view from my room.

I found the Macleay Hotel to have a decent ambiance and a helpful staff, but there were some downsides during my stay. The kitchenette was a nice touch, and the views from the rooftop were enjoyable, though the room itself showed signs of wear. I also experienced some noise issues. Overall, it was a convenient location, but I left feeling a bit underwhelmed.
