Nothing

In early March 2025 we very much enjoyed a great one week stay at Spicers Potts Point in Sydney. We were initially attracted by its small size; its location; and its positive reviews. As to the location, it was exactly what we wanted, outside the hustle bustle of the CBD but close enough to be easily accessible by walking or public transportation. Kings Cross Station is just up the street, taxis are almost instantly available and we walked to and from the hotel to the CBD and Circular Quay several times in 30 minutes or less. The hotel is literally just a few minutes walk from some of Sydney’s more highly rated restaurants As to the size, the hotel has an intimate and upscale feel, with only about twenty rooms and suites spread out over three floors in three beautifully restored adjoining Victorian terrace buildings. We stayed in room #16 which is a spacious and nicely furnished room on the third floor and accessible by elevator. It is a quiet room away from street noise (which is what we had requested), the down side of which is that the view is limited. We were very comfortable, although we would have appreciated a bit more lighting (perhaps a floor lamp beside the easy chair) and more drawer space. As to breakfast, although we did not include breakfast in our rate plan, we ended up taking all of our breakfasts in house, both because it is served in an attractive, light-filled and cheerful room and because of the quality of the limited menu. Our regular order was two double-shot cappuccinos, a bowl of delicious house-made granola with yogurt and fresh fruit and an order of avocado toast, all of which were delicious; the only issue that we had was the inconsistency of the cooked food on the weekend, but the staff quickly dealt with that issue. All of the above notwithstanding, what made our stay most memorable was the warm welcome and daily support (including dinner recommendations and reservations, taxi bookings and tourist information) that we received from the staff, particularly from Charles, Katie, Lana and Phillip. Overall, we were very pleased with our stay at Spicers Potts Point, we would be delighted to stay there again and we would recommend it without reservation.

Spicers was the highlight of our stay in Australia. We loved the boutique feel of the hotel. Everything aspect of the hotel was beautifully done, offering a stylish 5 star experience , rather than glitzy ostentatious frills. All of the staff were super friendly and super helpful. Nothing was too much. We would have loved to have stayed for longer as we felt so at home. A worthy alternative to the big hotel chains. The hotel was well located for bars and restaurants within walking distance. Walks into the city centre were easy. We certainly felt we got to know the real character of Sydney in the short time we stayed.

The property is in a fantastic location with many restaurants nearby and great shopping too. The room was a good size and nicely designed with fine linens and towels. The staff was very helpful and always pleasant aiming to make guests comfortable and happy. The welcome drink was a nice touch and the evening cookie tray a plus! Fabulous property.

There was nothing we didn't like!!

This hotel is a great find. The location is fantastic, the staff incredibly friendly, personable and helpful, the breakfast absolutely delicious. If you can, get a room with the veranda.
