    thoughtful service
    comfortable bed

    Solo traveler’s hidden gem

    I really enjoyed my stay, the bed was fabulously comfortable and let me tell you this, I had the best night’s sleep I’ve had in a long time. Plus, they loaned me a towel to hit the beach after check-out, really thoughtful touch.

    It wasn’t inexpensive but for the quality, I found it still acceptable.

    spacious room
    vibrant atmosphere
    small initial room
    customer service responsiveness
    noisy venues

    A spacious, modern room with a large window and mini-fridge provided a comfortable stay. The vibrant local atmosphere and access to excellent cafes and restaurants heightened the experience. However, the initial small room felt inadequate for a longer stay, and customer service could improve in responsiveness to such issues. Also, some nearby venues were quite noisy at night, impacting sleep quality.

    beautiful terrace house
    friendly staff

    wonderful accessibility to parks and local restaurants

    I absolutely loved my stay in this charming hotel, especially since it was just a few steps away from the beautiful Elizabeth Bay House and only a short stroll to the stunning Royal Botanic Gardens, which made my weekend explorations truly memorable. plus, having delicious dining options like Monopole and Macleay Street Bistro right around the corner meant I never had to go far for a great meal.

    great location
    room size
    noise level

    Challis Potts Point offers a charming retreat vibe. The retro decor feels cozy, creating a lovely atmosphere for relaxation. The location is super convenient, making it easy to explore nearby cafes and shops. The area is quiet, perfect for a peaceful stay. However, the room is quite small, posing challenges with luggage space. I wished for a shelf for toiletries since I found the bathroom limited in space. Also, soundproofing could definitely use improvement. I could hear every conversation in the hallway. Despite these inconveniences, the friendly reception staff made the experience more enjoyable.
