It is many years that we have been visiting the HI at Potts Point and is our home away from home. It was wonderful to see Andrew back in the restaurant.
Great location and value for money

We stayed in this property on Friday night the 17th of June. We had some vivid staycation deal which gave us a bottle of wine and free parking for 338 then gad small pet so 75 on top. I supposed to have city view room. Room was given in old wing with top of sydney tower view. When we went to the room the door was unlocked. Under the table there was a full sheet of a4 paper with drawing and piece of plastic. We notified front desk who said sometimes housekeepers do not close door properly hence the door was open. About the rubbish, she hesitantly mentioned if we want to change a room, which I said nevermind then she offered drink which I don’t drink. We are IHG member, I used to manage one of the choice hotels in Florida, we treat or privileged member so much better. I won’t stay to this property again.
Room for improvement here

I was at this hotel for 4 nights - all of which I regret. I had booked one of the suites and in the past have stayed on the 8th or 9 floor. This time I was given a room on the 3rd floor in what seems the older wing. This room had a (dirty) kitchen for some reason - but no ability to use any of the appliances.
Anyway - the rooms are large. Separate bedroom etc. So to some of the issues. As a platinum elite member - I requested an early check in. No given. A dead cockroach remained on the floor for three days even though the cleaners had been in each day. They could not have missed it ! The cleaning is average. No room vacuuming the whole 4 days - in fact I had to grab the vacuum from the cleaner one day to clean the carpet next to the couch as they didn't do it. The quilt on the bed was not clean. I removed it from the cover, it was very stained and they continued to place it on the bed. And the bed was never made - the covers just pulled up. The other annoying cleaning issue is that existing guests are serviced last - meaning most days the room was not serviced until late in the day which did not suit me. I asked at reception for earlier servicing - but it never happened. It was also annoying to see room service plates outside rooms for days on end. Know one seems responsible for collecting them ! The room was also VERY noisy - from adjacent guests and outside noise. I stay here because of the location - but in future I'll stay at the Intercon I think.
Exceptional service

This was a last-minute "whim" trip to see Vivid and we were welcomed with a beautiful bottle of bubbles and a hand written card in our room. It was a lovely surprise and made our trip all the more memorable. Service at the front desk was also exceptional. The hotel is always a good option in Sydney CBD - I love the proximity to the train station and how easily accessible everything is. The facilities as a whole could go with an upgrade, but the hotel still offers comfortable beds and good quality linen. Not my first stay and there will definitely be more.
Excellent location and service

I have stayed many IHG hotels but this hotel’s service was truly exceptional
Great location, but needs improving

Great location right in the heart of Darlinghurst. If budget allows, get a room with Harbour view, it's stunning. While the hotel has done some renovating, they really should replace the fixed furniture, like the TV cabinets, which are old and falling apart. Talking about TV, they are also in urgent need of a proper TV system that allows casting. The room service menu was pretty uninspiring with very limited healthy and/or vegetarian options.
A big negative is that the rooms (or at least my room) didn't have a hair dryer - maybe it was just missing by accident, but still annoying.
Great location, even greater views

Will definitely be back if I visit Sydney again. Even though it’s not the most lavishly equipped hotel, the views of downtown and the harbor as well as having plenty of local shops and restaurants within walking distance was amazing.
Clean, Quiet, Good Bed

Lovely stay in a harbour view room. Hotel is very clean and quiet but decor is a bit tired. A fresh coat of paint would do wonders. Bathroom was also dated but perfectly serviceable. Excellent location right next door to Kings Cross train station. We will stay again. Recommended.
Very convenient place to stay?
