I had a good stay at Simpsons Of Potts Point! The location was perfect, allowing me easy access to downtown Sydney while still being in a quieter area. The breakfast was a highlight, featuring organic products and a variety of choices. However, I felt that a few maintenance issues, like dusty windows and a leaking tap, could be addressed for a more polished experience. Overall, I highly recommend this charming hotel. 😊🌟

I had a wonderful stay at Simpson's of Potts Point, where the atmosphere was filled with warmth and elegance. The staff was really good, offering me great assistance from the moment I arrived, setting a perfect tone for my visit. Although I enjoyed the lovely, spacious room and the great location near numerous restaurants and cafes, I found the breakfast options a bit lacking in variety. Overall, it felt like a 'home away from home' experience, and I would definitely return. 😊🏨
