My partner and I had never been to Sydney before so we found the accommodation through wotif and saw a special rate going for the time we would be visiting. It looked promising but what we didn't realise was how helpful the staff would be, how gorgeous the historic house is, and what a great place it was in. Potts... More

We wanted to avoid the large franchise hotels and experience a location away from the tourist strips. Simpsons turned out to be a great choice. Enjoyed the location with many small very good restaurants nearby, a convenience store on the corner, + found a very nice coffee shop and a larger Woolworths grocery just a short walk away. This is... More

The property lived up to its prior reviews. The location is outstanding. We walked almost everywhere. The neighborhood had everything you need in case you did not want to walk or take a cab. Our room was very comfortable and large. The service was excellent from helping us get in early to breakfasts to suggesting tours or outings. We are... More

You could stay in any city centre hotel in Sydney, and you could be anywhere in the world. Or you could stay at Simpsons of Potts Point and be in a place oozing charm and character, and have the best tips from Keith, one of the proprietors, on getting the best out of your stay. His knowledge of the City... More

We spent 3 days in Sydney at the end of a New Zealand/Australia cruise. This hotel was built as a residence in 1892 and is located just outside of Sydney in Pott's Point. The neighborhood reminded us of Lincoln Park in Chicago or Georgetown in DC-very hip with good restaurants and quaint homes and shops. Sydney has a great transportation... More

The hotel's website describes itself as "Simpsons of Potts Point - the first choice of luxury boutique hotels in Sydney". This establishment is situated in an extremely attractive old manor in a district bestowed with interesting restaurants and shops outside the BDC that can be reached in a 20 minute walk or a 10 minute walk to the subway at...

After decades of travel and hotel stays, the 'home away from home' alternative is the only acceptable solution. Simpsons is just that. Beautiful, quiet, understated, elegant, sort of like the best home cooked meal - tastes as wonderful as in the restaurant but is digested with much greater ease. Simpson's makes even a greater difference in Sydney where a large... More

This is a period property, with high ceilings, opening windows and lots of character. The property is a little tired with older air conditioning, noisy fan, limited free to air TV. The staff are very attentive and keen to please. Potts Point is a busy inner city area - quite close to Kings Cross which is vibrant yet has quite... More
