Hotel Challis Potts Point

A hotel in a very good neighbourhood when visiting Sydney for the first time. It was a walking distance to many restaurants and bars, as well as the metro at Kings Cross. Also possible to walk to the botanic garden, Sydney Opera house and even Central Business District. The view from the room was wonderful. The room was quite small (15sqm) but enough for 2 people. If you needed more tea/coffee you could get it at the reception.

Initial room was a converted broom cupboard and considering I’d booked 13 nights and had to then ask for to be relocated then that was disappointing ! Once moved after two night the new room was much better. Lovely cafe just up road ‘la Bombay’ is great for breakfast and this should be highlighted upon arrival. Reception were very helpful and reacted efficiently with my room change.

I had a wonderful stay of 4 nights at this charming, brilliantly located boutique hotel. Bed linen was luxe, which made getting to sleep a breeze: smallish ensuite, but more than suitable for my needs. A small bug, there was no face washer or flannel. Hard to wash using body wash. The staff were terrific, letting me check in an hour early, and very thoughtful. I will be staying here in the future, priced very keenly.

This hotel is set in a Lovely heritage building in a modern but sympathetically restored style, down a leafy street, in the pretty Challis area of Potts Point. Clean quiet and comfortable room and nice en-suite shower room too. Outside in the small courtyard there was also a table and chairs to catch the evening air. Near the reception was a lovely morning room for guests use with complimentary tea and coffee which was a surprise and very welcome. I enjoyed my stay here, nice room, compact but perfectly formed and well designed. Lovely clean sheets, very comfy mattress and pillows, I slept like a log, but I do always travel with a weighted eye mask so I didn’t notice if the room may be a little light for some people in the mornings. Very helpful, polite and professional reception team too made it a great stay and good value too. I love this area - Potts point is fun and many cafes and restaurants around and you can easily walk through to the art galleries, botanical gardens, the opera house and all the ferries at circular key. I will happily return.

I have stayed once before, and it is a location where I always stay when I come to Sydney. It is gorgeous building, and a bit quirky which I really like (the stairs connecting rooms to hallways, lift etc . Rooms have sufficient room and the beds are super comfortable.
