The Macleay Hotel was a great place to stay! It's about a 35 min walk from Circular Quay, which my husband and I loved, because we felt like we were getting in our exercise! The closest train station is Kings Cross, and it is only a couple of minutes away. There are many local restaurants and bars. Everyone at the front desk was kind and helpful. Just a note- even though you are staying at a hotel, there isn't room service through AirBNB. This wasn't a problem for us, because we normally opt out of it anyway, but just want all to be aware if that is a deal breaker. The front desk staff was happy to provide extra towels and coffee though! Susan was phenomenal is her responses. She always answered quickly and provided us with the answers to all of our logistical questions. She also leaves a list of her suggested local places in the back of the hotel's room book. Great stay!
