Spicers Potts Point

In early March 2025 we very much enjoyed a great one week stay at Spicers Potts Point in Sydney. We were initially attracted by its small size; its location; and its positive reviews. As to the location, it was exactly what we wanted, outside the hustle bustle of the CBD but close enough to be easily accessible by walking or public transportation. Kings Cross Station is just up the street, taxis are almost instantly available and we walked to and from the hotel to the CBD and Circular Quay several times in 30 minutes or less. The hotel is literally just a few minutes walk from some of Sydney’s more highly rated restaurants As to the size, the hotel has an intimate and upscale feel, with only about twenty rooms and suites spread out over three floors in three beautifully restored adjoining Victorian terrace buildings. We stayed in room #16 which is a spacious and nicely furnished room on the third floor and accessible by elevator. It is a quiet room away from street noise (which is what we had requested), the down side of which is that the view is limited. We were very comfortable, although we would have appreciated a bit more lighting (perhaps a floor lamp beside the easy chair) and more drawer space. As to breakfast, although we did not include breakfast in our rate plan, we ended up taking all of our breakfasts in house, both because it is served in an attractive, light-filled and cheerful room and because of the quality of the limited menu. Our regular order was two double-shot cappuccinos, a bowl of delicious house-made granola with yogurt and fresh fruit and an order of avocado toast, all of which were delicious; the only issue that we had was the inconsistency of the cooked food on the weekend, but the staff quickly dealt with that issue. All of the above notwithstanding, what made our stay most memorable was the warm welcome and daily support (including dinner recommendations and reservations, taxi bookings and tourist information) that we received from the staff, particularly from Charles, Katie, Lana and Phillip. Overall, we were very pleased with our stay at Spicers Potts Point, we would be delighted to stay there again and we would recommend it without reservation.

This is a lovely boutique hotel in a very convenient central location, a very short walk from many great bars and restaurants and walking distance to the CBD. The room was extremely comfortable with an amazingly comfortable bed and a huge shower. The staff were absolutely delightful and went out of their way to be friendly and accommodating. It is rare to get service like this in Australia. I will be returning.

We recently stayed for 5 nights. Service from Reception was truly exceptional - Philip and Charles went beyond anything we have experienced in our travels. We will return and use this hotel in future visits to Sydney. The location is so convenient to eateries and transport and only a beautiful short walk to the Quay.

A delightful and homely hotel nestled providing a luxury nestled into the streets of Potts Point. We stayed here on recommendation of our travel agent as the final leg of our honeymoon and it provided the perfect luxurious base from which to explore Sydney. The staff (particularly Phillip who we saw the most of) were endlessly approachable, friendly and willing to help and advise both in the hotel but also on recommendations of things to do in Sydney. We stayed in one of the Terrace Suites which was blissful luxury and made a relaxing place to return to after busy days exploring the city. Breakfast was a simple a la carte menu but all items were thoughtful made and very tasty with service efficient and friendly. It was a bit noisy in the mornings from the activity of the relatively main road outside as the doors to the terrace were not particularly sealed - not a major issue and worth it for having access to the terrace though! Overall, we would thoroughly recommend staying here! A hotel experience we will never forget - just a shame we had to return home really...

Spicers offers a wonderful venue for a corporate workshop. They have created a beautiful aesthetic that delivers a very warm and engaging ambience. I ran a workshop here in the conference room. The tech equipment was easy to use and they provided a white board and Flipchart with plenty of paper/pens. The staff provided impeccable service. The food and coffee were excellent. The meeting room would suit a small group (max of 10). A little slim courtyard running down the length of the room allows light and fresh air if required. Highly recommend this venue and would recommend it as a beautiful place to take your team when there is a need to spend focussed time together.

We stayed in two rooms at the hotel sandwiched between a couple of nights at the Spicers Sangoma Retreat. We really enjoyed our stays. The hotel is in a great location - much more atmospheric than staying in the CBD and still only a 40 minute walk to the Opera House. The hotel is set in three Victorian terrace houses nestled amongst other lovely old buildings and the whole of Potts Point has a relaxed vibe that is taken through into the hotel, both by the furnishings and the friendliness of all of the staff.||Breakfast was tasty and plentiful, though I do prefer a buffet (rather than a la carte).

Stayed here for 2 nights during our Australia trip at Victorian terrace suite. Room size and in room amenity was great, however cockroach was found in the room but quickly been deal with by staff.||Bedding does not have proper duvet - it was sheet plus two layers of blankets.||Parking was reserved and conveniently located on the back of the hotel, however it was very challenging to access parking lot when you come back late, as receiption close at 10pm.||Breakfast was a la cart with several hot options, it would be great to add some pastry!

A Hidden Gem in Potts Point Arriving from North America, we landed bright and early—7 AM to be exact. Knowing this in advance, we wisely booked an extra night to ensure a smooth arrival. After an 18-hour journey, the ability to freshen up with a quick shower and change before diving into the day is priceless. Trust me, it’s worth every penny. Now, onto the real highlight: Spicers Potts Point. Tucked away on a quiet, tree-lined street, this boutique hotel offers the perfect balance of tranquility and accessibility. You’re steps away from charming coffee shops, and within easy reach of downtown, the gallery, and the iconic Opera House—whether by train or a leisurely stroll. The ambiance is serene, the beds are luxuriously comfy, and the staff? Exceptionally attentive and always eager to help. If you’re the type who loves unique stays with a dash of character and a prime location for city exploration, this spot is a winner.
