Simpsons was great. Very friendly and the owners were extremely helpful, providing a very handy 'oreintation' session and recommending restaurants and walks. It's not in the CBD but the walk into the city is lovely (takes around 10-15 minutes) and the hotel is near plenty of bars and restaurants in any case. Highly recommended, especially given the prices of some...

I can’t believe that anyone would have any complaints about Simpson’s of Potts Point. I know, everyone has a focus area, but you can’t please every single whim, and I think that they did a very good job of taking care of what should be important. I’ve read the other reviews, and to say that this place is expensive is...

WoW !
How good is that!
It is always uplifting to receive compliments, and we are very appreciative of this Guest's very kind words, and are also very glad indeed that she obviously enjoyed her stay in Potts Point, and at "Simpsons".
As I have said before, we think Potts Point is a very pleasant neighbourhood, and a good place...

First visited Sydney in 2008 and chose Simpsons from among others. We were not disappointed. Friendly and very helpful hosts (nothing is too much trouble). Great location for exploring the city.
Made a return visit to Sydney February 2012 - there was only one place to stay: Simpsons.

The greatest compliment to a hotelier is to have return guests !
We remember these lovely Scottish guests well, and we are very glad that they also remembered us.
Thankyou!

There is no doubt that Potts Point deserves its nickname as "Sydney Restaurant Headquarters"!
Within a five-minutes walk from "Simpsons" there are over thirty cafes and restaurants, catering to all tastes and budgets.
In Challis Avenue alone there are five well regarded places. We have several favourite ones; modern Australian, seafood, Italian, Thai, Japanese, and we are always happy to...

We had a short city break to Sydney and staying at Simpsons was great - a very personal, friendly approach which is hard to find in a big city. The location is great for getting to the city centre. The hotel is in a quiet area and is close to shops / cafes but not noisy at night. All in...

We always appreciate it when guests take the time to write a Review, as it does help future enquirers to get an idea of us, especially when combined with our website and video.
Potts Point is an eclectic, friendly area, with all the neighbourhood conveniences; supermarket, corner stores, delicatessens, banks, laundries, etc. as well as interesting little boutiques and shops,...

Quiet, great rooms, good breakfast, parking available, friendly staff, alright location--near the water yet a bit of a walk to downtown. Overall, great find in Sydney.

Always rewarding to get pleasant, succint Reviews. We believe the Potts Point area is a great place to stay if you do need to be right in the City.
It is a very pleasant stroll along the waterfront and past the Art Gallery (ten minutes), to Martin Place and Macquarie Street (fifteen minutes) which is at the edge of the...

Simpsons is a delightful place to stay if you enjoy heritage listed architecture and service how it should be! Perfect location in Sydney with easy walking access to delights of Sydney Harbour and botanical gardens. Potts Point was full of yummy delis and cafes. My room was on the top floor but was perfect for my needs - a good...

We are pleased that this guest enjoyed her stay with us. There is no doubt that if you do not need to stay right in the middle of the city (amongst the high-rise buildings and busy pedestrian and motor traffic!), then Potts Point is a great alternative.
We particulary enjoy the 20-mins. stroll into town, along the Woolloomooloo harbour foreshore...

If you want a small intimate luxury hotel full of character and charm in vibrant residential area with good restaurants and shops within walking distance of central Sydney this is a beautiful venue.
The hosts Keith and Marie are friendly and knowledgeable (except for ornithology) and are eager to make your stay as pleasant as possible. Would love to have...

Thanks for this friendly Review. Sorry about the lack of ornithicogical knowledge ! I will have to brush-up on it !
Especially as we have a surprising adundance of birdlife for a densely populated area. I think the reason for this is that the Royal Botanic Gardens are less than a mile away, which is no distance at all if...

Only metres from the sometime frenzy of Macleay Street, Simpson's is a dignified but relaxed retreat in a leafy part of one of Sydney's more fascinating precincts. The hotel has been tailored into a late-Victorian/Arts and Crafts mansion which offers privacy, casual comfort and a personal rapport with the owners and management.
Simpson's is not the place for those who...

We appreciate the balanced Review this guest has written, which seems to sum up "Simpsons", and the Potts Point area, very fairly and articulately.
We ourselves enjoy this local neighbourhood, with its interesting cafes, restaurants and shops, and its convenient proximity to the city.
We do enjoy giving ideas to visitors, and hope that they can leave with a good...

Beautiful charming property with lots of atmosphere a drawing room with plenty of character and good furnishings port and sherry for guests enjoyment. Our bedroom was good size - the down side was the beds were just so uncomfortable to get a good nights rest and for me that is the main priority-upon leaving we found some sort of bed...

We are glad that these English guests enjoyed our charming old home and the vibrant Potts Point neighbourhood, and do appreciate their compliments, but are very sorry that they did not find the beds comfortable.
They had originally booked for five nights, but in the end decided on just one night. They specifically requested a King-bed room configured as two...
