Great location with easy access to parking, very comfortable beds and clean facilties. Gorgeous Building and exeptionally helpful and kind staff. Rooms are small but great value for money! I have already booked my next stay here!

There was a light on out the fron of our room - which did make sleep difficult at first but We figured out how to close the blind a bit better.

I appreciated the convenient check-in and check-out process. The immediate neighbourhood of Potts Point is also nice.

The tiling around the floor wastes in the bathroom was pretty rough and could injure someone's foot. The bathroom door squeaked and took a bit of force to open. Removing the door closer would be helpful in keeping the door open - it's a very small space.

A truly elegant property. We had a large room so v spacious. Good location with restaurants and essential shops close. Uber to city $12 to 15. Lift to upper levels. Upper floor room with balcony gave a special feel. Free nibbles was a nice touch.

Some practical features like shelves esp in bathroom and easy clothes storage have been sacrificed for clean architectural style.

From the get go, the team was friendly and helpful and the hotel is conveniently located. My room was on ground level and had an outside entry, which I really liked. Lots of areas to put my clothes and luggage.

If I had to be picky, there were not enough power outlets and no USB outlet. The TV could be improved to include Chromecast.

The room was clean and tidy, I had the compact so was small as booked but more than enough for 1 person. Bed was ultra comfortable, shower was awesome with a great shower head and pressure. The only downfall is the parking. Having to drag my bags so far was the only let down.

Only the lack of parking. Staff were great. No complaints otherwise.

Great location within walking distance from Kings Cross station. The hotel is in a beautifully restored building that is very welcooming as soon as one arrives. Staff were friendly, courteous & helpful when checking in & out. The room itself was large enough for two people with comfortable bed, good wifi and a good bathroom. Waling distance to everything the area has to offer.

The bathroom itself while good, required a couple of stairs to enter. This the required a slight maneouvre to open the shower door itself. Understand why is has been designed this way however it felt a little awkward entering or leaving the bathroom itself.

Location, neighbourhood, building itself was lovely.

Rooms were quite pokey and not a lot of space. The bathrooms were tiny and it is clear why they don’t advertise these spaces. Water took at least 5-10 minutes to get hot and the pipes are very loud and squeaky. When another room is using the bathroom the showers are extremely loud.

Rooms are lovely. The exterior of the hotel is lovely. There are lovely restaurants around there in Potts Point.

I did specify a late check in and got to the hotel and there was no one on reception and the name my booking was under was incorrect. So that was a bit tricky. I had to call the emergency line to get someone to sort it out.

Beautifully presented boutique hotel in heritage building, tastefully decorated rooms. Bed very comfortable. No breakfast options, but not an issue as so many excellent cafes close by.

Despite the hotel clearly not being at full occupancy, we were disappointed to receive a room which was very small for the Queen room we booked, more like a Small Double. Space only for the bed and bureau, no in-room seating. There was a Guest Lounge downstairs but with very few (and not comfortable) chairs if you wanted to sit and relax somewhere. Our room was on the top floor, as far from the elevator as it could be, and up an additional 2 flights of stairs. For the high level of fitout, I would have expected more than instant coffee in the room, and more tiny milk sachets for a 2 night stay. Window was painted shut, so no fresh air option despite alluding to opening capability.

From the moment I walked in, the hotel felt thoughtfully curated. The subtle Country Road mahogany fragrance throughout the property created such a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and the luxurious bathroom amenities were a lovely touch. Every detail felt intentional, making the stay feel far more premium than expected. The staff were exceptional: warm, professional, and genuinely accommodating. Their hospitality made me feel valued from check-in to check-out. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and wouldn't hesitate to return or recommend Hotel Challis to anyone visiting Sydney.

Honestly, very little. If I had to mention anything, it would simply be that I wish I could have stayed longer. It was a wonderful experience overall.

Very elegant and a great location near cafes. Parking difficult and car park arrangement is a distance from accomodation. Apart from that the room and hotel was delightful. We had a balcony room with a partial harbour view lovely to sit outside and take in the Sydney view.

We didn't like the first room we had (bed was a double and so uncomfortable and the room too small) and the staff member was so helpful upgrading us to a slightly bigger room with a queen size bed which was much better.

Double bed in the first room. So uncomfortable. Also would like the common area near the reception open earlier as I had work to do on the laptop, and had to leave the hotel as common area was locked shut

It's an older building and they've lovingly restored it. They allowed me to leave my suitcase there after I checked out so I could go sightseeing without having to lug it around. The room is quiet and has a nice view. It was a nice place to relax and get some work done.

The room is rather small, and the bed takes up a large portion of it. It was fine, but it's something to be aware of.
