Great hotel. Gorgeous inside and out. The staff very accommodating. Exceptional value for money. Eat nearby at Fei Jai, excellent Asian food. It would have been nice to be able to access the coffee making facilities before 8am. Make sure you take a morning break walk to wards the Opera House. Would definitely book again.

Hotel Challis is a jewel. I love the area of Potts Point which has fantastic access to transit and to the city centre and pretty shops. Excellent coffee with exceptionally friendly service at La Bomba just around the corner. The bed was very comfortable and the room was small but had everything my husband and I needed. Highly recommended.

Beautiful spot to be located for the weekend. Walking distance to the botanical gardens and the opera house. Lots of shops and restaurants locally. Parking was ok but need to be on the lookout for a good spot! Lovely, clean and quiet rooms. All the amenities required were available.
