Holiday Inn has a great location. It is in the centre of Kings Cross. So if you like the nightlife then this is the place for you - so convenient and easy to get home to. If you're after relaxation then I would skip this place, despite being quiet.

The rooms are quiet, large and the clean. A very pleasant stay.

Staff are extremely pleasant and helpful. The hotel is secure and has many facilities. Breakfast buffet looks good, but being in the middle of Kings Cross you have so many options. There are plenty of small cafe's close all offering full breakfasts. So spoilt for choice. The prices range, so there is a good selection for all types.

Top spot, right price, nice place.

I've stayed here a number of times over the years and always found it to be a well-run hotel.

In about 2000 it was where the top bands for the Big Day Out stayed so it's a decent place.

One thing I would watch out for - if you check in after midnight the staff seem to make you pay well above the advertised rate.

One night I went to the desk and asked the price. Two hours later I came back with my bags and the price for a room had jumped $60.

We spent four nights at the Potts point Hoilday Inn as part of our stays in Sydney.
The 'room with a view' was excellent and we loved opening the black out blinds every morning and watching the sun coming up over a wonderful city.
The room was a good size, bed comfy, bathroom spotless.
Room service was also good.
The breakfast within the hotel (which was extra) was really tasty and probably the best we had whilst on our travels.
The area is within easy walking distance of the centre of town and also next to the train station so you can hop on a train to darling harbour and connect easily with the monorail if you fancy.
The area - compared to Kings Cross - was a little adult but fun and we did not feel uncomforatble or unsafe.
Overall this hotel offers an excellent stay and we would recommend it if you are looking for a middle of the range hotel for your stay in Sydney.

We stayed here for 2 nights in July 2007. Our room was on the first floor of the (older?), low-rise wing, facing onto Victoria Street, but we were not disturbed by traffic noise. The room and bathroom were comfortable and appear to have been recently updated.

While some previous reviewers have commented on the salubriousness of the area (or lack thereof), we found as long as we ventured south down Victoria Street (turn right when you leave the hotel) we didn't come across any sights unsuitable for our 6-year old.

We didn't eat at the hotel restaurant, but on Victoria Street I would
recommend Malabar (Indian cuisine) for dinner, and the excellent Tropicana Caffe for breakfast. With our jet lag, we really appreciated that they could serve us delicious 'flat whites' and hot croissants at 6am!
