Spicers Potts Point

The staff were great.

Extremely charming -not a hotel but a home away from home

Great boutique in a lovely area near bars and restaurants and historic architecture. The large, beautifully appointed rooms are immaculate and in tip-top condition. The staff members were extremely personable and helpful. Breakfast was excellent, cooked to order, and happy hour with other guests was an added treat.

Great location in Potts Point, a really nice boutique hotel. The rooms are really large, bathroom was huge, shame didn't use the bath. Happily stay again

This hotel feels like a home from home. Super comfortable, stylish and amazing staff. There was a problem with my room caused by previous guests that was not the hotel’s fault. They handled it with transparency and were very kind to me about the whole thing. I’d definitely come back. Also the beds are so comfortable!

Really happy with our stay at Spicers. Loved that it was in the city but felt out of the way with the lovely tree lined streets. Close to great cafes like Thai Power and Tuyos. Walking distance to grocery stores, Kings Cross station and Royal Botanical Gardens. The hotel does have stairs but they insisted on bringing our bags up so that was nice. The handcrafted welcome drink was lovely and the cupcakes in the room were delicious. Comfy bed and pillows, big screen tv. Very helpful and friendly staff. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.

The vibe of this small hotel is obviously to ‘feel like you are at home’. I think that might well be an attraction for a longer stay but in hindsight we probably would have appreciated a traditional hotel for only two nights - for instance a fully functional bar to be served drinks, rather than an honesty bar, and then the standard five star (I’m not sure how they say they are five star!?) expected inclusions like a coffee machine in the room and complimentary bottled water were missed. These days it feels like a rip off if these bare basics are not included - for $600 a night!!! The renovation has been beautifully and artfully done, no question, but that price tag is indeed questionable! And it was a rate booked well in advance too. Maybe it’s to cover the cost of the very nice Leif products The bathroom and large bath were lovely but the sliding door wouldn’t completely close and had a weird door/curtain combo that was quite irritating and not user friendly when you are in a rush. The hotel produces a nice little publication of recommended eateries etc in the area so definitely pick that up when you check in; it led us to The Butler across the road, a gem of a place for a drink with a great view and all-ages atmosphere. Not that the person who checked us in pointed it out or gave it to us….she didn’t show any enthusiasm or do anything to make us feel like we’d made a good choice choosing Spicers indeed or Potts Point generally (which, as well as the Spicers facade itself, has really lovely pockets of beauty architecture-wise). She used the bare essential words she needed to for the check in process. It’s not in the booklet, but to get good coffee definitely go and try Primary Coffee, not far away.  Obviously boutique hotels suit certain preferences and we have stayed in many, but for the $$$s spent we left wanting this time.

Very classy boutique hotel, close to train and the city and all the charm of Potts Point. Awesome staff, always helpful. Love it!!
