If you don't mind compromising on space but want unparalleled views of Sydney Harbour during your visit, without the expensive price tag of a 5 star hotel, then this is just the ticket. 

Nestled in the tree-lined neighbourhood of Potts Point (near Kings Cross) is this lovely apartment hotel called Macleay Hotel offered affordable and comfortable accommodation with a spectacular view. 

The hotel had an outdoor plunge pool and sun deck, perfect during the summer months. 

Potts Point is quite a well-to-do suburb with loads of eateries, cafe's and restaurant all within easy walking distance. The Kings Cross railway station is about 10 min walk away.
