Budget Ensuite”

I found the compact room to be one of the best deals on getting an ensuite close to the CBD at a cheap (>130$) price. The room was obviously quite small and had no views, but had all the basics like minifridge, TV and lamp. Rest of the hotel looked clean enough. Staff were friendly. And a good location in Pott's Point.

Potts Point Gem”

Great location, plenty of dining options nearby , close to transport. Surprisingly quiet at night and beds are comfortable, room on the small side. No extra facilities though sufficient for my needs.
