alberts and victorias bed and breakfast in potts point
a nice leafy street
a short walk ( probably longer than the adverstised 10 minutes) to the sights round the harbour and the rooms are very pleasant charming breakfast area in a courtyard some rooms face onto this courtyard so ask if youd prefer a window to the outside the room we visited had a fireplace small room but decent sized bed small bathroom but if i were visiting sydney it seemed like a great place to stay good coffee shop - 'dove' next door, a laundromat and what looked like a lovely restaurant across the road plenty of backpacker places too went into the blue chili they wanted 70 dollars aud a night for a private room with shared facilities i think the bed and breakfast was 140 a night- 25 rooms if i heard correctly impressive building well maintained victorian terrace was nice to be able to see something firsthand - see what sydney has to offer our visitors |
So is this kind of supporting a place you visited but did not stay long enough to check out the plumbing nor soundproofness let alone if rooms were a bit on the stuffy side when in them for a while, like overnight.
Air conditioning? or ceiling fan? |
it did have aircon
we were dropping friends off and they invited us in for a visit - we checked out the building in general and their room they are elderly and are finding the place very good for their needs especially cos they could get a room on the ground floor with only a few steps up to the front door id stay there - it is the kind of area i like- leafy and has a bit of atmosphere despite being near kings cross it isnt seedy - which was their fear i havent ever been in a city bed and breakfast so it was just an opportunity i took to have a look for myself the breakfasts served are cold - cereals, croissants and breads that you can toast with spreads, preserved fruit - included in the nightly tariff |
lanejohann, that sounds like the B&B/small hotel that's usually referred to as Victoria Court Hotel - www.victoriacourt.com.au Is that right?
If so, I've spoken to many overseas tourists who've been very happy with it, and I know the location is great, nowhere near the "seedy" part of the Cross. Thanks for posting. |

hmmm im not sure it had a sign out the front - a doublesided pic of victoria - poor albert wasnt featured it had a wrought iron fence - looked like two terrace buildings i didnt note the street number but it was next to the Dove cafe mustve been in victoria street - thatd make sense |
ok just found their business card - yep matches your link
good on you for pasting that! youre right on the ball - could make a career out of it, you could! |
Great B & B in Sydney called B & B Sydeny Harbour The Rocks. Great area, short walk via steps to harbour, lots of shops & restaurants close. Variety of rooms & prices, have kept charactor of area, breakfast in lovely garden. Highly recommend.
