Where can I start? This is the best hotel I have ever stayed in. It's most like having friends of friends invite you to stay at their lovely big house with your own bit of the house to come and go as you please!
Nothing was too much trouble for Vanessa and Keith, and they were both truly welcoming and generous with their time, trouble and attention. We benefited most from Vanessa (simply because of the times/ days we were at the hotel), who recommended things to do etc.
The room was beautiful as was the whole place. Incidentally, there's access to a PC for the internet.
I can wholeheartedly recommend that you stay here! the location was perfect, just a short stroll from the botanical gardens and from there to the city centre and the bay.

This is a short review as so much has been said in other reviews about this excellent hotel We particularly liked the friendliness and help from Keith ,Marie and Vanessa who helped us celebrate our friends 60th and gave good advice on restaurants and everything else After a hard day there are good restaurants within five minutes walk and it is a lovely walk through the Botanic Gardens to the Opera House . Beats getting the bus.
A lovely atmosphere here surrounded by quality furniture in a historic house. You cannot beat it

Simpsons is an elegant Victorian hotel located in a quiet street close to the harbour and Kings Cross. The staff are professional, helpful and unobtrusive. The rooms are large and nicely furnished. It is like staying in a gentleman's club - very elegant, understated and quiet.
A healthy Continental breakfast is served in the conservatory and fresh flowers perfume the foyer.
Highly recommended.

The house was lovely the rooms quite nice. We booked the B&B having read Tripadvisor recommendation and weren't disappointed. The location is perfect - just a short walk through Botanical Gardens to city centre. The staff (particularly Vanessa) were very helpful.
Not a first class hotel but certainly very good value for money B&B in expensive city.
Only slight problem for us, admittedly VERY light sleepers, was there was some traffic noise - which could be remedied by secondary double glazing - obviously you wouldn't want to change the original, beautiful windows.
Definitely recommend to anyone visiting Sydney.
Agree with earlier reviewer that Lilianfels is wonderful but don't forget it's more than twice the price of Simpsons.
