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.

From my first enquiry email (booking a room) through to our early morning departure at the end of our stay, Keith, Marie & Vanessa gave us friendly service and advice to cram as much as possible into our 4 days of "exploring Sydney". The hotel is beautifully restored and a welcome departure from the modern purpose- built, big chain clones. Our king-sized room at the back of the hotel was comfortable and bright, with writing table, sofa, and provision for tea and coffee making. The ensuite was small but spotless, the room quiet, and the staff unobstrusively helpful. Free internet access was available in the downstairs lounge/reading room 24/7. A delightful stay and a definite "will return".
