in the East area (Kings Cross):

Golden Apple & Tudor Court,

GA is 169 Victoria St, Potts Point. 9357 2555.
TC is in tusculum st just down road.(large brothel 10 rooms each). Being situated in Kings Cross, which can get rough at night with drunks etc, it charges about $100 just to enter the place. This fee comes off the hourly rate if you decide to stay however if you find nothing you like you won’t get a refund. I find this practise particularly galling and hence will not visit the place on principle. A bit of a tourist trap. This person also owns Laisons and he may try to introduce this policy there. Basically the only people that go to this place are tourists. Service is average but if you are staying in the area and can’t be bothered to go to Surry Hills it may be worth a shot but only if you are desperate.

I visited this place despite knowing about the policy quoted above for at least research purposes to see if their advertising claims of having the best girls was even remotely true.

They placed me in a small booth where I sat alone for about 10 minutes, the whole time thinking I probably just wasted money and regretting my decision to visit. After the wait, the receptionist returned to tell me that no girls were available and they gave me a full refund.

I also took the metro here with the station only a few blocks away, so at least I didn't waste money on cab fare, either.

I won't return here again as long as they have this prepayment policy in place.
