“Great stay in a comfortable hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

I stayed here for three nights last week, when my usual hotel in North Sydney was booked out. I was very surprised by the quality of the rooms, they are nicely renovated and a good size, the bathroom was very functional and the room includes a fridge and a microwave and a suplly of plates, knives & forks etc. Foxtel is limited to two Fox Sports Channels and Skynews, so when they advertise limited stations they really mean it, and they don't receive the free to air digital channels.

The bed was very comfortable, the shower worked well and the rooms have opening windows, which I love. The hotel has free parking and the location is close to Artarmon railway station and buses along the Pacific Highway route. The hotel offered a shuttle to North Sydney at 7.15am each morning which was perfect for me getting to the office. To get back to the hotel I caught the train to Artarmon and it was about a 10 minute walk.

I have to gripe about the wifi fee of $18.00 per day, as hotels in Australia have to stop this rip-off.

I paid $115.00 per night for the room which I thought was great value, however I wouldn't pay the $310.00 shown on their website as the full rate.However they seem to heavily discount, for example next week has rates at $135.00.

I was a bit worried about the noise from the highway, as all the rooms face the Pacific Highway, however I was on level 3 (311) and I wasn't bothered by the noise even with the window left open. I suspect that maybe if you were on levels 1 or 2 you may hear more noise.

If you are looking for a really comfortable room, with free parking on the lower North Shore I would recommend this hotel highly, as long as you get a reasonable rate.

Room Tip: Ask for a room on the higher floors to avoid the noise from the highway.

The rooms are very comfortable, and they supply everything to make you stay complete !

“wonderful service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 November 2011

We were disembarked from a world cruise in Sydney in March 2011.
My husband was admitted to hospital there and I found myself alone in a strange place.The hotel Managers (who had only been there themselves only a few weeks) were wonderful.Nothing was too much trouble for them,even taking me to the Hospital..
When my husband was discharged from hospital we stayed in the hotel for a further week before our onward travel back to the UK and then home to Spain.
I think this person who complains about this management obviously has a personal grudge against these people..

Room Tip: Rooms on the south are quieter

“Nicely Refurbished”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 October 2011

We stayed here for 2 nights while visiting friends in Hunters Hill and Pymble, it is a good location from which to visit the north side of Sydney. The rooms have been recently redecorated, simple furnishing and overall nice. The bed was comfortable with a lovely new mattress and feather topper which made for a very good nights sleep. Make sure to request a quiet room, not on the side of the Pacific Hiway. You will have a nice view and not much traffic noise. It was nice to be able to open a window if you did not want air conditioning on. The room had microwave, cereal bowls, plates and cutlery, tea and coffee making facilities were provided. This allows you to have breakfast in the room or a snack. There is a fridge too. We did not visit the restaurant downstairs or use room service. There is someone at the desk 24 hours to help. I used the high speed broadband, 18dollars for 24 hours. I would go back again, free off street parking was a consideration in choosing this place. A good standard business style Hotel.

Room Tip: Request a Quiet Room not facing the Hiway.
