Really enjoyed our stay here. Great location right at North Sydney Station so easy to access. A short walk down the hill into Lavender Bay takes you right to the shore where you can walk to Luna Park, Milsons Point and McMahons Point (with ferry wharves on both points). North Sydney has a bit of a CBD feel without a lot of life, however there are a couple of supermarkets easy walking distance, and there are plenty of eating choices not too far away.
Brilliant view over Sydney from the room. Although we were only on level 5 (of 14), the building is high up so I think all south facing rooms would have a good view. The room was very clean and in excellent condition. This is a mid-range hotel but great value in this location. We didn't use them but there's a nice bar and the restaurant looks pretty good too.
One point: the building sits literally on top of North Sydney Station so there is occasional train rumbling. It didn't bother us, and wasn't overly frequent, but it is there. On the other hand, North Sydney is a lot quieter than Sydney city on the other side of the harbour with zero traffic noise.
