North Sydney Hotel

I stayed here with a friend and was a little worried as it is above a hotel with shared bathrooms but was pleasantly surprised. There were no noise issues, everyone was respectful of the shared kitchen and we only shared the (clean and tidy) bathroom with a few other rooms. Our beds were comfortable and there was a nicely sized kitchen and lounge where you can make some toast or cereal or have a tea or coffee. They even had gluten free bread and wheat bix which was a nice touch. In terms of location, it was close to what we came for but isn't as close as some hotels to the city. It is a good price, though, and it is not too far to walk to the train or you can get a bus, and there is a nice park across from the hotel. There is a nice Cafe called 63 degrees around the corner which we highly recommend, but lots of others close by as well. Not wheelchair friendly as we needed to carry our luggage up some stairs and there was a step to get inside, but a lovely hotel for our purposes. Easy check-out - we just left the key in our room.
