North Sydney Harbourview Hotel

Good hotel in good location. Nice view over the harbour.

Perfectly fine room in a great location, just don't count on getting an unobstructed view of the Harbour Bridge unless you are lucky. You can definitely hear the trains even on the 10th floor, but not to the point where you'll notice it when you sleep. The walk to the Harbour Bridge can feel a bit seedy at night, but the location is close enough to most things you might want to see in central Sydney. Parking is a bit tight but nothing out of the ordinary.

This is a very nice hotel (and the view of the Harbor Bridge is gorgeous) but the location right above the train tracks (and at the point where the trains enter and exit the ground) means that there is incessant train noise for around 18 hours per day. In my first room, which was on the 1st floor (one level above the ground), the train noise was awful. When I checked in, the clerk claimed she didn't know whether it was a quiet room or not! The next morning I was moved to the 12th floor, which was a big improvement but still the train noise disturbed my sleep after the trains started running around 5am. The hotel simply should never have been built in this location.

Stay was good but reception staff although very efficient could have been a little friendlier.

Stayed here as we have had positive experiences previously and it is wonderfully positioned for our needs. The staff are professional and courteous and the parking is easy and convenient.
