North Shore Hotel Sydney

schönes Mittelklassehotel, schöne Lage am Park un. freundliches Personal

Older building but very clean.All we needed for overnight stay.Very cold on the night we stayed but no extra blankets.Reception closes very early.

This was average accomodation - well located - and suited our need at the time

The people were friendly. The rooms are very small & the shower screen doors fell off as soon as I opened them. I assume that bthe cleaner would've noticed this whence last in the room. Otherwise quite okay.

This is a very old building with no acoustic insulation whatsoever. My room had a connecting door to the next room (which I wasn't using) and I could hear my neighbour's alarm clock activate every morning at 5am as if it were in my own room. The top of the window had no glass, just wire screen and so I could hear the dishes being prepared every morning before breakfast. Apart from that, the dead cockroach in the cupboard and the mould on the bathroom mirror it was a cheap, friendly place to stay. The location was great, walking distance to shops, pubs, restaurants and a large park directly opposite.

I find NSHS to be very convenient. buses are virtually at the front of the building, just a short bus trip to Milsons Point and then a quick ferry trip to many locations.

[...]. In the U.S. I put a Motel 6, or a Super 8 Motel at about a 2-star accommodation. This room that I am sitting in now is FAR INFERIOR to a typical Motel 6 room. The room is not well maintained: - paint is peeling off the walls and ceiling- The furniture is old and rickety with paint peeling- I am sitting on the floor as I write this email because the room is so small, I had to put my luggage on the desk- There are black scuff marks on the walls- The bathroom is so small I (who is 5'7") can touch all 4 walls while standing in the middle of the bathroom.- The shower is so small my wife (who is pregnant) had to squeeze her way out the shower door (I've seen larger showers on boats)- The walls are painted brick which gives it that 'prison' ambiance- The lights are turned on and off by a string hanging from the ceiling (classy!)- The mini shampoo bottle was not full- I have to snake my way to the bathroom between my luggage because there is no place for the bags to go- The TV is at least 25 years old, lacks a remote, and not all the push-button channels work (this should be in a vintage shop, not a 3-star hotel)- The toilet seat is old and flimsy, and looks as if it was purchased at the "Dollar Store" years ago, along with the shelving, mirror, and shower head- There is some sort of school behind the hotel that our only window backs against and we were awoken in the middle of the night by two large vehicles just outside our window- The toilet gets stuck in 'flush' sometimes and you must pop the button out to make it stop- Upon arrival we asked to change rooms but upon seeing our other choices we decided our current room was 'best'- We paid $5/hr for internet and service was intermittent so I can't even send this letter to you until we go to a proper internet cafe- The phone book in the drawer is from 2003On the bright side, the bed and sheets were clean and the people seemed nice.I am not asking for my money back, but is there any way I can avoid staying here another 3 nights (the dates I have already booked) and stay somewhere else instead? Normally, I am not a hotel snob. In fact, I regularly stay at Motel 6. I just feel the price and 3 star rating did not live up the promised level of quality nor your company's high standards. In addition, my wife is pregnant and I really want her to be comfortable. I will stay anywhere in Sydney near public transport that is around $100/night. Thanks for hearing me out.
