2-Star Hotels in North Sydney

We stayed here for 3 nights whilst in Sydney. We stayed in room 2, and whilst it was a smallish room, it was compact and nicely decorated and everything felt clean. In our room we had a TV, a modern bathroom with a rain shower, and space to hang a few things. We had an aircon unit that we didn’t use as the weather was very cool. The linen was clean and fresh, but the bed was a tad small and not the most comfortable. We liked the communal kitchen area and it was nice to help ourselves to tea / coffee, cereals and bread and preserves. In this area, there was also a communal fridge, microwave, kettle and toaster. The rooms were made up daily, and there is the option to change out your towels. The location is convenient for the North Sydney train stop, and there are lots of frequent bus routes near to the hotel, so the hotel is in a great location. Given that this hotel has a popular pub area below, the sound proofing below was excellent but we did hear our neighbours in the adjacent room which did disturb our sleep temporarily. The food in the hotel is excellent and we had the best fish and chips here. This hotel is fantastic value for money and a great place for a short stay in Sydney.

I stayed in the lodge for a month for a work course. It is modest accomodation, as you would expect given it is so much more affordable than other accomodation options. The shared bathroom areas look new and were immaculately clean at all times. The kitchen area was also clean. The lodge was quiet and I slept well each night. The staff were all friendly and helpful and lovely people. I would stay at the lodge again if in Sydney for an extended period.

Stay for 4 days and let cleaning cost 25 knives. Free for 7 days. Later I used my own mattress. Check out the next day. So no more cleaning. Dozens of knives an hour in Australia, considerate. Great location, quiet and comfortable. Public toilets and bathrooms are clean and tidy. There are dryers, washing machines, 2 knives into coins at a time. The large refrigerator refrigerates its own things, and the kitchen supplies are all in it. You can make and buy food yourself. Toothpaste slippers come with a small towel. Live next time. Within 90 nights, great value. The front desk staff can speak Cantonese or Mandarin. There is no elevator and the big luggage moves by itself. There are several toilets, bathrooms, shared, all in one Lou. Careful choice of going to the bathroom at night.

The room is ok, we are the hotel at 8 o'clock in the evening. But there was no one at the front desk, only the envelope was left, and there was an introduction to our keys and a room. Had to press the call, the voice of an old man, can not tell the words, exchanged for a long time and finally successfully checked in. Wi-Fi is not free, it’s horrible. Fortunately, I have my own portable Wi-Fi. There is still time to take a taxi to see the light show of the opera house. Take a taxi to the opera house and it will look like a dozen Australian dollars.

Over all excellent on most other aspects of our stay. Outstanding selection of breakfast foods and beverages. Evening meal took longer than expected due to staff shortages. My lamb evening meal was a little under cooked, but the staff member was only too happy to have that addressed.

very convenient location at north sydney, short Uber ride to CBD or Darling Harbour. Staff professional, pleaseant and friendly. very convenient food court downstairs and good variety of food in in house restaurant & cafe. lovely outdoor pool area, sunny and private.

Since its renovations this hotel now feels very slick and stylish. The rooms look great with its modern look, while still giving off warm and welcoming vibes. Beds are comfortable, and newly renovated bathrooms look great. Unfortunately, all of this aesthetic appeal is let down somewhat by the staff. I was barely greeted or acknowledged by the reception staff, and I was made to feel like I was interrupting them. There was no offer of help for my luggage or even recognition that someone with 2 large suitcases (and a child) would need assistance. The rooms no longer have phones inside them. Rather, the phone number to reception was provided during check-in. This normally wouldn't be an issue, however it seems like they just don't like answering their phone. I tested this theory myself by going into the lobby and calling the reception. Neither staff were attending to guests, and yet I can very plainly see the phone flashing and being ignored. I loved the decor and stylish touches of this new-look Rydges. Sadly, my most memorable experience from this hotel was rolling the hotel baggage cart to my room by myself to take down my luggage.

Great hotel with amazing rooms and lovely customer service. Accomodated everyone across two floors for a wedding. Will definitely be back to stay again .

This is a nice hotel, very clean and new, smart rooms, very lovely staff. Bed was comfy. Partial view of the harbour from my room on the 18th floor - I could see sections of water between buildings. The lighting in the bathroom is terrible if you need to put on some make up, and I'm not really a fan of showers with no door, but that seems to be the trend and they are minor quibbles.

The amenities and all utilities provided were very good, The rooms were clean and decent sized, Staff was cordial and helpful. The best part is its location. Close proximity to the Harbour bridge, markets, malls - everything is stone's throw away. Enjoyed my stay fully.
