What guests think

At The North Shore Hotel, travellers consistently praise the convenient, walkable location near public transport and cafes, along with friendly, helpful staff and reasonable pricing, while noting the property’s older character and simple, no-frills setup.

Cleanliness feedback is mixed: many describe tidy rooms, but others report dated fittings, musty smells, pests, or missed housekeeping. Rooms vary from very small to spacious, with an old-house feel; noise between rooms and maintenance issues such as loud fridges or unreliable air-conditioning appear in several reviews. Parking is limited or off-site and stairs are common, so access can be awkward. Expect a budget-friendly, convenient base with basic comforts.

Although the street address is on a busy road, the guest rooms face a quiet back street, which only become noisy around 8:00AM. I really appreciated the cleanliness of the property, because I suffer from a dust allergy. The area is delightful, and the Mater Hospital is only a short walk away. There is a good bistro at the North Sydney Hotel on the corner. Only drawback is that on-site car parking at the Hotel costs $35.00 per day (which appears to be a standard all-day rate for nearby carparks). However, there is ample on-street parking in the road behind the hotel, which is unlimited between 6:00PM and 8:30AM.

Charming and quirky, yes, but this a basically an old wooden building and that means creaky floors and no insulation. The noise coming from the other guests was really bad. Also, there was limited parking outside and the surrounding streets. The man on reception suggested the metered parking across the street (there was none free) or a car park down the street. That’s where we ended up and were expecting to pay $70 over night. Turns out it’s free on the weekends, something the staff should have known and told us!

Parking procedure a bit awkward. Parking is nearby, not at actual premises, which you find out about only on arrival, and hard to find; then have to carry your stuff back to accommodation. Limited parking in a tight area.

This was our second stay here. The first time was great - a small, cosy, clean room. This time? The same cost/level of room, but a dungeon. Hair from a previous occupant was smeared over the shower, light bulbs didn’t work, aircon blew hot air only, there was no fire extinguisher outside. It was appalling.

The room was very run down and dirty. Basin is about to fall off the wall, mattress is so bad that springs poke you in the back. Floor drain in bathroom floor completely broken out and could cause a trip hazard, shower door not engaged on bottom rail, waiting to fall out. Architraves rotten around window in bathroom, tiles pulling away from wall in bathroom. The front door is hard to open and close, carpets sticky when walking barefoot, very dirty. Nowhere enough parking for the amount of room. Road noise really bad making it a very unpleasant stay

Only problem was the bathroom light was broken and barely hanging on the the roof and only the fan came on when the light switch was flicked. Otherwise bed was nice and heard almost zero noise the whole night.

A lovely reasonably priced hotel - hard to find in Sydney now. I moved from a bleak overpriced motel into this place and loved it. Historic building - I stayed in a lovely large room at the front. Simple and not fancy / ultra modern but had everything I needed, with some real charm as well. I know the neighbourhood well/ nice amenities ( opposite park) and good transport links to the city.

I really enjoyed staying here. Feels more like a home than a hotel. Rooms are basic but have all that you need. Buses at your door step or a 12-15min walk to North Sydney station. Staff are super friendly and very helpful. Definitely would stay here again. And priced very well for the area. Some really great cafes near by and a pub with good food only a minutes walk away.
