I stayed here for 16 nights in April/May with my parents (who are in their 70s) and we all loved this hotel. Granted it is above a train station and there are trains regularly passing underneath it, but we had seen previous warnings about this and asked for rooms on the 10th floor. I wore earplugs to be on the... More

This is the nosiest hotel i have every stayed in. Despite being on the 14th floor i could here every train and every train whistle. If you only want to sleep between midnight and 5.50am then you will be fine. That is as long as you have no-one in the room beside you who leaves the TV on until 2.30am... More

We again stayed at the Harbourview North Sydney on Saturday night. We had Room 1301 which is a corner room with a magnificent view overlooking Lavender Bay and the Sydney Harbour Bridge. We always request a corner room and have been lucky on each occasion. Check-in was quick, easy and pleasant. The restaurant is closed on weekends for lunch but... More

Great location for a visiting tourist - ask for a high-floor room to improve the view and reduce the train noise. But at this price level it was irritating to have a surcharge for paying by ordinary credit card and to charge $25 per day for internet use in the room is ridiculous. The staff seemed embarrassed by this and... More

Stayed just one night at the end of March. Location is absolutely terrific vis-a-vis the train. Rooms were above average for the price, and close to a great pub, and a number of eating spots. If back in town, will definitely come here again. More

After a 7 hour drive from western NSW, our check in was quick and effortless. Staff were great as was the view of the harbour. Stayed on 5th floor..sure you can hear trains a little - but after a while you don't even notice them (after all - the city is full of noise.) Buffett breakfast was good with an... More

I stayed at the North Sydney Harbourview Hotel because I wanted to see the sights of Sydney before flying out. I'll join the chorus and say the views are fantastic and I found the location very convenient for restaurants and for getting to the bridge and cbd. Being close to the train station meant hearing them from time to time,... More

We stayed at the Harbourview when visiting Sydney in March. The views, as mentioned in a number of other reviews, are fantastic. We had an end room on one of the higher floors and it was extremely quiet. The room was large, even with the added roll-away and everything was nice and modern. The proximity to amenities was really an... More

Well, the hotel has a railway track running below. The sound is sometimes annoying. However, the hotel is very good. Had a very good stay and enjoyed it. You have very good views of the Sydney CBD and the Bridge. The breakfast spread is good. The rooms are spacious. The counter staff was very pleasing and helpful. The hotel is... More
