- AMAZING VIEWS
by sirgaw about HARBOURVIEW HOTEL
I had previously stayed at this property when it was the North Sydney Travelodge and had well remembered the amazing views overlooking the magnificent harbour, Sydney Harbour Bridge, Circular Quay and the city as a back drop for the scene. The view has not changed, but the hotel has. Now called The Harbourview Hotel it is listed as a 4 star property, but I feel it deserves at least another half star for its rating – and certainly the room we had for 5 nights.
King sized bed, luxury furnishings including a wide screen TV, well appointed and spacious bathroom, tea/coffee making facilities, bar sized fridge, in room safe and the real seller is the great view (see main photo on my Sydney page - it was taken from our room).
We dined in the hotels’ restaurant one evening and found the prices about average for the standard and quality - again a great view. Piano bar, spacious guest lounge and 24 hour business centre on site.
The hotel is located above the North Sydney rail station (station entrance is 1 minute walk) with direct connection to the city of Sydney and interchange with other lines at Wynyard or Town Hall stations - trip to Town Hall station is about 5 minutes. Across the street from the hotel is a shopping centre which includes a supermarket, food court, fresh food market and 50 or so specialty shops.
On site parking available ($15 per day) and conference facilities.
Perhaps the only down side of the hotel is the rumbling of trains, although we stayed on the 8th level and it was not an issue for us. The real seller for this hotel is the view.
Excellent value for money

We stayed at The Travelodge,Wentworth Avenue for 6 nights at the beginning of January,the hotel staff were excellent as was the location,it was central and only 100 metres from Hyde Park,a lovely park to walk through en route to Sydney Harbour.The room was very good and included small kitchen area,iron etc.The breakfast in the hotel was excellent.
Directly across the road is a bar that serves lunches and is open till late.
We were very pleased with our stay,the prices were good value and we would come back to this hotel in the future.
Excellent hotel in convenient location

We enjoyed five nights at the Sydney Travelodge on Wentworth Avenue. The location is excellent being within easy walking distance of the CBD through Hyde Park, Darling Harbour, Oxford Street restaurants and Museum Railway Station is three minutes walk away where one can catch a train to Circular Quay.
We were given a room on the top floor (18th) and enjoyed interesting views of the city and beyond. The room was very quiet, in fact we heard no noise at all from the street or adjoining rooms. The room was simple but very comfortable and clean. The provision of microwave, crockery and cutlery is excellent for those on a budget and we found a Coles Supermarket eight minutes walk away where we purchased food. There are a number of smaller more expensive convenience stores closer to the Hotel.
Our room was serviced each day and we enjoyed coming back to our room each evening after a busy day sightseeing and finding fresh towels etc.
Overall, we found the Sydney Travelodge to be good value for money. It is a good, basic, no frills Hotel.
One of the best Travelodges

I found this hotel to be modern, clean, good value and with relatively spacious rooms with microwave oven and a few added bonuses. For a travelodge (don't expect five stars) this reprensents a decent affordable stay in on of the worlds great cities.
The only real downside to this hotel is it's location in one of the poorer more eastern areas of central Sydney. but i feel this hotel is good value with good service and i would definately stay here again.
