Punthill North Shore Sydney

great for a short stay...located in a nice suburban area

Friendly and helpful staff, even when we arrived late and checked out at 5am. Very easy to find. Walking distance to Chatswood Chase. Not far from CBD and short drive to just about everywhere. Nicely renovated - does needs music or TV in the gym. Information provided in the folder (in room) needs updating. Overall a good experience.

Stayed ony the one night but the hotel is well located for anyone wishing to visit on the Nort side of the Harbour. Extremely close to the freeway entrance to the GForehill Freeway to Sydney. Staff were very helpful. The only issue which was out of the hotel's control was that the lift was unservicable due to a storm, which meant that guests had to carry thier own bags up the stairs to their rooms. Barring that, I would stay again.

The room was nice, modern and seemed clean. The bathroom was tiny. The room had been updated but overall some areas of the hotel felt tired. The free parking was a bonus.Met our needs though and would consider staying there again.

Good value, easy to locate and surprisingly quiet hotel given its location on a main road. Efficient airconditioner and friendly knowledgeable staff.

while me and my husband where visiting sydney over the new years celebrations. we decided to stay at this location, since offered what it looked like a 4 star type of accommodation but at a more reasonable price. Sadly this hotel[...] was totally unacceptable. the people at the front desk were rude and improvised. The restaurant wasn't open except for mornings and there was no staff to attend the most basic needs or questions we had. In particular, we requested an earlier check in if possible in the most humble way. The "gentlemen" at the front desk told us in a rude and agressive way. that was not able or possible to do anything other than assist to the check in until 2 pm sharp. which caused us unnecessary embarracemnet in front of other guests.

Having stayed at Punthill Northshore for 5 nights, I thought the rooms were decent and had the usual facilities you would expect of a hotel. Located 20 mins by train from the centre of Sydney, it may not be the best location for a tourist if you need to be where all the action is but there is free parking and if you are not averse to a 5-10 min walk up hill from Artarmon train station, it is a great place to commute to the city from. I would definately stay here again if I needed a car while in Sydney.

Cheap place to stay in Sydney. Free parking is good. Good location if you are driving, but a bit noisy as it is on one of Sydney's main arterial roads during the day. The cleanliness of this place is questionable and I won't be staying here again because of this.

it was ok service a little lacking i thought i was getting continental breakfast and did not am checking my records to e-mail them back for refund on extra charges i was not told about until we were leaving which was very disappointing to get a bill as we webt out the door we did not expect

Reception: Bad experience at this hotel, would not stay again. The reception desk was not helpful at all -- they did not know any information about how to get around Sydney, how to go to and from the airport. You would think that of all things to know, they would know how to get to the airport via public transportation -- but they did not know anything about fares, transportation times, transfer points. Since Punt Hill hotel is located in North Sydney, it should be very convenient to get to Manly Beach. However, the hotel staff did not know bus information to get there and ended up giving us wrong directions. Location: The hotel is not in a very good location, it is at least 7 mins walk to train station -- which would be fine, but is a bit challenging after a long day and the walk to and from is hilly. Since transportation can be quite expensive in Sydney, just getting to the City Center from the hotel will cost you at least $10.00 -- so the location isn't ideal. Cleanliness: We found a cockroach on our bed on the last day. Even though overall the room was clean, the fact that we found a cockroach makes me question the hotel's sanitation. Overall, I would say that the staff is not helpful, cleanliness is a factor, and the location is not good.
