Dalziel Lodge - North Sydney

I had 16 nights here so definately got the feel of the place. The hotel itself is a very nice, colonial style building with nice decor and vibe. It's set in North Sydney, with easy access to a few cafes and shops and a slightly longer walk to some bigger city type businesses. Excellent access and public transport made this a great hub for me, visiting friends and the city in general. It's the best value I could find weighing up cost Vs comfort. There is also a lovely park nearby that is great for morning walks. The hotel has a communal kitchen and bathrooms. There are plenty of bathrooms/showers but the trade-off is that some showers and rooms are quite small, requiring some inventive use of the space. There is a larger shower/toilet to use if you're prepared to wait a few mins if it's full. The ladies on the desk is really lovely, and nothing is too much trouble. I would give special mention to them as they worked very hard all the time. There were several other travellers around and you have the choice to socialise or stick to yourself, either way is accepted. I made friends with a couple of people which was really nice but didn't put myself forward too much. All in all, this was a great place to stay and the holiday in general was a holiday of a lifetime. If you're ok with communal cooking and cleaning, you'll enjoy it here I would say. I will definately stay here again if I'm ever lucky enough to come to Sydney again.

Nice cosy home , will be better if each room has its private bathroom as I lived on level 3 and had to go down to level 1 for toilet use.

The room was very clean and well kept. It was a single room, small but comfortable and quiet. I had access to the lounge and kitchen and there is a fridge, micro wave, tea and coffee is available. The area is lovely and I couldn't believe how close it was to the business area and yet so nice and quiet. Nice little cafes and a nice pub up the road meant that that finding somewhere to eat was easy. I will be staying there again. It is good value for the price.

I stayed at the lodge for 5 nights for a business trip. I was apprehensive before arriving given the bathrooms were shared. Any negative thoughts around that were very quickly squashed. I had a room downstairs and the down stairs has 2 individual showers,2 individual toilets and 1 toilet/shower bathroom. I never had to wait for any of these facilities and they were always kept very clean. The shared kitchen was lovely as was the shared dining/tv area. There was a tv in the room and while the room was small it was sufficient for my needs(single room). Plenty of available power points for charging and the bed was comfy. Parking is sparse and street parking is timed and paid also. It’s a 10-15min downhill walk to North Sydney train station and the train ride is only 10mins into the city. One drawback is being downstairs I could hear the person upstairs from time to time and the person directly next to me. This is subjective as it depends on the people who stay at the lodge during your stay. The rates were very reasonable. Prior to this stay I would not have willingly seeked out accomodation with shared bathroom facilities but Dalziel lodge has totally changed my mind. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and will recommend Dalziel lodge to my family and friends.

Perfect for our needs. No frills but exceptionally clean and quiet.
