Loxford Vacations from $1,566

Yes, 3 stars for condition. Let's deal with that. This is where you're saving your money, the property is quite old. But the important things - everything is clean, everything works, and the staff are helpful, and it's a short walk to Summer Hill station. Aircon? Yep. If you need to work in Sydney for a couple of nights? Perfect. You don't want to pay twice as much for a plush place you're only going to sleep in. You want cheap but you definitely don't want nasty... you found the right place.

Great clean accomadation, good staff, easy check in and check out.

For the most part, the room was clean. Bathroom hot water pressure was low so it took a while for hot water to start but this was posted in plain site. Not ideal if you wanted a quick shower and it wasted a lot of water.

I had booked Room 17, the best room in the house, and it was an indulgent experience. The whole B&B is well-cleaned daily and my stay was comfortable. The center of North Sydney is reachable by walking and I'd stay here again.

Check in was seamless and the front of house staff were very friendly. The room was clean and comfortable, and overall I had a great stay. The only downside was being allocated a room directly above the parking garage. It was unexpectedly busy throughout the night and could get quite loud.
