I stayed in room 4. Firstly, I had booked with *********** but they indicated no room available for my last night, so I booked my last night of 5 at another hotel, which was much less convenient. On arrival, I mentioned this to the check in staff who confirmed that a room was available, so I booked the last night there as well and cancelled the other hotel. Check in was fast and friendly. Then the stairs, oh the stairs. I have a bad back and my legs are not much better, so I hauled myself up and down the stairs for the week I was there. The main reason for choosing the Hornsby Inn, was it's proximity to my mother's old flat that I had to prepare for sale, proximity to the rail line and proximity to the main shopping area of Hornsby. This was an excellent location for all of those things. The room was basic, a double bed and a single bed, a table and chair, TV, in window air-con, a small fridge, and bathroom/toilet with towels and basic toiletries available. The staff cleaned it every day, so the room was well presented. The shower was very good, with a flexible shower head, and the towels were full sized, a big plus. One issue was when the curtains were drawn, you couldn't use the air-con, but there was a ceiling fan that did the job nicely. Air-con for the main building was fairly loud during the evening, but shut down latter at night. I wasn't really bothered by it. The room advertises that it comes with breakfast, but that is all in the mini fridge, tea and coffee with electric jug and toaster, two types of cereal, milk and some spreads for the toast. I purchased a box of my favourite cereal and a ltr of milk at the nearby supermarket and used the crockery provided by the hotel. Meals at the Bistro downstairs are patchy, but there are numerous restaurants within walking distance so that wasn't an issue for me. All in all, this exceeded my expectations and I spent a very pleasant week there. I thought the price per night a little high, but due to the above mentioned advantages, it was well worth it.
