Lovely to see this "grand old lady of Pymble" tastefully renovated: old world charm with modern comforts. Yes, the traffic can be noisy but the room is comfortable, the staff friendly, food good (the bruschetta and ceasar salad our favourites!). Location is very convenient, hop on the train for a few minutes for the boutiques of Turramurra, Wahroonga or Gordon, or head into the city. Why bother with a car? (Check with the hotel if you do have issues with mobility though.). We enjoyed our stay!
