The Alexander Apartments – Harbour Views, Parking, Pool, 24hr Concierge

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about The Alexander? It’s one of those places that actually delivers on its promises – and honestly, that’s rarer than you’d think. Walking into the lobby, there’s this immediate sense that someone put real thought into the details. The concierge desk isn’t just for show either; I mean, having someone available 24/7 in North Sydney is pretty clutch when you’re dealing with jetlag or need restaurant recommendations that aren’t tourist traps.

The harbour views are legit spectacular – I’m talking about waking up to ferries cutting across the water and the Bridge framing everything perfectly. From Berry Street, you’re literally a five-minute walk to the Milsons Point train station, which honestly makes getting around Sydney so much easier than staying in the CBD and dealing with all that chaos. The pool area surprised me too; it’s not huge, but it’s got this urban oasis vibe going on, and the best part is it never felt crowded even during peak times. You can actually swim laps without dodging kids or pool noodles, which – let’s be real – is a luxury in itself.

What really sets this place apart though is the parking situation. I know it sounds mundane, but if you’ve ever tried to park in Sydney, you’ll understand why this is huge. Having a guaranteed spot means you can actually explore places like Manly or the Northern Beaches without stressing about finding parking when you get back. The apartments themselves feel more like someone’s well-appointed home than a sterile hotel room – full kitchen, proper living space, and those little touches like quality coffee and decent wifi that actually works. The staff seems to genuinely care about the place too, which you notice in things like how quickly maintenance issues get resolved or how they remember your name after day two. It’s that kind of attention that bumps a good stay into great territory, and probably explains why they’re sitting at a 9.1 rating.
