York review

Advantages: Great rooms & facilities
Disadvantages: not close to any good reasturants, no direct views of the Harbour

I stayed in the York in a serviced apartment in 2002. We had a great view of the city centre from our balcony, the room was HUGE! and also had (as you would expect from they type of room) washing/drying facilities, fully fitted kitchen, the furniture was of a very good standard (the bed was marvellous!) and we had cable TV (not that we watched it much) also it was a quiet room with no noise from other appts. It was the 1st place we stayed in Sydney ...
...the city to full advantage. In that 1 week we explored (on foot as it is quite small) all of the CBD (Central Business District - AKA city centre) it is all easily accessible from the York. Darling Harbour is a short trip away as is Circular Quay - which is where you can get a ferry to most places in the Sydney area. China town is on the same road that the York is on and there is a cinema close by (10 min walk) they now have a Krispy Kream's just ...

Review of The York, Sydney

Not the best

Advantages: It was ok
Disadvantages: Impolite, rude and bad mannered staff, not the best hostel regards to the quality.

...arriving in Sydney to return home as I had received some bad news regarding two of my family members. So we rearranged a number of our plans to ensure we could get a flight earlier and so that we could still do everything we wanted to. We booked ourselves into Home using an online website which we had used before and that generally is cheaper than other comparison websites and cheaper than going directly to the hotel/hostel. We arrived in Sydney ...
...around the corner to get to the hostel. The location of the hostel wasnt fantastic, but it was around from Central Station and it it was only a short walk into the city centre which was useful and meant we didnt have to spend money on public transport. On arrival at the hostel - it didnt look much from the outside, but I was openminded. The BOY who served me was an idiot - I believe he was also a backpacker as we saw him around the hostel on his ...

Review of Home Backpackers, Sydney

How to backpack in style.

Advantages: A perfect place to start your time in Australia!!!!
Disadvantages: None

...I ended up staying at Wake Up for 3 months and had the best time. The staff were brilliant and always willing to help whether its finding a job, apartment, tourist advice or providing entertainment. The rooms are bright and clean and the bathrooms were always perfect. You can book double rooms, triple or rooms for up to 6 people.The food was fine with a wide range of options and the drinks cheap - very cheap. The bar always had different things going ...
...the staff would do anything to accommodate. My 3 months at Wake Up were exactly what I needed to set me up the the rest of my time in Sydney. I made some amazing friends and we always went back to the Side Bar for a fun night out. ...

Review of Wake Up! Sydney Central - Youth Hostels, Sydney

Travel..Dodge! Sydney Australia hotels.

Advantages: Location and proximity to centre.
Disadvantages: Everything about this hotel services.

After Traveling around Australia for Months I have stayed in many hotels across the East Coast as you will discover in my Reviews. As more and more of us are traveling to Australia, I think its useful to see what are hotels we are assured of, are actually what we are getting after thousands of miles of traveling to our dream destination. We booked The Travelodge Sydney because me and my partner thought its a reputable name, Travelodge all over the ...
...comes up to standard. We had four days in Sydney and booked here! what a mistake. We arrived at the Hotel after traveling from Bribane 2-hours away. We were very tired and wanted to get some sleep after traveling from 4-am we needed a little sleep. Our hotel reservations were to check in early, but to our dismay they didn't acknowledge that and said we were not allowed to check in till 3pm. A bit irate I began my trek into Sydney soaking up the ...

Review of Travelodge, Sydney

Great stay in a Sofitel

Advantages: Lovley room, great value room service, central location
Disadvantages: Bath was to small, Price

...hotel break away in the Sofitel for four nights as our Christmas present -------------------Our arrival-------------------- We arrived into Sydney from Bali, but arrived at the domestic terminal as we changed at Darwin in the early hours of the morning. We jumped in a taxi straight outside the airport. Taxis appeared to be plentiful which can be rare at airports sometimes. The taxi driver instantly offered us two routes to get to the hotel. These ...
...in any hotel room. In Sofitel rooms you slept with a duvet underneath you as well as on top. This helps make it extra comfy. One thing I also find in hotels is that you don't always get enough pillows and have to call and wait a long time to get a couple of extra ones, However the extra pillows were there waiting for us in the wardrobe upon arrival. Within the room you are given a fine coffee/tea making facility. This is located in a cupboard. Here ...
