Sydney Hotel Tips by trisanna

I have stayed at the York Apartments twice and each time was fantastic. We stayed in a deluxe one bedroom(meaning newly renovated). The staff are friendly and very helpful. The apartment comes with free parking for one car, which is great, since other apartments charge atleast $20 a day. The room was great. On our second stay, we stayed in room No. 1506, which was lovely. Quite large sitting area that was nicely decorated with a modern flair. Well equipped kitchen with electric stove. Nice bathroom with large shower /bathtub and washer and dryer. They give you one free sachet of washing power, for more they sell at the front desk for about a dollar or so. The bedroom is a bit small, but has a comfy bed. We traveled with our 7 month old son and we were very comfortable. The staff were great and provided us with a highchair and baby cot at no extra cost. All rooms have terraces that over look the city. We asked for a quiet room and had a lovely view of the skyline and the Sydney tower. You may want to request a quiet room, since some rooms face the on ramp to the harbour bridge.

The location is great. Around a ten minute walk to the rocks or darling harbour. Maybe around 15 to 20 minutes to Hyde Park, David Jones.

I would definately stay here again. The only downsides are:
Breakfast is very expensive. They told us it was around $27 a person and would discount it for us at 18. For the same price as one breakfast, my husband and i bought groceries and made our own, which was enough for a few days. Not many restaurants nearby, except a Japanese ramen restaurant, which is very popular. There is an excellent Belgian restaurant nearby, also many 7-elevens.
