“Large Apartments at a Good Price”

Second visit here in a two bedroom suite. Nice layout, a big balcony, and a good kitchen and laundry. The pool and gym are small but never crowded.

Second visit here in a two bedroom suite. Nice layout, a big balcony, and a good kitchen and laundry. The pool and gym are small but never crowded. Although there is no restaurants on site, Goshu Ramen next door is terrific, and highly recommended if you like bargain Japanese food. Reception staff are always welcoming and happy to assist. (Thanks Manoj). As Sydney residents, my family use this place as our 'home away from home' when we want access to a large and comfy open living area, and American news services such as CNN and Fox, during 'interesting' times (like scary American elections). And compared to other large serviced apartments in Sydney, the rooms are regularly serviced, and the daily rate is reasonable. I can happily recommend it.

“Well located”

I last stayed at the York about 10 years ago and was happy to return.

I last stayed at the York about 10 years ago and was happy to return. The place is very well located for public transport - trains, ferries, buses and trams are all a short walk away (with Wynyard station being practically next door) I had been upgraded by booking.com to a 1 bedroom apartment and I was delighted with this. The decoration was bright and everything looked new and clean, with gorgeous feeling carpets. There was pleasant artwork on the walls, and a comfy sofa and armchair, alongside a dining table. There was a nice hallway and a free to use safe. The kitchen was very well equipped with with full size fridge-freezer, hob, microwave, dishwasher, washer/dryer and plenty of crockery, cutlery and glassware. The room had a decent size balcony with city view. There were large TVs in the living area and the bedroom, plus a DVD player and stereo. There was more than enough wardrobe and drawer space. The bed was comfortable and the linen was a decent quality. There was a walk in shower plus a bath and there was always plenty of hot water with a good pressure There was a mini bar with some drinks and snacks - and whilst not cheap was not ridiculously expensive. There is no restaurant or bar on site but there are plenty of places to eat and supermarkets nearby. Some relatively minor niggles - There was quite a lot of road noise - I don't think it would wake you, but once you tune in you are aware of it. Also, the interior of the apartments were great, the hallways could do with sprucing up and the doors look a bit worse for wear. I didn't have a huge amount of interaction with reception but there always looked to be someone on sight if needed

We were very happy with the location, since we visited Sydney as tourists. The place was priced well and quite affordable. It is based centre between great tourist destinations and close to train station other transport. Within walking distance from restaurants, pubs and coffee shops. The staff at the hotel were not friendly or very helpful. When issues were raised, attending to it was never priority. Some issues were never resolved. The overall cleanliness of the apartment was below average. There were hair and some dust throughout the apartment and windows were not clean. Appliances and furniture are very old and outdated. Ripped couches and stained carpets. We will think twice next time before visiting The York.
