I stayed 7 days at the Y City South for the sole purpose of attending the early stages of the Sydney International Piano Competition of Australia. The hotel is a very convenient 6-8 minute walk from Seymour Centre (Sydney University) where the piano recitals are held. The room I got was very spacious for one person, including double bed, en-suite... more

I had the extreme misfortune of staying at the Y City South hotel in Sydney very recently. The experience was so bad that after three nights I had to checkout and move into the local hostel which I found to be a lot more comfortable and clean! Starting with the arrival, you can't actually get into the building without pressing... more

I'd agree with the favorable review that this hotel gets on this site. The window in my room was double glazed so I found it very quiet. If you want to use your laptop there is a separate jackpoint for internet access at normal hotel phone rates. There are also spare power points for plugging in chargers/laptops etc. The continental... more

The Y hotel is a very nice budget hotel, with very friendly staff at the reception desk. Rooms are extremely clean and breakfast is OK. Maybe the ONLY negative thing to say is that is not in Sydney's CBD so you will have to take the train to get there. Nevertheless I highly recommend it! It's a budget hotel, it's... more

Advertises itself as a boutique hotel, budget b&b would be more accurate. Bad location on main road, took me 15 mins to find somewhere to buy food. Smallest hotel room I ever seen, no floor space - does have all facilities within room, i.e. fridge, tv etc but very cramped. Due to road it's also very noisey. Good for backpackers... more

I stayed here on my first night in Sydney. I had a single room, which was small, but comfortable. Room had a small refrigerator, hot water kettle with tea and coffee, TV and private bathroom. The complementary toiletries are wonderful, especially the lotion! Internet access is on the ground floor: $2.50 for 30 minutes if I remember correctly. Front desk... more

good value, small clean rooms, a bit on the side but still walking distance to all. more

I stayed here for 3 nights with my fiancee during an extended holiday in Australia. This was the first place we stayed, and were pretty pleased with it overall - the only downside was that its about a 15 minute walk at a normal walking pace to get to central station - took us about 20 with our backpacks! The... more

Based on other reviews, I stayed here on the first night of a three week holiday in Australia. (I was moving on from Sydney the next day.) I stayed in a single en suite room. It was fine and compact! They allowed me to check in early which was much appreciated after the flight from Ireland. The hotel is fine,... more
