We enjoyed our stay at the York.

We enjoyed our stay at the York. The 1st room they put us in was really nice, modern,spacious, clean with flat screen TV and comfy lounge, and it had kitchen dinning etc. However the air conditioning was broken and as it was winter we needed warmth, so they moved us to another room on the next floor. It wasn't quite as good as the TV was only small and the lounge very hard, so a bit disappointing after the change. Told the man at the desk and he just said, "sorry about that!"On the whole it was a nice clean Hotel which had been refurbished. We would stay there again.

Our stay

Had a deluxe studio apartment on the 13th floor with a balony. Was a nice apartment but traffic was very noisy and the ding dong of the lift did wake me up a few times but no other complaints.

Parking is a little tricky but

Parking is a little tricky but 'do able' even for a grandma who doesn't drive in Sydney all that often! My only complaint is our breakfast basket was forgotten and I had to ring and ask about it; it was delivered fairly quickly; also for the price I think some bread, butter and jams could have been provided rather than one very sweet muffin- there are excellent facilities to make toast in the suite. I would certainly stay there again and encourage my friends to as well.

We stayed for 5 nights and arrived

We stayed for 5 nights and arrived to find that we had been upgraded to a bigger unit than the studio we booked. It was very nice and well appointed. We enjoyed the balcony and the views. The unit was serviced everyday on request and a complimentary paper was there every morning. It is very quiet hotel andwas great to have our own kitchen for breakfasts. It is very central to everywhere we wanted to go and the little restaurant on the opposite corner was lovely. The Wynyard Station is very close and we arrived from the airport on the train and walked to the hotel.Very nice and we would recommend this hotel.

Although we chose the York because

Although we chose the York because of of its location we were surprised by the excellent facilites in the studio apartment. Maintenance could have been better, and some of the equipment, e.g. the washing machine and dryer, had reached pensionable age. That said the it was very well equipped. The only thing missing was a restaurant, not really a problem as there were several cafes/restaurants in the same building.
