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.

The studio room is much more space than I expected - with kitchen facility. IT is inconvenient to us their free WIFI as it is not in our room - and the staff is always busy. A lot of tourist attractions are within walking distance.

Great spot..so close to everything!
Great spot..so close to everything! Apartments a little outdated but fantastic showers! It was pretty noisy all night being so close to harbour bridge, but would be better if on a higher floor.

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 had asked for breakfast for our two days stay. This was left in the room together ( without intimating that there will be no further delivery on the 2 nd day ) on arrival but was barely sufficient for the first day !

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.
