YEHS Hotel Sydney Harbour Suites

YEHS Hotel Sydney Harbour Suites

8/10 Good
"The location is ideal, near to shopping and transportation, this also means it can be noisy with traffic. We had a 1 bed apartment, kitchen and a washer/dryer, this was handy as we had just come from a long cruise, with no laundromat onboard, so it was nice to freshen up some of our clothes, you can buy washing powder at reception, just bring what you think you will need. No restaurant at the hotel, but plenty of options nearby, also a few supermarkets where we bought some bread, milk etc, no bowls in the room for our cereal, so bought a couple. Air conditioner was not working when we arrived, we reported it straight away, the fault could not be fixed, but we were supplied with 2 tower fans which worked better for us. All in, it was a comfortable stay, and would stay again."
