Decent budget hotel. Room was small, but it had everything I needed. Location was so-so, it was about a 5 minutes walk to Redfern station, and quite close to the airport. But there wasn't much nearby. It was about a 10-15 walk to a supermarket, and very limited cafes & eateries nearby. It was also in a less friendly and... more

LIKES: - Cheap (paid $80 per night for an en suite double room) - Close to the city attractions (Redfern station was about 5 mins' walk from the hotel, just 1 stop away from Central station and a few stops from Circular Quay and Town Hall stations) - Modern and cheery furnishings - Clean and well-serviced - TV (even though... more

We were visiting our son who lived nearby so chose this place for the location. Although we knew that at the price and the fact that it used to be the YWCA it wasn't going to be the most luxurious of rooms, it was a bit of a shock to see how small the room actually was. It was a... more

We moved out next... more

As a former Sydney resident, I needed a hotel convenient to Sydney University and public transport to the airport, so this property's location plus budget price were the main attractions. I had a single room with ensuite - both were very small, but perfectly adequate for a single traveller. Breakfast was included - cereal, juice, toast, coffee - and tea/coffee... more

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
