YEHS Hotel Sydney Harbour Suites

YEHS Hotel Sydney Harbour Suites

8/10 Good
"Nice location near Darling Harbor. 20-25 minute walk to most things. Nice to have a pool and sauna on-site (20th floor). We had a nice kitchen in our room. Staff are all extremely nice and helpful. They take providing quality lodging seriously. We did not have a car so did not need parking. Good restaurants in the area and a WoolWorths grocery store 2 blocks away as well as the Tram. Would stay here again if ever in Sydney."
