We stayed in this hotel over New Year and so probably the most expensive time of the year. The location was very good being only a 10 minute walk to Darling Harbour, and a 2 minute walk to the railway station, we even walked back from the botanic garden on New Years in under 30 minutes so it was very...

You just cant beat it for value for money, location, with air-con and a breakfast thrown in as well. If you include what you would spend on a breakfast at a cafe, it actually works out cheaper than most hostels where you wouldnt get a tv, in room tea/coffee, fridge and wardrobe. Would definitely recomend as a budget hotel. More

Stayed at Y Hotel Hyde Park for 6 nights in Jan 2012. It was very well located, a very short walk to Museum train station which meant we could get the train to and from the airport. Our twin room (no ensuite) was relatively big compared with other CBD hotels, and included a bar fridge. The ensuite bathroom was clean,... More

Worth every penny, good value for money. Good location, e.g. walking distance to Darling Harbour and shopping (George Street), buses to Bondi leave close by, short walk to train station with connections to the airport etc. Room was clean (only minus was the relatively small size). The hotel was quiet at night and the wireless internet connection in the room... More

I have stayed here twice so far, and each time have had a good experience. The hotel location is excellent, right by Museum Station (part of the City Circle network) and walking distance to Circular Quay, Opera House, Darling Harbour and the Anzac Memorial. You can also easily get to Kings Cross and Oxford Street/Paddington (go to Govinda's for the... More

When trying to decide where to stay for this trip, a travel agent told me not to consider the Y because it was a hostel. But after looking at its website, I decided it was worth a try for price and location. It is situated right in the CBD, which made it easy for me to walk to the places... More

The Y Hotel Hyde Park is excellently situated to be close to many of Sydney's offerings, and my girlfriend and I found ourselves being able to easily walk, or catch an inexpensive cab ride throughout our three night stay. Circular Quay with the Sydney Opera House and OZ Jetboating, or Darling Harbour with the Aquarium, Wildlife, Maritime Museum and others... More

Stayed for four nights in October 2011. Location is good, right near Hyde Park and within walking distance of the harbor. Oxford Street was a bit of a wild mess the weekend we were there, so we stayed away later on. Started with a single traditional, but could barely fit our luggage and selves in the room. After one night,... More

The rooms are small and slightly dated and the bathroom very cramped BUT you can hardly beat this hotel for location. The check in staff were efficient and friendly and continental breakfast provided with the room, but I opted to explore Sydney's cafes each morning. As a cricket fan I used this a a base for the Sydney Test and... More
