I was also a bit concerned about staying at the Y City South after having read some of the Tripadvisor reviews and having heard that the Redfern neighborhood was a bit on the rougher end but everything went just fine during our 5 day stay here. We got in a bit earlier than check-in time and they already had a... More

I was concerned about our stay here based on the wide range of reviews it had received on TripAdvisor.com. However, it worked for us - especially with the expensive alternatives for accommodation in Sydney. We had booked a double en suite for 4 nights, so perhaps that helped with the room quality. Sure, it was very small, but it was... More

very good hotel ,convenient to city center ,staff very helpful,value for money only breakfast has little choice More

Dear Chuck, Firstly, the cancellation policy is unfair to its customers, at least for me. I did not know that I have to give a hotel 48 hours of move/ check-out notice. This is the FIRST ever hotel in the world that I come across with such unreasonable policy. I was not told at check-in day about this policy or... More

I chose this hotel because of its location and cost. I wanted to be near one of the city's train station, and the hotel is located near both Central Station and Redfern station. I also needed to budget wisely, and if you don't know, Sydney is a very expensive city. From what I hear and discovered first hand, it is... More

I stayed at the Y South in Sydney back in May for 5 days. If you are on a tight budget and you've done your homework about the cost of travel, food, lodging etc in Sydney and Australia in general, you will appreciate this place highly for the price (If you haven't done your homework...believe me, it's expensive in Australia!!)...

Me and my partner spent a few weeks in Y Hotel. We chose it because of the price - it is attractive and lower than in other hotels. Location is good - close to the central railway station and bus stops (walking distance) however some people might find it difficult to fall asleep at night (trains and cars passing by).... More

Pros: Location is OK. About 10 minute walk to Redfern train station or you can walk about 20 minutes to Central Station. If you're looking for a hotel closer to the center then this isn't for you. Wifi was a decent price - $25 for the week unlimited wifi and we didn't have any problems with that. Free breakfast (although... More

First I want to say that the staff were great and helpful and I'm sure you can't really expect to much of this kind of hotel. But still, I can't help but being disappointed. First of all the hotel isn't cheap, so you expect things to be of a certain standard. Second, it's quite a long walk from everywhere, both... More
