Also, the rooms did get really hot in the evening and it was hard to bring the temperature down, but if you don't mind a toasty room it wasn't too bad. "

YEHS Hotel Sydney Harbour Suites
4.0 star property
8.4 out of 10, Very Good, (1347)
"Good location, a block down from the Town Hall and right opposite the ramp to head to Darling Harbour. The property is a bit old and tired but the rooms were spotlessly clean and quite livable. Had a gym and pool but I'd rate this as a 3 star hotel not a 4 star. That all said, I was quite happy to stay here. It does look like the owners are continuing to improve an older property. My apartment had cooking and laundry facilities which was good."
