About this place York by Swiss-Belhotel

York by Swiss‑Belhotel is a mainstream, gay‑friendly apartment hotel in Sydney’s CBD. The building on York Street offers serviced studios and one‑ and two‑bedroom apartments, making it a good fit for longer stays, couples who want a kitchen, or friends splitting a larger unit. Its location sits in the business district, right by Wynyard station. Circular Quay, The Rocks and the Harbour Bridge are all a walk away. If you’re looking for late‑night drinks, Oxford Street’s bars in Darlinghurst lie on the opposite side of the city, so most guests hop in a taxi or bus to get there. Google reviews average 3.9 from over 600 guests. Check recent comments on room condition before you book.

This hotel is located in the very heart of Sydney's city center. The rooms are incredibly spacious and include a washing machine, bathtub, and kitchen. Not only is it close to major tourist attractions, tram, train, and ferry terminals, but it is also near famous grocery stores like Woolworths and Coles. Buying a steak at Coles, grilling it in your spacious home, and eating it on the terrace is just as good as dining in a high-end restaurant. Since it is close to major tourist spots, you can easily come back for lunch and dinner and head out again.

Since I wasn't familiar with Australian accommodation rules, the initial room configuration wasn't what I ordered; for example, a room for 4 people was set up for 5! Room cleaning staff changed daily, so communication wasn't thorough. Australia is an eco-conscious society, so towels aren't changed unless you ask! It really made me appreciate the amazing service in Japan. Here, you have to ask every day, otherwise they won't do it!

Handy to Wynyard Station and walking distance to Circular Quay, NSW Art Gallery (20 mins). Rooms are spacious, clean and well appointed - we like having a balcony. Prices vary depending on the booking day - check various sites or sign up free to their direct booking discount.
