YEHS Hotel Sydney Harbour Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and family room was ideal. No complaints whatsoever. Gym was good and would have liked to have used the swimming pool/sauna but was closed during our stay (Monday 1st June to Thursday 4th June 2026). Would definitely recommend and will use when heading back over to Sydney in February 2027."

Hyatt Regency Sydney

8/10 Good

"Staff were great. However: - initially we were provided a room that looked out to a brick wall, when a room with a water view was paid for. - phone in the room didn’t work so couldn’t order room service - QRL code for room service didn’t work. - TV was glitchy - no coffee pods or coffee machine were available - no draws to put clothes That said, great location, staff lovely, bed super comfortable, room clean and modern."
