| "I stayed 7 days at the Y City South for the sole purpose of attending the early stages of the Sydney International Piano Competition of Australia. The hotel is a very convenient 6-8 minute walk from Seymour Centre (Sydney University) where the piano recitals are held. The room I got was very spacious for one person, including double bed, en-suite facilities, fridge, ironing board, coffee/tea making facilities and television. The room overlooked busy railway tracks, but noise disturbance was not a big problem. A basic breakfast is served every morning – toast, cereals, juice, milk, coffee/tea and Vegemite! Wi-fi is available at a small cost. Very important: hotel provides an airport shuttle service at $12, cheaper and more convenient than taking the railway.
The hotel’s clientele was mostly pilgrims (for World Youth Day) and fellow music-enthusiasts, generally a largely friendly bunch of people.
Y City South is a 4-minute walk from Redfern Station, but that entails a walk through the ghetto-like Eveleigh Street, where homeless people may be found sleeping al fresco in the adjacent park. Taking the longer route would be a safer option at night. One could also walk to Central Station (8-10 min), and the delights of Chinatown and Haymarket (10-12 min) just further afoot. Nearby eating places: an acceptable Chinese takeout (within a service station, 2 min) and a Thai restaurant on Cleveland Street (4-6 min). All in all, an excellent budget choice of accomodation.

| "The location for transport is rather good as the nearest Redfern train station has many train services (it's an interchange, much like Central). The city central area is about 15min walk from then hotel (to George St, Chinatown). However, certain areas close to the hotel is not exactly safe, especially at night, so it's advisable not to wander into certain direction.
The room is basically clean and has the regular amenities such as kettle, hair dryer, etc. But, the room size is very small. Once you put your luggage down on the floor, there is little walk space left. I stayed during winter, so I turned on the heater and found it a bit noisy. (When I turned on Air-con instead of heater, the noise from the equipment wasn't an issue.)
Daily breakfast provided by the hotel was very simple -- just toast and cereal, coffee and tea, but it was alright with me. The hotel staff were mostly friendly. For budget traveller, I would recommend this place." |

| "The room is very small & crampy. Basically the hotel is clean and the breakfast provided are very plain servings.
You need to walk quite a distance to central station & china town. My Australian friend had pointed out that the area is unsafe and best not to walk around at night time." |
