Top Balmain East Hotel Reviews

YEHS Hotel Sydney Harbour Suites

8/10 Good

"This hotel was centrally located and generally met the description. I really appreciated the toiletries and fruit at the front desk, as well as the in-suite laundry facilities. Unfortunately one lift was down for maintenance, so there were some delays. Also, the pool water (and spa water) were cold. Sauna was good though. I thought the bathroom was quite cramped, with very little counter space, and shower leaked on the floor. Overall, the hotel met our needs, though it could have used some improvements."

Rydges World Square

8/10 Good

"A great location for easy access across the CBD and easy walking to metro and tram station, and easy access to World Square eateries. Room was overall nicely appointed and a comfortable size, but a little dated in places and the hotel is showing it's age somewhat in terms of wall scuffs, carpet, bathroom tiles. However a comfortable stay, quiet, and good location for business in the city."
