The hotel is convenient to the cruise terminal, trains and ferries. There are also several cafes nearby. The hotel room showed its age. Duct tape held a section of carpet together.

Hyatt Regency Sydney
Room was clean, but the shower had some tiny spots of mold. Wasn’t sure how often the rooms were vacuumed. Beautiful views of Darling Harbor. Was able to watch the fireworks from our room. Would be nice if outlets were updated with usb-c charging ports.

YEHS Hotel Sydney Harbour Suites
Dirty, stinky, rude stuff. The gym was smelly and had no machines, just a couple of noisy treadmills and a few old dumbbells. Room was noisy and the view was terrible. Nothing to save here. Just stay away from this garbage.
