Stylish 1BR Entire CBD Apt 5 Minutes Train Station

Hotel Description

You know what really got me about this place? The minute I stepped out of Wynyard Station – literally five minutes door to door – I could see why this spot on York Street works so well. I mean, you’re right in the thick of Sydney’s CBD without feeling like you’re sleeping in an office building, which honestly can be a problem with some of these downtown apartments.

The apartment itself is one of those modern 1BR setups that actually feels thoughtfully designed rather than just thrown together. The living space flows nicely, and whoever styled it has decent taste – clean lines, comfortable furniture that doesn’t look like it came from a hotel catalog. The kitchen’s compact but functional (I made coffee every morning without issue), and the bedroom’s tucked away enough that street noise isn’t really a problem. Well, there’s the occasional siren, but that’s Sydney CBD for you. The building itself feels solid – I stayed on a weeknight and barely heard neighbors, which can be hit or miss with these apartment conversions.

Location-wise, this is where it gets interesting. York Street puts you within walking distance of Circular Quay if you want to catch a ferry, and the QVB is basically around the corner for shopping or just wandering around that gorgeous building. I found myself grabbing coffee at this little place on George Street most mornings, then walking through the botanical gardens before heading back – that’s maybe a 15-minute stroll tops. The Rocks markets are close enough for a Saturday morning wander, and honestly, having Wynyard Station so close means you can hit the beaches or explore other neighborhoods without the hassle of driving (parking in the CBD is brutal anyway). I actually ended up taking the train out to Manly one day just because it felt so easy from here.

The check-in process was smooth – keypad entry, which I always prefer to tracking down someone with keys. The building’s secure, and there’s a decent lift, though it can be a bit slow during busy periods. One thing I appreciated was how quiet it gets at night, considering you’re in the heart of everything. The apartment stays cool even on warm days, and the WiFi worked perfectly for the work calls I had to jump on. If I’m being picky, the shower pressure could be stronger, but it’s perfectly adequate, and the hot water never ran out.

What really sold me on this place was how it strikes that balance between being convenient without feeling touristy. You’re close enough to walk to the Opera House or Harbour Bridge, but you’re also in a neighborhood where locals actually live and work. The rating of 9.1 makes sense – it’s not trying to be fancy, just solid and well-located. For the price point and the fact that you get an entire apartment rather than a hotel room, it’s honestly a smart choice if you want to feel like you’re living in Sydney rather than just visiting it.

Reviews

• Apartment oozes style and comfort – Ron from New Zealand – 22 May 2025 (10/10)

  My wife and I were very impressed of the modern style of the apartment. The layout from the lounge to the bedroom made the stay very comfortable. Being in the CBD and having the amenities nearby was very handy when planning day to day activities.

• Perfect place for multi-day CBD stay – Luke from United States – 9 May 2025 (10/10)

  Perfect location within CBD and the apartment is high quality within a nice building. Everything I used was operational without difficulty and it was enjoyable to spend awake time in the apartment between commitments. The host was communicative and accommodating.

  such a great little apartment. The location is awesome, the host so lovely and the apartment is fully equipped with all you could need for a pleasant stay. Thank you so much Daisy for a great stay.

• Really good home base for a holiday, and cool view from high up. – Rawlings from Australia – 24 February 2025 (8/10)

  The location was perfect and everything including train stations were in walking distance. The apartment was cozy and warm, a lovely place to come back to after a long day. Very up to standards and the bed was rather comfortable.
  
  What could be improved: When we arrived we did not have any toilet paper provided and after buying our own, found some dropped off in front of the apartment. There was underwear in the washing machine which was not ours and the dishwasher was filled with dishes.

• Pleasant and Inviting – Dianne from Australia – 10 June 2024 (10/10)

  Excellent check in information and communication with Daisy. The Unit was very clean and comfortable and had a good supply of shampoos , conditioner. toilet paper, milk, sugar and coffee. Also had a cot and highchair for family's with small children. Safe building. Building can be accessed from both York and George Street. Cut through the walkway for Chemist Warehouse to George Street and cut through Uniqlo in George Street and it takes you to Pitt Street Mall. Easy walking distance to Darling Harbour.
  
  What could be improved: Difficult to find at first due to the different sequence building numbers in Sydney. Number 38 York Street is opposite 81 York Street. If lost find King Street and the Grace Hotel and it is straight behind it.

• Pleasant – James from Australia – 4 June 2024 (8/10)

  What breakfast?
  
  What could be improved: It felt like people were living there and would come in at any moment
