Sydney Hotel

Need recommendation on a hotel in Sydney for one night before and after a cruise

Need recommendation on a hotel in Sydney for one night before and after a cruise

First question is where are you leaving from.

Sydney has two docks,

White Bay

Or

The Overseas Passenger Terminal (OPT) at the Rocks

If you're unsure tell us your ship and sail date and someone will look it up, often just telling the ship answers the question as many can't fit under the bridge to get to White Bay.

Also some idea of your budget might assist as you can pay (also depends on timing) from about $200 for Ibis to a few Thousand for Park

Hyatt

If your ship leaves from the OPT, the Sydney Harbour Marriott is a good choice. Short walk from train station (from airport), near restaurants and only a 2-3 block walk to the OPT. I recommend to highly.

We are on the HA Noordam 2-28 to 3-14 and on the RCL Voyager Of The Seas 3-15 to 3-26. Would like a hotel room for $150 or less

Doubt you'll get anything in the city for under $150 even the IBIS in Pitt Street which would be worth considering is showing more than that at the time

Noordam is White Bay both days

Voyager is OPT.

Check out the Adina Apartments

We will be coming in on Diamond Princess in March 2018. Can you tell me what port we would go into?

I was looking at hotels on booking dot com and the Valentine on George looked quite affordable with good location. What is your opinion of that hotel?

Thanks for info.

Diamond is OPT at The Rocks, can't fit under the Bridge.

Don't know that hotel but will have a look.

Hi, we will be boarding the Radiance of The Seas from Sydney on Nov. 7-18, can anyone please let me know where do they dock? We booke our hotel near Winyard station. Thanks.

From Wynyard won't be much difference.

The hotel is in The Rocks, which is full of restaurants for all tastes and budgets.

The cruise ship schedule says she will be at the OPT, which is a matter of yards away from the Holiday Inn Old Sydney.

Is there a way to walk to the ship or will we have to take a taxi around to a gated entrance?

I've not specifically looked for a couple of years, but I'm pretty sure you can cross George Street, walk along Hickson Road (slightly downhill) and then turn right to walk over the bridge to the OPT.

We've booked the North Sydney Harbourview Hotel for our pre-cruise stay in October (Golden Princess). Any thoughts on this hotel? The price seemed reasonable (USD$) and it looks like a pretty good location to a couple of nights to see some sights in Sydney.

We have stayed there a few times now. Harbour views are spectacular. You will be able to watch cruise ships arriving and leaving. Easy travel to the city.

Awesome, thanks!

Hi,

We will be on the Celebrity Solstice next year and staying two nights, pre-cruise in Sydney. Can I assume that since the ship is large that we will also be docked at OPT?

May I ask why that matters to where one stays? We are looking at the Shangri-La. Any opinions on the hotel?

Thank you

Just got off the Solstice. It left from the OPT. It matters if your time in Sydney is short because the circular quay area where the OPT is located is really nice, so much to do and see, the Opera House, etc. We stayed at the Marriott and walked to the ship with our bags. Very short and easy. The Marriott construction is almost finished. Even with the noise in the lobby area, the hotel staff could not have been nicer. Enjoy your trip, ours was fantastic. Solstice did not disappoint!

Yep it'll be the OPT.

NEVER stayed at Shangri-La but ever heard anything other than positive.

We also were just off the Solstice ( great cruise) and also stayed at the Marriott. Great hotel and location. One block from Circular Quay and a two from the port. You can walk right up to the terminal Easy flat walk even with lugggage. Enjoy!

Thank you all!

We will be staying 2-3 nights in Sydney, so we don't necessarily need to be near the quay.

Does anyone know how far away the Shangri-La hotel is from the port? We liked the looks of the rooms better than at the Marriott, but certainly have not ruled the M out. ;) I didn't know they were renovating. We don't go until a year from now.
