Sydney Hotel

In Sydney after Cruise Nov 30 2013. Any good recommendation on a

popular price hotel in best area for sight seeing?

We stayed in the Four Points Sheraton in Darling Harbor. It is close to the ferry and rail.

The Park Royal in Darling Harbour is also very close to the ferry and rail. We have stayed there twice and if we back again, will again.

We also stayed pre-cruise in the Sheraton Four Points in Darling Harbor and loved it - except for prices in the hotel dining room. Go elsewhere to eat! There are plenty of choices around Darling Harbor. We even had a fireworks show right outside our window one night. After our cruise, we spent one night in the Holiday Inn "Old Sydney" on George Street. It's within a block or two of the pier and a great location for sightseeing. (We took a cab to the hotel because we had heavy luggage and people said the walk was up a hill, but later realized we could easily have walked it from the pier.) The hotel is OK, nothing special, but there's a roof deck with a pool and spectacular views of the city, Opera House, ships at the pier - almost a 360 degree view. Both places offer lots to see and do within very easy walking distance, plus easy access to public transportation.

We stayed at the Holiday Inn at The Rocks. From there we were able to walk to the Opera House, Bridge, Botanical Garden, and Darling Harbor and also were in close walking distance to the ferries to the zoo and beaches.

Great location and very nice hotel.

We stayed at Holiday Inn on George St. You can take the train from airport to Circular Quay stop and walk to the hotel and walk to the pier, easy walk to shopping and opera house. Wasn't as expensive as some of the other downtown hotels, so probably not as plush, but a good relative value, especially given the location.

We stayed at the Darling hotel located at the Star casino @ darling harbor after our cruise.

New hotel very high tech but not high price

We stayed at the Grace...great hotel! We walked everywhere.

we stayed for one night, then left for a couple of weeks, then returned for 2 nights. They were nice enough to hold our luggage during those 2 weeks, so we didn't have to cart our formal wear and cruise stuff around AU with us.

Do any of these hotels have free WiFi?

You need to specify where your cruise is leaving from. We stayed at the Marriott at Circular Quay, very nice.

And if you join the Marriott rewards on line (free) you will also get free wifi. Hotels in Australia charge for wifi.

We stayed in Sydney for a week following a Honolulu to Sydney cruise in 2011. We stayed at the Sir Stamford at Circular Quay, and found the location perfect for the activities and sights we wanted to visit. And (at least at that time) the Sir Stamford offered free Wi-fi in the hotel lobby.

Do any of these hotels have free WiFi?

The Grace didn't, but we watched for sales and deals...got breakfast and boradband included with the room for our stay.
