Sydney Harbour accommodation

[Scurvy Dog]

Hi :D, going to be spending 3 days in Sydney before our cruise, has anyone some suggestions of places close to Sydney Harbour to stay either Hotel or Appartments, that are reasonably priced? Cheers :)

[tassie cruiser]

Haha... Me again :D Whenever we sail out of Sydney, we always stay at The Menzies... It is nice and close to ship, can get great deals there, have the yummiest buffet brekky and train station in just across road (as in 10meters away) we walk to ship in the mornings after brekky,

a 5 min walk and all downhill, an easy walk (and we have kids)

Also nice easy walk to Darling Harbour etc........

The rooms arent huge but very modern and clean, there is also nice bar there if you feel like drinks at night and nice restaurant. Fiona:)

P.S If you want to look at prices for The Menzies, go thru the Accor site. I am an Accor member so can usually get bit cheaper but I think they are still cheap for the location....

[Scurvy Dog]

Hello again Fiona :) Its o.k you can stalk me if you keep helping with my questions lol :p.... I will give the Menzies a shot sounds good to me .. I will check out the Accor site..once again ta

We have stayed in 2 Sydney Hotels.

Both great locations.

The Holiday Inn at the Rocks

The Grace.

Depends on the best deal you can get , but the Holiday Inn at the Rocks is a superb location.

The Menzies does look nice they all do lol..just too many to choose from..its like easier to choose a cruise than a Hotel in Sydney :rolleyes:..lol

I actually haven't found The Holiday Inn at the Rocks :confused: is it called that?

Then again Holiday Inn's are everywhere it seems :D

Shhhhh Fiona's a facebook stalker too :p

[Scurvy Dog]

Yeah I googled that and worked that out myself lol :)..but thanks..suppose I have to do some leg work myself :D

Yeah Fiona's being following me around all day :eek: lol

Who is the Cruise Critic Police by the way??? :confused:

We will be staying at the Medina Grand Harbourside.....5 minutes walk to pier on Hickson Road. Other CC members recommended and it is really reasonable. We are on the Dawn in May to the south pacific for our honeymoon.:D

[Scurvy Dog]

Thanks Toasty,

Yeah I looked and wondered about the Medina Grand. Looks good and some decent reviews. My lady ended up getting us a apartment in the World Tower for below $250 a nite which was pretty sweet. We are staying 4 days in Sydney before the cruise so figured it wont matter how close we are to the Harbour. From 62 odd stories up we should be able to see if the boats in :). All the best and good luck on your honeymoon. :)

Just wondering what site you found the World Tower on....Sailing out of Sydney Jan 15/2012 and some hotels are already booked up...thanks for any info...yaya;)

[Scurvy Dog]

Hi Yaya,

We booked it direct through Meriton Hotels try this link.

I do know that the prices for the weekends double but mid-week is cheap considering. Let me know how you go?

On our return leg we got a 3 nights at the Metro Hotel Sydney Central for $105 a night through TravelZoo. So they might have some cheap deals? :)..cheers Muzza

[p_toasty]

We recently stayed overnight at the Medina Grand World Towers just before our cruise, 2 bedroom apartment on the 65th floor, views of Darling Harbour, and the city saw the planes coming in and out, we had apartment 6505 which also had a glass area with table and chairs fantastic views, and great staff.

[Scurvy Dog]

[Scurvy Dog]

lol...ffs too nice you dont know me yet :D...The Dawn looks a nicer boat than the Jewel..(it has more area's to drink apparentley) :p...

We needed a quick long holiday and the Jewel was doing the 14 days so that sealed it :)...this will be my 1st Pacific cruise I normally add a cruise onto my U.S.A snowboard times just too get warm again :D..Just lucky this year we cant get any cars from Japan in June..perfect for me guess not for the Japanese..
