When I was studying in Australia, I did quite a bit of travel around Australia. Sydney was one of the Australian cities I had a chance to visit. This ultra modern Australian city has so much to offer. Sydney Opera House, Sydney Harbour Bridge, Bondi Beach, Sydney Aquarium, just to name a few, are popular Sydney attractions you should not miss when you are in Sydney.

Looking for places to stay in Sydney is not hard at all. Choosing a Sydney hotel for your stay is just a matter of your budgets and preferences.

You can stay in boutique hotels, luxury hotels or budget hotels depending on what you have in mind with your travel budgets. For those travelling in groups, you may want to opt for apartments where not only you will have more rooms but also better privacy.

If you plan to stay longer and spend more time at any one place, its better to stay at a hotel near that area. Darling Harbour for examples can make you busy for days just cruising, shopping, dining and site seeing around the harbour so a Darling Harbour hotel is probably what you would want to consider istead of North Sydney hotels, even though North Sydney is just facing the Harbour Bridge on the north side.

Whether it’s Sydney hotels, Darling Harbour hotels or North Sydney hotels, you still have the choices of 2-star, 3-star, 4-star or 5-star hotels to make your visit to Sydney a memorable one.
