Meriton Westport Apartments Parramatta, Sydney

Advantages: Clean, excellent service, near to city centre.
Disadvantages: Near very noisy pub, not a great view from apartment.

...Having read reviews of this hotel and having read the higher you were the quieter it was we requested a room above the 22nd floor, they accommodated us on the 23rd but this was not high enough to get away from a very noisy bar that on Friday and Saturday did karaoke and played music at a ridiculous volume until the early hours. If you want to sleep you need to be a lot higher up to get away from the noise of the bar, traffic and monorail. The only other minor fault with the Meriton is we were in a one bedroom apartment but they had placed the beds so that you couldn't close the bedroom door. The location of the hotel was in the centre of the shopping district and to get to the major attractions of Sydney it was a 20-40 minute walk. The facilities in the apartment were excellent and its was very clean with a daily maid service... Read review

Advantages: beautiful attractions, great night view of city
Disadvantages: some crowding in the trains

...Sidney, i will say is a great place to visit. Flight from UK to sidney is a little bit expensive but it is worth the cost. With such amazing coastline in many places and so peaceful, it is definately a great place for relaxation. I visited sidney in may 2004, it was exactly how i expected it to be. Transport system is excellent and very easy to get around the city. I visited the city centre, a bit crowded but with excellent views-nice huge buildings. I also visited the opera house and also went on a harbour cruise which departed near the opera house, to take in the view of the bays and the magnificent coastline around that area. Along the coastline is the prime minister's residence, and several beautiful properties owned by international stars. The markets in the city are quite good for bargains.I bought really lovely...
