Metro Hotel Sydney Central, Sydney

Advantages: Central location right next to the Harbour
Disadvantages: Fairly pricey

...I visited this hotel in April 2005 when visiting Australia. Great central location with views from many of the rooms of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House. Only a minutes walk from the harbour so you are right in the action! The hotel had recently been refurbished and was really classy. Staff very friendly and helpful. My room was spacious and comfortable. I had a fantastic view of the Opera House from the room and I could watch the sun rise every morning - Well worth it! I didn't have any meals in the hotel (breakfast wasn't included) but there are plenty of places to get a great breafast, this wasn't a problem. Great hotel, I would recommend staying if you are visiting Sydney!... Read review

The journey into Sydney takes 13 minutes and trains run every 10 minutes. The station in Sydney links directly to the City Circle which means that most city attractions and hotels are within a few minutes walk of either Central, Museum, St James, Circular Quay, Wynyard and Town Hall stations.

...Since I was a teenager I had always wanted to tour Australia, and finally as I hit 18 I booked my first visit to Sydney. From the minute I stepped on Emirates Airlines I was satisfied. It was a fabulous, unforgettable experience. I flew from London Heathrow to Sydney and spent three weeks staying in Hotel InterContinental Sydney, which was probably the most expensive but luxiourus hotel I have ever stayed in. I spent the first two or three days relaxing at the hotel, going to it's gym, the pool and having a look around the city. We spent the time looking at the tourist attractions, including The Sydney Opera House, where we dined and watch a production, which was absoultey spectacular, we did a Captain Cook Dinner cruise around the Sydney harbour which had a tasty menu, which we enjoyed and ofcourse I could not leave Sydney without...
