Quay Grand Suites, Sydney

Advantages: 2 min walk to Circular Quay, great views of Opera House & Bridge
Disadvantages: None, would definately stay there again on my next visit

...The best part about this hotel is the location. It is very close to Circular Quay, The Rocks, The Bridge and the Opera House. We stayed here for 4 nights in March and found the staff to be very friendly and professional. We only ate breakfast in the hotel which was about £16 and buffet style, although there was an enormous choice of food . We had a Deluxe Bridge View room, comfy beds with nice linens and lots of other amenities it had a good view of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Nice pool and well-equipped gym in the hotel, but the attractions of Sydney don't leave much time to take advantage of them! When we stayed the hotel has just undergone a period of refurbishment and everything was immaculate.... Read review

Advantages: Excellent City, Clean streets, Great Transport, Loads to do
Disadvantages: Changable and Blustery in Winter, A Bit too far from Ireland

...are attending the fireworks you need to get a good spot early on in the day. We had to be at Farm Cove around 5pm to get a good view. Eating Out in Sydney is cheap compared to Irish prices. There are some great restaurants such as City Extra at Circular Quays, open 24 hours and items from a cup of coffee to a full meal with desserts. Venice Beach on Kellet St., Darlinghurst combines Asian cuisine with Australian and Mike the chef will tantalize your tastebuds with his various menu items. Transport in Sydney is very efficient and very cheap also. Busses, trains and ferries combine and you can usually get from Kings Cross to North Sydney in about 20-25 minutes - it can take a bit more in rush hour but if you know your train times you can do your best to avoid these rushes.

Advantages: Lots of atttractions
Disadvantages: Very Busy

...I stayed and worked in Sydney for 2 months in early 1999. The city's torist attractions are second to none, the graceful Opera House stands over the marvellous harbour and spectacular, huge Bridge. Circular Quay is a hub of excitement and action. Darling Harbour has lots of attractions such as the aquarium and imax cinema. The Rocks are an historical part of the city, where a brilliant market is held, and there are many interesting alleys to be discovered. But despite these attractions I found Sydney to be a bit "in your face"! The people can be rude as they are all in such a hurry, compared to other Australian cities such as Brisbane and Adelaide. Despite this I had a great time, you must come here at least once... Read review
