The Savoy Double Bay Hotel, Sydney

Advantages: Location, Price, facilities
Disadvantages: none

...!) Location from Airport The hotel is pretty conveniently located from Sydney International Airport, approximately 20km or 30 mins drive. If you are hiring a car it's a straightforward run from the airport and is well signposted although there are a few one way streets around and Oxford Street can be pretty hectic so it can't hurt to get your hands on a map of the local area before you set off. If you are getting a train, it's only about 15 mins and you can get off at one of the nearby stations Central (the city's major hub) or townhall which are both fairly close by. The hotel also offers transfers for an extra charge. Rooms I was pleasantly surprised by the size and the cleanliness of the rooms. I stayed in a double room which had a queen size double bed, a fold out sleeper couch, small table and chairs, average sized bathroom plus TV... Read review

Disadvantages: If you are not used to Arabic culture you'll think your getting slow/poor service

...First please understand this is a review of the hotel not the resort of Sharm el Sheikh. I will add detail where appropriate but for a full review of the resort I will write one during one of my next reviews. We have stayed in Sharm 11 times so far and our last 4 holidays we have stayed in the Naama Bay Hotel. We have stayed there in March, November and July, all have been excellent although July tends to be busier. This hotel was very close to one of the bombs that went off but suffered only some broken glass in the front which was repaired quickly, I have to say that despite being caught up in the bombings we will have no qualms about going back and will be staying at the Naama bay on our next visit. First I should let you know where our requirements lay so you can judge our viewpoint. We are divers and go to Sharm at least... Read review

Advantages: Everything you could need in one resort, friendly staff
Disadvantages: Not a good selection of food If you are a fussy eater.

..., toast or fruit (not the freshest looking fruit i have seen). Evening meal had things like chips, curry, veal, veg, chicken nuggets (not everynight) and tradition Bulgarian Food. If you stay at the Royal Bay Hotel you can not eat at the Royal Park Hotel Restaurant as you have wristbands that are easily visable to each hotel. But there are at least 3 other restaurants you can eat in. You do have to book these around 10 in the morning for that day. In the village complex you have an entertainment hall were the staff put on shows most nights, plus you have a room with pool tables and games room. There was an internet room, that was normally busy with the teenagers. When we booked our holiday we were told that there ws a childrens club that we could use and it was free with first choice!!!! This is true to some degree, The HOTEL... Read review
