Frommer's Highly Recommended

This business-oriented hotel is cheap for Sydney, comfortable, and reasonably well located -- making it a good option for travelers who just want to unpack and explore. The rooms are Ikea-like in appearance, with a queen-size bed or twin beds. All include a kitchenette with a microwave. From here it's a short walk to Oxford Street, Town Hall, Hyde Park, and the monorail to Darling Harbour. The more upmarket Travelodge Wynyard (7-9 York St.; tel. 02/9274 1222) is more in the heart of the action and is surrounded by cafes and restaurants. It underwent renovation in 2007. Rooms there are nice and plush and cost A$174 (US$156/£78) for a standard room, A$195 (US$175/£87) for an executive room (with better views), and A$277 (US$250/£125) for larger rooms and studio apartments.
