Best Sydney Hotels
Given the high cost of Sydney hotels and airfare, and many savvy travelers are looking all over the internet to salvage the best deals. Whether you want to stay in a tent, a hostel, a beach villa, a luxury boutique, an apartment or a trendy hotel, there are Sydney accommodations for you! Here are some of the most widely touted hotel experiences in Australia to consider.
If you're looking for Sydney hotels that are chic but affordable, then look no further than the Vibe Hotel in North Sydney, which rents rooms out for about $110/night.

Sometimes luxury hotels aren't what your family had in mind for your Sydney accommodations. For instance, if you're traveling with children, Barbara McMahon from the UK Guardian newspaper recommends staying at Sydney's Taronga Zoo. The "Roar and Snore" program includes "a guided night safari, tent accommodations, buffet dinner, refreshments, continental breakfast, behind-the-scene tours, free car parking and admission to the zoo the following day." The all-inclusive cost is $165 for adults and $110 for children. Sleeping bags, sheets and ground mats can also be rented for $10/night. Taronga zoo is home to more than 4,000 animals from over 350 different species. They've birthed elephants and platypuses on the property and are noted for having impressive "Wild Australia" and "Wild Asia" displays.
If you're looking to save money on Sydney hotels, then consider the Base Backpackers hostel in the center of Sydney, just a short walk from Darling Harbor, the Sydney Opera House and other popular attractions. A bus runs to Bondi Beach as well. You'll have to share a room with a few other people, but for $28/night, who's complaining? The girls-only floor, "The Sanctuary," is one of the best travel deals because each room comes with an Aveda welcome pack and the bathrooms are stellar, with movie-star mirrors. Double rooms with en suite bathrooms are also available for travelers who need a bit of privacy. For more information, visit www.stayatbase.com/base-backpackers-sydney-hostel.
