A Visit to
Sydney
We stayed at the
Rydges Jamison from 27th December to 2nd December 2005. After contemplating
which hotel reservation sites to choose from (the choices were Orbitz,
Priceline, and Expedia),
we booked our stay through HotelsSydney.com.
For location in Sydney
you can do no wrong. This is slap bang in the middle of the city. The
Harbour Bridge is 10 minutes walk max, and around the cove to the Opera
House is another 5 minutes.
The hotel itself was very nice. The entrance lobby is kept tidy and
quite, and the hotel staff were very friendly and helpful.
You have to use your room key/card for the lift, which we had no problems
with, but some people seemed to have trouble with this as their cards
would not work.
We were on the 29th floor, and although we couldn't see the bridge or
opera house, we had a view of harbour and we had no sound from the road
below.
The bathroom was great with a large walk in shower and seperat deep
bath. The room was complete with tv, hair dryer, iron, drinks (which
weren't overly expensive) etc.
There is a food court just down the road (literally 20 paces) which
was great for snacks, and there is a 24/7 store and a McDonalds (should
you wish) just down the road.
The mattress on the bed was extremly comfy, but I felt the carpet looked
a bit grubby. I booked an airport transfer through the hotel and they
were there to greet us in a lovely new BMW 7 series which was great
to slide into after the long flight.
If we ever go back to Sydney I would definatley stay here again, the
location is perfect, and the value for money was also very good.
