Rydges Sydney Central, an EVT hotel
Staying at Rydges Sydney Central was an absolute highlight of my trip. Located right in the heart of the city, just a short walk from Central Station, it’s incredibly convenient for getting around. I loved how close I was to Chinatown—perfect for grabbing dinner—and the light rail stops just minutes away, making a visit to the Opera House super easy. Inside the hotel, the amenities are top-notch: a lovely indoor pool, sauna, and a relaxing Japanese-style hot tub that made for the perfect unwind after a busy day exploring. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the overall atmosphere felt both modern and welcoming. It’s rare to find such a well-rounded stay with great value—definitely a place I’d recommend and return to.
Rydges Camperdown, an EVT hotel
Staying at Rydges Camperdown was a great experience overall. The room was surprisingly spacious for the price, offering plenty of comfort and space—perfect for both solo travelers and families. One of the biggest perks is how close it is to the University of Sydney; it’s just a short walk or quick ride on the train, making it ideal if you’re studying or visiting campus. Breakfast was decent—not overly varied, but fresh and tasty with a good mix of hot and cold options. It wasn’t fancy, but it hit the mark for a solid start to the day. Considering the location, cleanliness, and value for money, this place really delivers. I’d definitely recommend it and would stay here again when in Sydney.
Rydges World Square, an EVT hotel
This was hands down the highest-rated hotel among all our stays during our trip to Australia, and honestly, it's hard to beat. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from Chinatown, Hyde Park, and St. Mary’s Cathedral. Right downstairs is a bustling shopping center with restaurants, cafes, and bars, making dining and exploring super convenient. The front desk staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always going the extra mile. The on-site restaurant has a clean, inviting atmosphere, and the food quality was solid. Even though the hotel isn’t brand new, the overall experience was top-notch. My kids kept saying it was their favorite stay, which says it all. Great value, great service, and a perfect base for discovering Sydney.
Rydges North Sydney
The Rydges North Sydney recently underwent a refreshing renovation, and it truly shows—the design is modern and stylish throughout, with a comfortable vibe that makes the stay enjoyable. The rooms are well-appointed, and the bedding feels luxurious. That said, there are a few minor drawbacks: the air conditioning unit produces noticeable noise when running, and sound insulation isn’t ideal—especially during nighttime, when construction or traffic near the area can be heard occasionally. Still, the hotel’s location is excellent; it’s just a short walk to the train station, making downtown Sydney easy to reach. With plenty of dining options and convenience stores nearby, it’s a solid choice for both business and leisure travelers. Overall, the pros definitely outweigh the cons, and I’d recommend it for anyone looking for a convenient, well-designed base in North Sydney.
Rydges Darling Square Apartment Hotel, an EVT Hotel
Staying at Rydges Darling Square Apartment Hotel was a great experience overall. The room was spacious, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Its location is unbeatable—just a short walk to Chinatown and the heart of Sydney’s shopping district, making it super convenient for exploring the city. Public transport access is excellent too, with the metro nearby. The only minor downside was the check-in time being later than expected, which meant waiting a bit, but the staff were very polite and helpful during the process. Despite that small hiccup, the hotel’s excellent location, modern amenities, and friendly service made it a top choice. I’d definitely stay here again on my next trip to Sydney—highly recommend for travelers looking for comfort and convenience in a central spot.
Rydges Australia Square
Staying at Rydges Australia Square in Sydney was a fantastic experience, especially given the unbeatable location. Just a 100-meter walk from the iconic Christmas Tree Lane, and it’s equally close to Martin Place and Town Hall—perfect for exploring the city center. A quick 333 bus ride takes you straight to Bondi Beach, and the Opera House is only about a kilometer away—great for a stroll with a chance to spot seals by the water. The hotel is located at 97 Pitt Street, and taking an Uber to the airport costs around AUD 38 (roughly CNY 160), which is more convenient and often cheaper than using the OPAL card, especially if you're traveling with a partner. The double room has a slightly small bed, but that’s understandable considering the prime location. Breakfast includes bread, eggs, bacon, beans, coffee, and yogurt—solid basics, though there’s no fresh fruit or vegetables. Still, it’s reliable and fits well within the overall value. Overall, this is a great choice for travelers who prioritize convenience and good location without breaking the bank.
The Capitol Hotel Sydney, an EVT hotel
Staying at The Capitol Hotel Sydney was an absolute delight from start to finish. The room was spotless, spacious, and beautifully designed—every detail felt thoughtfully curated. I loved the quiet, elegant atmosphere, and being just a short walk from downtown made exploring Sydney effortless. The staff went above and beyond with their warm, professional service—always ready to help, yet never intrusive. It’s rare to find such a perfect blend of comfort, location, and hospitality. I’ll definitely be returning next time I visit Sydney and highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for a memorable stay.
Orange Stay Apartments Potts Point
Staying at Orange Stay Apartments Potts Point was a solid choice, especially for the location. The building is just steps away from King Cross Metro station, with a bus stop right outside—perfect for getting around Sydney. The area itself is vibrant, packed with diverse restaurants, local markets, and shops, making daily life super convenient. The apartment had a smart access system with magnetic key cards for both the main door and elevator. We were in a two-bedroom unit: the larger bedroom had a built-in wardrobe and a private balcony—great for relaxing. However, the second bedroom wasn’t ideal; it was separated from the living area by a partial wall that didn’t reach the ceiling, and there was only one narrow shelf for clothes. Plus, it faced a very noisy street, so we had to keep the window closed most of the time. The open-plan living-dining area included a full kitchenette, and the bathroom came with a shower. Wi-Fi was strong and reliable. Cleaning was done weekly, and while not daily, they provided essentials like toiletries, dish soap, and laundry detergent. Since there’s no front desk, we coordinated our check-in time directly with the onsite manager who gave us his contact number. For checkout, we simply left the keys inside the unit and walked out—no hassle at all. The rate was the highest among all my accommodations in Australia, but considering Sydney’s premium pricing and prime location, it felt justified. Overall, I’d recommend this place if you value convenience, great transport links, and a central base in a lively neighborhood.
Mantra Chatswood
Staying at Mantra Chatswood was a fantastic experience. The room was spotless and well-maintained, with everything in perfect condition—from the bedding to the bathroom fixtures.

There are plenty of dining options and local attractions nearby, making it ideal for both business and leisure travelers. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Highly recommend this hotel—it’s a great value and truly delivers on comfort and convenience.
Meriton Suites Coward Street
Staying here was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The location is unbeatable—just steps away from Mascot Station and multiple bus stops, making it super easy to explore Sydney or head to the airport. My room was spacious, clean, and beautifully designed with modern touches throughout. I loved the king-sized bed—it was incredibly comfortable, and the rain shower in the bathroom was a real treat after a long day. The staff at the front desk were genuinely friendly and helpful, going out of their way to make sure everything was perfect. It’s clear they take pride in their service. For a seamless, convenient, and relaxing stay in Sydney, this place really delivers. Highly recommend!
202 Elizabeth
Staying at 202 Elizabeth Hotel was a delightful experience from start to finish. The room was spotlessly clean, cozy, and thoughtfully designed—perfect for a comfortable stay without feeling cramped. Located just steps away from the metro station, getting around Sydney was incredibly convenient, whether heading to the CBD, Opera House, or Harbour Bridge. The staff went above and beyond with friendly, genuine service—always ready to help with local tips or recommendations. It’s clear this place values guest comfort and satisfaction. With its unbeatable location, cleanliness, and warm hospitality, it’s a standout choice for travelers looking for a relaxed yet vibrant base in Sydney. I’d absolutely stay here again.
The Sebel Quay West Suites Sydney
Staying at The Sebel Quay West Suites Sydney was an absolute highlight of my trip to Sydney. The views from the room were breathtaking—direct sightlines to the harbor and the iconic Opera House, especially stunning during sunset. The apartment-style rooms are spacious and well-designed, perfect for families or longer stays. I appreciated having a washing machine in the unit, which made packing light much easier. Location-wise, it's unbeatable—just a short walk to the city center, the Opera House, and Harbour Bridge. It truly lives up to the dream of what Sydney should be. The only minor downside is the parking cost, which can be quite high if you're not careful—make sure you don't accidentally enter Wilson Parking, as rates there can add up quickly. Overall, the experience was excellent, and with such a prime location and great amenities, the value still shines through. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Sydney.
