4774Papa Posted April 22, 2012 #1 Share Posted April 22, 2012 We will be in Australia (Sydney and Perth) next February and March. Looking for nice hotel for under $200 per night. Would like to be on the Rocks in Sydney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GradUT Posted April 22, 2012 #2 Share Posted April 22, 2012 You can get rooms with shared bath for under AUD 200 at the Bed and Breakfast Sydney Harbour located in The Rocks. Rooms with private baths run slightly more than AUD200. (I've stayed there; my friends have stayed there; my relatives have stayed there--we all love it.) Another option would be booking through Wotif.com for both Sydney and Perth. It's too early to book for next February and March, but you can look to see what's available and what the rates are now.

dizzy1948 Posted April 27, 2012 #3 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Hotels in Perth aren't cheap. You would be looking at anything from $190 upwards. No breakfast. If you are in Perth at the weekend it's cheaper. Most of the hotels are booked solid Monday to Friday morning for "fly in - fly outs" but weekends are a better option. This "boom" has been going on for about 18 months - and no sign of letting up. I have to book accomodation for our "fly in - fly outs" (Business people coming interstate) on a regular basis - so I know how hard it is. If you book well in advance - you could jag a bargain. wotif is a good site to check. There are lots of options - depending what you want - where you want to be. Perth is a small city really - compact is a better word - and no where near as lively as Sydney, Melbourne etc. Not trying to put you off -but it's a fact. It is constantly "under construction" and extremely expensive. If you were to pick hotels, I'd happily give you the low down - or anything else you might be interested in in Perth.

guardami Posted April 29, 2012 #4 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Try http://www.hotelclub.com - depending on what sort of quality you're looking for there are hotels in both Perth and Sydney (the Rocks) for under $200AUD/night in February on there at the moment. I'm not familiar with any hotels in the Rocks but I can recommend the Travelodge in Perth - I've stayed there myself 3 years ago and wouldn't hesitate to stay there again. It's only a 5 min walk to the city centre and the main shopping area (which means it's reasonably quiet in the evenings) and it has a CAT bus stop right out the front (free bus service or at least it was 3 years years ago). Plus, it was on the airport shuttle route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dizzy1948 Posted April 29, 2012 #5 Share Posted April 29, 2012 (edited) CAT buses all stop at 7.00pm at night - but they are a great way of getting round the city through the day - all free. You can access Perth Transport by visiting http://www.transperth.wa.gov.au - gives you all the train, bus timetables, trains, ferries, maps, quite useful. There is a tram that goes from Kings Park through to Burswood Casino - and reverse - gives you a commentary (think that's how it's spelt) as you go along - that's hop on hop off - but far from free - or cheap.

treasure4two Posted July 17, 2015 #6 Share Posted July 17, 2015 (edited) Miss Maud's in Perth-we booked for March, 2016 on Booking.com and only $334 total for two people for two days, including VAT and free large breakfast buffet and Wifi and Trip Advisor rates it highly. Sounds wonderful! Edited July 17, 2015 by treasure4two Changes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cassamanda Posted July 18, 2015 #7 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Maybe also consider a hotel in Fremantle for Perth as this is where the cruise terminal is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUT2407 Posted July 18, 2015 #8 Share Posted July 18, 2015 The IBIS in Sydney isn't too bad and I'm pretty sure under $200 AUS that's about $250 or so US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megsie Posted August 26, 2015 #12 Share Posted August 26, 2015 We stayed at Seasons of Perth, around $220 AUD for 2, including a great breakfast in the bistro. A lot of airline staff overnight there. An older hotel (80's?) but in good condition. In the city, it is very close and walking distances to buses, malls, restaurants etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4774Papa Posted September 16, 2015 Author #13 Share Posted September 16, 2015 We did our Australian cruise in Feb/March 2013 and loved it. We stayed in Miss Maud's in Perth and the hotel was clean and basic, but the food was fantastic. We ate every meal there. For Sydney, we found a great deal on Kayak for the Sydney Hilton for about $215 per night. It was nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bz Posted September 17, 2015 #14 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Got a fairly good deal at the York, sounds like a cross between a hotel and a serviced apartment. I'll give a review when we get back. Got it thru the last minute club, lmtclub.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
