Budget hotels in Sydney are not all equal. Some are cheaper than most, but offer less-than-average facilities and minimal customer service. But you can easily bypass a bad experience in a budget Sydney hotel by avoiding these 5 things:
- Bad location. Like many metropolitan cities, Sydney is a large city and budget hotels can easily be located 40 minutes from the city centre. So while a room may be surprisingly cheap, make sure you know exactly where the hotel is located - especially if you plan to get around via public transport.
Budget Sydney hotels like Cambridge Hotel is in the heart of the city. While far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the city, it is also within walking distance to the CBD. Bondi Beach is a short bus ride away, and the trendiest cafes, boutiques and restaurants are at your doorstep.
- Shared rooms. The last thing you want is to share accommodation with a complete stranger, for both security and privacy reasons. Unless you are fine those arrangements, check that you're not sharing a room with anyone before booking a budget Sydney hotel.
- Communal showers. Again, unless you are fine with this, make sure you have your own private bathroom for hygiene and privacy reasons.
- Minimal security. Budget Sydney hotels like Cambridge Hotel have 24-hour concierge and security, so help is always at hand if you need it. If you're travelling alone or with children, it is best to avoid hotels with minimal security.
- Large, overcrowded accommodation. If packed-out, rowdy hotels are not your idea of a holiday, opt for a smaller budget Sydney hotel. Apart from offering better and more personalised customer service, you will also get a decent night's rest! Cambridge Hotel has a maximum of 170 rooms - all fitted with stylish interiors, flatscreen TVs and European duvets, and at affordable prices. For more information, visit cambridgehotel.com.au.
