The 7 Best Hotels in Sydney (Updated 2025)

"Located in the historic Rocks neighborhood, this three-star hotel is just a five-minute walk from the iconic Opera House and Harbour Bridge. I especially like that it houses Australia’s longest-running Irish pub with regular live music; rooms are simple, minimalist, and practical but large with comfortable beds. Rooms include free Wi‑Fi, AC, and a coffee/tea maker, and the bathrooms, while small, are well-kept. There’s no breakfast on-site but plenty of nearby options—the emphasis here is more on location than amenities, offering good value and making it the best place to stay in The Rocks on a budget." - Matthew Kepnes
