So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Finding The Cheapest Hotels In Sydney Australia For Budget Vacations

By Howard Rudd


The huge number of cheap hotels only makes it that much harder to find the cheapest hotels in Sydney. So for cheapskates who will go to any length to make sure there is nothing cheaper available, here's how you do it. Rule no. 1 is that you shouldn't believe any hotel that claims to be the cheapest hotel.

That's because this is an ongoing struggle, and the best that can be done is to pinpoint specific areas within Sydney where many cheap hotels are bunched together. These hotels in the same area regularly undercut each other with lower rates and there's only one sure-fire way to find out which one is the cheapest.

That sure-fire way would be to tramp around in the area, or call them in person via telephone. Rates posted on the hotel's website or found through an online travel agency won't do much good here because the cheapest ones don't offer the same rates online, if at all. Also, rates differ based on peak periods and dates, so those looking at the cheapest rates should find a nice and quite period to visit.

Getting down to the exact location, there are 320 Sydney hotels, all told. A huge majority of these hotels are quite affordable, and some are dirt-cheap. The Central Business District is as good a place as any for visitors, and it's a good bet that almost all the cheapest hotels in Sydney will either be in the CBD or be within close range.

Another possibility is the Style Mile. Famous for its fashion sense and shopping, it also has some extremely affordable and chic hotels on Oxford Street in Paddington and Hyde Park. These hotels are definitely a value deal for visitors with amenities that aren't usually found in cheap hotels.

Travelers staying in a cheap Oxford St. Hotel can expect everything from free wifi internet to a complimentary breakfast and swimming pool, onsite bar and lounge with a restaurant, and maybe also a fitness centre. The biggest positive is, of course, the location with Australia's most famous shopping zone right outside the hotel's door.

The Haymarket and Kings Cross are two more places where travelers will easily find a budget hotel. Kings Cross especially is a place that's near perfect for budget travelers. Cheap hotels are surrounded with restaurants, nightclubs, bars and all kinds of entertainment. The Sydney attractions, as always, are just a short hop away.

Hotels in the suburbs will likely have room rates a lot lower than those in and around the city centre. For example, one good location would be the Eastern suburbs, in the vicinity of Bondi. Another choice would be the Northern suburbs, somewhere close to Manly.

The takeaway here is that the cheapest hotels in Sydney await travelers who know their way around Sydney. All that's required is to be able to go around and make a few enquiries in one of the aforementioned areas. Again, please note that rates can go and down drastically based on the date and month, so cheapskates are advised to plan their stay dates in order to avoid the crowds.
