Doing a bit of searching on the net allowed me to discover the Rendezvous Stafford Hotel for $245 per night for our family of 4. The twin girls are still small enough to confortable share the single sofa bed.
This hotel complex is smallish, but the service is very good with friendly, helpful Aussies at your service. They are very responsive to requests & will help out any way they can.
It is located in a great spot in The Rocks & is only a couple of minutes walk down to Circular Quay which is the perfect spot from which to begin any exploration of Sydney.
There is a complimentary continental breakfast available in the breakfast room overlooking the pool & outdoor seating area on the ground level.
This is a 4 Star Hotel which is good value in terms of its location. There aren't many hotels around Circular Quay & The Rocks that are 4 or 5 Stars that are anywhere near this price. 5 Stars will generally cost you anything from mid 300's up to over 700 Australian $ per night.
For the above reasons I would recommend you stay here unless you can afford the 5 star luxuries & views offered by those other hotels.
We will definitely stay there again if we can get another good deal.
Great views indeed. Click on my attached photo to see our view which we enjoyed from the balcony of our room on the fourth floor - Room 410.
Now I must add here that you have to be on Floor 4 with the 400 rooms or higher on the 5th or 6th Floors to enjoy this view. There are other rooms in this little complex that are cheaper, but have street views onto Harrington Street only.Frankly there is no comparison.
