Oodles of noodles
by clueless83 about Ramen Condor
One evening I had a craving for noodles and instead of traipsing around the city we thought we'd nip to the Japanese noodle bar up the road from our hotel (Travelodge Wynyard).
While in Australia I go to a Japanese restaurant and while in Japan I go to an Australian restaurant - go figure!
Anyway, this noodle restaurant I imagine gets more business through its takeaways as the seating is fairly limited, most of it being outside, plastic tablecloths and all. There was a sweet Japanese lady waitressing and while we were there the tables gradually got busier. The food didn't take long to arrive but after a while we began to struggle with our chopsticks, we had to ask a couple of times for forks but I think it was just because the waitress was a bit busy and scatty. I can't remember what I ate, think it may have been some sort of beef noodles. Tasted nice. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here but if you're staying at the Travelodge Wynyard its worth a look (especially if you've been trekking about and your feet are tired).

Great place

We stayed in this hotel the other night as we were seeing a play at the threatre royal. Great location as it was only about 15 min walk to Chinatown, Darling Harbour and other places. The rooms were qquite good, service was excellant and because our room service was going to take a little longer than normal (about 45 mins, not in a hurry anyway) they didnt charge use the room service surcharge. Just a great place to stay, will be staying there again very soon.

I stayed here for 2 nights and paid under A$100 a night. Great location and value for money! Will be staying there again. Note: if you want Westin class, you have to pay Westin $$. This is perfect for those looking for a bed to sleep in without all the other stuff you pay for but don't use!
Great Value
by A TripAdvisor Member
A great value hotel - Although the decor was a little dated and smelt of 'Hotel Chain', the room was of a good size and had all the mod cons.
A perfect location to explore the wonders of Sydney and only 5 mins walk to Circular Quay.
I would recommend this hotel to anyone wanting a value stay without having to stay in a hostel.
Best value Hotel in Sydney
by TripAdvisor Member spt3
This has to be the best value hotel in Sydney. Usually amongst the cheapest in most brochures but a real jem. If you're after a friendly, clean hotel with a good breakfast you cant go wrong. Excellent location 7-8 mins walk to Circular Quay to see the bridge and Opera House and about the same to Darling Harbour. Have stayed twice and would stay again!
Great location
by A TripAdvisor Member
Corus is a standard, tourist hotel in a great location within 5 minutes walk of the Rocks and harbour. Rooms are small but well furnished. Easily reached by train direct from airport.
Excellent Location!
by TripAdvisor Member Tiawamutu
Excellent location, only 10 mins walk to the Rocks area where you'll find the Sydney Harbour bridge, Opera House, and all the ferry terminals that take you everywhere really.
Very near to train station, that the train from the airport stops. Only $30 to the airport by taxi (if you prefer).
Hotel itself excellent. Very clean and great 'in room' facilities, including safe. Very friendly staff, and porters to carry your bags!
Breakfast was nice, but a bit expensive, but there are plenty of places to eat or take away in the near vicinity.
Very excited, as whilst we were there they started filming the new 'Superman' Film a few meters from our hotel.
Great hotel, would definitely recommend it, and would stay there again if in Sydney.

Sydney Tower + Oztrek - How long to allow for this experience?
by ian2510
Hi,
I'm trying to work out public transport timings for Saturday 19th January with the help of the wonderful http://www.131500.info website.
After arriving at our hotel (Travelodge Wynyard approx 3:20pm) our first visit will be to Sydney Tower, arriving there shortly after 4pm I expect.
I'd like to synchronise leaving there with catching a bus to Circular Quay afterwards, having a quick look at the Customs House, and taking the ferry to Luna Park (have 2 kids in tow).
Unfortunately I can't get much of an idea from the Oztrek website how long it (Oztrek) goes for, or what the session timings are.
I reckon we'll probably spend about 20-25 minutes on the observation deck. Any ideas how long Oztrek will take after that?
Thanks,
Ian.

I don't think there are session timings? But I could be wrong...I remember going first-come-first serve sort of thing.
Don't worry about bus times after the tower, as you can catch heaps of buses on Elizabeth St by David Jones and they all go to Circular Quay where Customs House is located. To be honest, I'd skip the bus and take a $6-$8 cab on Elizabeth St there - much less hassle.

I live in Sydney and have never done the Oztrek tour but I have been up the Sydney Tower and the view is spectacular .I looked up the website http://www.sydneytoweroztrek.com.au and could not find a time for the tour to tell you but it did have a special discount offer for tickets purchased online and in combo packages with other tourist places which might be worth a look .I also looked up the Whats on in Sydney website and it has up to date information and also has discount vouchers you can print off the computer for tourist places under the special offers section. As I know how expensive traveling can be with children so before you come have a look at
http://www.whatsoninsydney.com.
You might be able to save some money and I hope you all have a good time
