Latest Sydney hotel reviews
no1birdlady Says: This historical old house shows how many of the houses here were converted to commercial use and then back to residential. It was built in apx. 1786. and was once home to a merchant, S. Sparrow, then was bought by Thomas Jost, a Halifax merchant. The family stayed here until...
no1birdlady Says: There is an interesting area of Sydney that has some of the old historical buildings which made up the original town. Cossit House is the home of a controversial Loyalist Anglican minister who came to start a new life in this British colony in 1786. He was the first rector...
jamiesno Says: Cape Breton is well know for its celtic celebrations and music. During my visit there was a festival ongoing but I didn't really get to see much of it. This would be a good time to visit the area when you have all these extra festivities on the go at the same time. Enjoy...

The Bean Bank: Lunch in a coffee shop
no1birdlady Says: We had asked about a local place to have lunch downtown in Sydney and were told this was a good sandwich place. It was noon time and the place was full of locals including a lot of girls from a nearby girls school. It's basically a coffee shop but they also served a wide...

jamiesno Says: This resturant looks like a very old house that has been converted. It's historic looking from the outside and has plenty of character.The service and food were great at this place, I am sure you won't go wrong. They have a deck upstairs that is good as well if the weather...
Casino Nova Scotia: Casino Night
jamiesno Says: The casino in Sydney was as fun as casinos go if you don't gamble. A bunch of us got together and through in ten dollars each just to see our $300 or so go to about $600 or so and then down to $0.There are plenty of slots, black jack and a russian roulette wheel.
JohnnieZee Says: Smooth Herman's (WORST) -- A large, extremely noisy night club that caters to the 19-24 year-old crowd. Friday and Saturday nights are the worst, unless you like pushing your way through a throng of drunk 19-24 year-olds. S.H. usually has live entertainment on Saturday...
Crown and Moose: Crown and Moose
jamiesno Says: The Crown and Moose is a nice little pub located right within the Delta Sydney hotel. In the night times there would be good music and live bands on a couple of occassions. There was certainly no shortage of live music in Sydney during my visit.For lunch they also had an...

Lisser Says: I think by car is the best way to see Cape Breton. It's perfect for going around the Cabot Trail and also for having the best views of all the scenery.

mainiacgal Says: Don't ever ask for soda, they will look at you like you are crazy. Ask for 'pop' if you need a drink.People are very nice in Nova Scotia.
Radar detectors are illegal....
mainiacgal Says: Radar detectors are illegal. Watch out for Moose!
Some places give really crappy...
mainiacgal Says: Some places give really crappy exchange rates for American money, look into this before you make a purchase, make sure you don't get ripped off. Gas stations give the best exchange.
mainiacgal Says: Pack some warm clothes if you are going in the winter, it's best to double up on everything...socks, shirts, etc.
jamiesno Says: This picture I provided here is not of Fortress Louisbourg. It's the waterfront at Sydney. I didn't make it to Fortress Louisbourg however I am going to try next time around. Here is just a quick description off of their web site.The community of Louisbourg with a population...
The Englishtown Ferry. It's...
Lisser Says: The Englishtown Ferry. It's one of the few remaining cable ferries in Nova Scotia. The ferry operates round the clock, and reservations are not required for this three minute crossing. The charge is $3.00 for non-residents. It's really something neat to see! It's just after...
jamiesno Says: I obviously didn't do any boating on this trip but the yacht club was right next to the hotel at the waterfront so I thought I would take a picture. They had some nice sailboats. If you are a sailor and looking for services when in this area you should probably check out...
