Whenever you think of a travel destination that combines plentiful opportunities for relaxation and enjoyment with friendly and enthusiastic locals, the vibrant Australian city of Sydney may come to mind. Popularly known as the "Harbour City" and boasting a plethora of wonderful tourist attractions including the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House as well as the sparkling Bondi Beach, it is no surprise that Sydney is a haven for solo travelers, backpackers, families and business travelers alike.

Similarly, the accommodation in this vibrant city also caters to visitors with various budgets, despite the fact that Sydney is an expensive city to visit. This includes a host of budget accommodation choices such as backpacker hostels, bed and breakfasts, budget hotels and motels. Staying in cheap Sydney hotels can help travelers to make big savings on their hotel costs so that they can better channel their resources to soak in the diverse offerings of the city.

In addition, budget travelers can also enjoy great comfort, quality amenities and hospitable service on par with the more up-market hotels in the city, making a stay in these hotels more than worthwhile. However, you should do your research in picking a hotel that would provide a good fit for your budget and expectations.

Like the diverse accommodation types in Sydney, dozens of budget accommodation choices can also be found in a variety of locations in the city. Whether you prefer to stay in a hotel overlooking the panoramic Darling Harbour or within minutes of the splendid nightlife and dining options at Oxford Street, or even in a motel in the city's outskirts, you will be able to find cheaper accommodation alternatives everywhere you look.

When contemplating where you may like to stay in Sydney, do consider choosing a location that grants you easy access to public transport links or the main business or leisure spots where you will be frequenting. By doing so, you will be able to save a lot on unnecessary travelling time and transport costs. To find cheaper hotels, you would be well-advised to find one which is slightly further away from these attractions but can still be easily reached within several minutes' walk.

Backpackers and budget travelers who want to stay in the heart of the downtown at an affordable rate can rejoice, as there are several youth and backpacker hostels located in the vicinity of popular downtown areas such as Kings Cross and Central Station.

As mentioned earlier, many of the cheap hotels in Sydney offer amenities that are more than sufficient to meet budget travelers' needs. They usually come with air-conditioned guestrooms with comfortable beddings as well as other basic in-room facilities such as coffee/tea makers, TVs and Internet access, along with room service and even kitchens which can be either shared or private.

Staying in an ideal cheap Sydney hotel can add value to your entire trip by saving you money and grant you easy access to the major attractions at the same time. It is thus important that you compare the amenities, services and locations of the various accommodation choices before you decide which one would best serve your needs.
