KBC Posted June 27, 2012 #1 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Despite lengthy research... I am still struggling to find a day room at a Sydney hotel in mid January. We will disembark the ship around the customary 09:00am time, and our flight home to the UK is not until 10:30pm. In the past we have booked a hotel day room and found it worked very well, freeing us up for the day before returning to the room for a relax, shower and change of clothes prior to heading over to the airport. If all fails, we can shower and change at the airport but would much prefer to book a room if possible. Anyone any hotel suggestions??

Cheers I hope I'm wrong for your sake Katie but it's not something I've ever seen here for many years. Hopefully a Sydney local may know of a hotel that offers day rooms (and that's not also out at the airport). pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have now received a quote from an airport hotel which will accommodate us until 6pm which is a start!! We would much rather use a hotel closer to the harbour if possible but realise that comprimise may be the key. I will continue with my quest.....:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cazz0069 Posted June 27, 2012 #4 Share Posted June 27, 2012 If you are getting into the OPT there is hotel directly opposite the ship that we stayed in for the day. Its called the Old Sydney Holiday Inn, i think the rate is about $150 for the day. We checked out at 5, but i`m sure it wouldnt be much higher. Its that close to the terminal you can literally just cross the road and your there! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
room010 Posted June 27, 2012 #5 Share Posted June 27, 2012 You can't beat the Old Sydney HI in The Rocks district for location. I don't know if they offer day rates but given the large number of cruisers looking for exactly that at the end of their cruises it would be a smart move. I would contact them direct and negotiate!

Sutho Posted June 27, 2012 #6 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Hotels near the airport do it but you need to ring and book them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callmewhatever Posted June 28, 2012 #7 Share Posted June 28, 2012 KBC do u mind telling us what they r charging u for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBC Posted June 28, 2012 Author #8 Share Posted June 28, 2012 KBC do u mind telling us what they r charging u for this? Certainly - The Holiday Inn (Airport) quoted $120 with a 6pm checkout. I have now received a further quote from the Sydney Hilton for $124 with a 5pm checkout. I think I will go for the latter one and hope for a late checkout. :p Thank you very much to those who took the time to reply to my query. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not even that much of a walk up from the OPT depending on how much luggage you have, but definitely a very cheap cab ride. If it still exists and you have a chance, go down and have a look at the Marble Bar (under the Hilton). pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
