    I would stay at The Shangri-La, The InterContinental or The Four Seasons. The rack rate is way above $ 100.00 a night, but you might be able to find some sort of deals online. Good luck.

    You after a decent place or just somewhere to crash at?

    Theres plenty of backpacker joints around the Cross and Sydney CBD that are cheap.

    Formule 1 are cheap and decent.

    The Oxford Koala Hotel is affordable and close to everything...but its a 3 star.

    I got a mate that rents out rooms to backpackers in a spot in Newtown....I can PM you his number if you want.

    http://www.lotel.com.au/ ........has some deals on lastminute.com.au at the moment, boutique place right in between Darlinghurst and Kings Cross. We had friends there last week for under a hundred bucks and they were happy.

    $150 should get you into some of the "8 Hotels" http://www.8hotels.com/our-hotels.html check them at lastminute.com.au, 4-5 star boutique joints centrally located. I've stayed in all of them, at the $150 end your room aint' gonna be huge but they are nice.

    in australia wotif is generally your best bet, i am in syd quite often for work and stay out in Parramatta which despite what I had been told I actually quite like, its a lot cheaper than the city and you can park on the street.
