Need lodging recommendations for Sydney in February

My husband and I are looking for a place to stay in Sydney (either eastern suburbs or near central) for less than $150/night and would appreciate advice.

We'd like something within walking distance to public transportation or city attractions. Either a one bedroom apartment or hotel room (no youth hostels or shared bathrooms, please). We'll need it for a week, beginning the last week of February. Any suggestions are welcomed.

This is a useful website for short term lets of flats/apartments: http://www.stayz.com.au/short-term-r...ion/nsw/sydney

Surry Hills or East Sydney (inner East) are within walking distance of the city and are good area for restaurants and bars.

G'day Gabi, for the money and location you probably can't go past Hotel 59 in Bayswater Road. Check them out on Tripadvisor

Kings Cross is the red light district, I would not recommend staying there. Potts Point is the suburb right next door and a good place to stay.

And double check with us any place listing itself as "Potts Point". Some of them are in of Kings Cross, as was a Ward Avenue apartment recently.

victoria court hotel in potts point...thats the place i was thinking...ive been inside
its a boutique hotel...the rooms are quite ok size wise..the only thing i remember thinking is that on one occasion the room of our relatives looked out onto the courtyard which is covered in, roof as well so there wasnt a lot of light at the time...but maybe there are other rooms
i think the rels chose it because it didnt have a lot of steps
the street certainly has a few nice restaurants and it is all pretty well walking distance to some sights

There is a Holiday Inn right on the border of Potts Point and Kings Cross. I have stayed there a few times when I have gone to Sydney with a group of people. I would not walk down the street by myself at night but during the day it is ok. There is a train staight close by so easy to get in to town.

Another good site is the official tourism site for NSW. You enquire directly with the owners etc. plus its a great tourism resource. http://www.visitnsw.com/
