The Best Inns and Inexpensive Hotels in Australia

Anytime you go to a place you've never been before it's difficult to tell, without recommendations, where's the best place to stay. On your own you can probably find decent accommodations but the entire trip can go wrong if you end up with a room that has faults and is expensive to boot.

One great place to stay while in Australia is The Russell at The Rocks, Sydney. This bed and breakfast is located in the old quarter of the city but is quite accommodating. If rustic is what you like you'll be very comfortable here.
