All Aboard: Sydney Accommodation Near Central Station

By Sean Bond


Staying close to the train station takes some of the edge off of your worries when important meetings loom or connections to flights. Maybe your parents expect you at a certain time and missing your train would only lead to unnecessary worry. On the other hand, if your family already lives in Sydney, choose Sydney accommodation near Central Station for a quick get away.

Near Central Station there are many attractions besides being able to get in and out of the city in a hurry. These include galleries, museums, architecture and more. Visit Darling Harbour or do some serious shopping. Without a car you are free from worrying about where you parked it.

Sebel Surry Hills boasts 270 rooms. Each one gives guests access to car parking for visitors coming to meet them at your hotel, plus spa, sauna and gym. Burn off steam after a long flight or train journey where sitting or standing still just about drove you crazy. Relax in front of an LCD TV with a drink from the mini bar.

With 24 hour reception every question will be answered. Find out a bit more about entertainment in the city, including pubs and clubs. Otherwise, simply stay put for a meal at the on-site restaurant and bar.

At the Marque Hotel feel some reassurance knowing that among your 24 hour lobby staff are first aid trained personnel. This is especially comforting if you bring little ones with you on holiday. Parents will worry. Kids aged twelve and under stay for free with their parents or guardians too.

Ease your mind of the professional worries that keep you awake at night by swimming in the pool. If swimming tires kids out, it could work on you too. The next morning run downstairs for a continental breakfast to start your day. Wake up service will help you rise in time to eat before catching your next train.

The Medina Executive contains only 98 rooms, which makes it sound like a bed and breakfast by comparison with some massive chain offerings. Enjoy the luxury of a spa, sauna and gymnasium to help you along with self-care, that idea which encouraged you to go on holiday in the first place. Then again, sometimes self care is more self-indulgent and lazy so do what feels good. Arrange for a babysitter to watch your children then head out alone, or if you come with a partner, take this opportunity to share an intimate walk and a quiet meal for two only. If you booked an apartment, going out may not be necessary. You have the use of a fully equipped kitchen so make use of what you paid for. Maybe even bake cookies for a friend before boarding your train to make a special delivery. A drink from the mini bar may help you to unwind in front of the LCD TV.

With an amazing 517 rooms the Mercure sounds like a colossus among hotels, but they aim to please each guest. Book modern comfort in standard style, serious luxury, or something between the two. All rooms have an LCD TV. Soak in your en suite tub after spending a long time waiting for trains or making transfers from one to the next. Some rooms have the extra special addition of an espresso machine and quality teas. Others provide a partition to place between living and sleeping spaces. Choose to enjoy a Sydney panorama from your window plus a sofa bed to make space for the bigger family.
