Staying in Sydney Hotels on a Shoestring Budget
by: Paul Hayden
As a result of hosting the 2000 Summer Olympics, Sydney has become known worldwide as one of the most beautiful and friendly cities in the world with it?s Sydney Opera House on the harbor, it?s beautiful coastline, and the many great places to stay.
Perhaps you?ve finally set aside time for your dream vacation in the oldest city in Australia, or maybe you have a marketing business trip scheduled for your newly formed company, and your first stop is the famous capital of New South Wales. Whatever the reason for your visit, if you?re staying in Sydney on a shoestring budget, you might consider some of the following high quality, less expensive hotel and motel options available through http://www.hotelssydney.com
If that shoestring budget of yours is getting frayed, take a look at the Y on the Park, the YWCA?s inner city hotel.
With choices ranging from dorm style to deluxe, studio, and corporate rooms, and just about the best prices to be found, Y on the Park offers comfort, convenience, and affordability.
Located right in the heart of the of Sydney?s Central Business District, Y on the Park is within walking distance of some of Sydney?s best restaurants, cafe's, shopping, nightlife and attractions, including Hyde Park which houses the Hyde Park Barracks Museum.
Designed by colonial architect Francis Greenway, the Barracks building was the main housing for male convicts in New South Wales until it closed in 1848.
Also within easy walking distance is Sydney?s famous Oxford Street, home to specialty antique, fashion, book, and gift shops, including the Paddington Market Bazaar on Saturdays, with stalls selling gourmet foods, hand crafted gift and decorative items, trendy clothing, native plants, flowers, and more.
The Market also features live entertainment and food stalls with a wide variety of fabulous choices.
Note, the area around Taylor Square is the main entertainment region for Sydney?s gay and lesbian crowd.
If you?re anti-gay, you might want to stay away.
But for trips to outlying areas, keep in mind that the Museum railway station is only 100 meters (about 300 feet) away!
Another reasonable place to stay in the heart of Sydney is the Leisure Inn Barclay Hotel.
Located on Bayswater Road, right off Kings Cross, the Barclay is less than ten minutes from both the Central Business District and Paddington.
With air-conditioned standard and family rooms, the Leisure Inn Barclay has been noted by visitors as have one of the friendliest staffs around.
One customer even called it ?a gem of a find!?
Also within walking distance to Oxford Street?s famous pubs, restaurants, and nightlife, the Leisure Inn Barclay still offers easy access to trains, buses, and taxis ? in fact the bus stop is right outside the front door.
Many of the restaurants in the area are ethnic and include Italian, Indonesian, Vietnamese, and several Meditteranean cuisines.
If you want to find out what the locals enjoy, you can find some of their favorite pubs near the residential area of Paddington, just off Oxford, and East of Paddington town is one of the best places to look for daytime cafes and pub restaurants.
On the other hand, if you?re looking for entertainment after your lunch or supper, check out the Fox Studios or the Australian Centre for Photography.
Exciting sporting events and tours can be had at the Sydney Cricket Ground and the Aussie Stadium, and Paddington?s two cinemas often offer foreign or independent films.
Another city center hotel that?s just a short walk from the fantastic Paddington and Oxford Street areas is the Crest Hotel, also a ?budget? hotel with fairly high customer ratings.
Offering air-conditioned standard rooms, as well as ones with a view of lovely Sydney Harbor, the Crest Hotel provides laundry facilities, a spa, pool, and even massages.
One customer classified the hotel as ?value for money,? and it?s convenient location is one of its biggest values ? close to the popular shops and restaurants, but also right next to the
Kings Cross train station.
Also only minutes from the Central Business District and most of the landmarks of downtown Sydney is the Acacia Lodge, a budget hotel located in Surrey Hills.
Only a 20-minute walk to Oxford Street, the Acacia Lodge offers both Ensuite rooms and those with shared facilities overlooking Moore Park with its Moore Park Golf Course and easy access to the Sydney Showground and Fox Studios, as well as Aussie Stadium and the Sydney Cricket Grounds.
Whether you?re interested in exploring the exciting nightlife of Oxford Street, the fun shops in Paddington, or you need quick access to the Central Business District, Sydney offers a wide range of budget hotels to fit any price range!

Historical Hotels in Budapest, Hungary
Historical Hotels in Budapest, Hungary
by: Fionn Downhill
What emanates from the heart of the city of Budapest is a deliberate steadfastness despite its momentous past. There is substantial authenticity in a city that houses an array of historical hotels that acknowledge past cultural influences, exhibit classical elegance, and demonstrate collaborative innovation.
This verity can be witnessed in how these hotels have transformed themselves throughout the centuries.
Historical Hotels ? Relics Become Habitable
When Romans occupied the area where the city of Budapest now lies, around the 1st and 2nd Centuries, invigorating bathhouses or spas were built.
Many of these ancient spas are still being enjoyed today.
One Roman spa in particular is housed within the Corinthia Aquincum Hotel. While the hotel itself would not be considered historical, the spa that it espouses certainly is.
In this way, modern conveniences...

Are There Any Health Benefits In Using Dead Sea Products?
Are There Any Health Benefits In Using Dead Sea Products?
by: Paul Keene
Firstly, it is important to understand a little about the location of the source. The Dead Sea has a unique climate which has been shown to offer excellent natural treatment for many health problems.
The Dead Sea is the lowest place on earth, over 400 metres below sea level located between Israel and Jordan, the region has a dense air rich in bromine and other elements which filters and limits the ultraviolet B radiation from the sun, reducing the danger of sunburn and allowing longer exposure to the sun's rays. The thick atmospheric pressure is also associated with an increase in oxygen - 5 per cent richer than air at sea level and 10 per cent higher than the air in Jerusalem, only a two hour drive away.
The water in the Dead Sea contains 345 grams of mineral salts per liter and is approximately ten times higher in saline than ocean water and enriched by hydrogen...

Cheap Bed and Breakfast Accommodation In Central London
Cheap Bed and Breakfast Accommodation In Central London
by: Bob Handford
London has a reputation for expensive hotel accommodation with very little cheap budget hotels. OK so what is cheap. For the purposes of this article lets define cheap as below 100$US per night, (60 pounds sterling in local currency) for a standard double/twin room with all taxes paid.
Most of the hotel accommodation in this bracket is termed 'bed and breakfast' hotels. This can be misleading to the unaware. No it?s not a cosy family owned guest house with personal attentive hosts, traditional English breakfasts and home-made offerings, commonly available outside London. The vast majority are small hotels with 20-50 rooms, staffed by immigrants on very low salaries with very simple rooms, seldom lifts and 'continental breakfasts'. That is not to say that these establishments should be avoided, but there are an awful lot of poor quality ones.

Discount Barbados Vacation
Discount Barbados Vacation
by: Noel Warnham
The words Barbados and discount would not normally appear in the same sentence, however, if you are not incredibly wealthy or just don?t fancy spending several thousand per person on your next vacation, Barbados may still be within reach, and at a discount.
Your first consideration will be when to go? high season should obviously be avoided. If you are serious about saving money you will also want to try and pin down a deal on your flight to Barbados. Your saving here will probably be more significant the further you are traveling (sounds obvious). Someone flying from Europe may have more to gain than someone flying from Florida.
Going off-season will discount your vacation overall, but your largest single saving will probably be dependent on the hotel you choose. Staying at a cheaper hotel does not mean you have to have a miserable time, you can still wine and dine at the most fancy...
