Accommodation - spoilt for choice
A range of accommodation in Sydney.
North Sydney Harbourview Hotel is an economical 4-star hotel with double rooms starting from around $165/night or $189/night including breakfasts on weekends. We recommend staying at this hotel because the venue is slightly out of the center of Sydney and away from other hotels. Because of the huge number and variety of accommodation choices within Sydney though, you might want to choose to stay somewhere else and walk, drive or catch the train to the conference venue. Please note though that there is very limited car parking available at the hotel itself.

If you would prefer to book well in advance of IJET-20, then you might like to use the above sites to find something that interests you and then book directly with that hotel. As you can see on these booking sites, prices vary widely. If you do choose to stay somewhere else other than the North Sydney Harbourview Hotel, please ensure you understand how to get to the venue hotel and how much it will cost. Remember that taxi fares can add up to more than you save on the room charge!
