You are pretty much right in the heart of Sydney. Can walk across Hyde Park to the bars of Oxford Street. A long-ish (~2km) walk to Circular Quay. About half that distance to Darling Harbour.
You can walk the CBD itself real easy, it's maybe 3km from Central Station to Circular Quay. Maybe 1.5km from Hyde Park to Darling Harbour.
The problem with Sydney is when you want to go to one or more of the surroundings areas - Bondi, Kings X, Eastern Beaches, Newtown/Inner West, Manly, North Shore - they are all a fair distance apart and getting from one to the other is a pain in the ass.

Girlfriend's 21st in April and this is her present (+ flights). I can get two nights for $315, and looking at the Rydges, it looks like a bargain. Not going until mid April so I'm not sure if we'd even go to Bondi/other beaches.
Thanks for your help mate, much appreciated.
