What's the quickest and easiest way to find budget accommodation in Sydney?

You can of course Google for budget accommodation but you spend a long time surfing through different websites, which are all designed differently and often for good looks, and it can take considerable time to find out the practical basic information of what the room prices are, what the facilities are, what the location is, and what previous customers thought of the place.
Whenever we travel anywhere we use a comparison website that shows you all the choices available, together with prices, location maps, and guest reviews, laid out right next to eachother, so it is easy to compare and make a choice.

The search features on the site make finding your ideal budget accommodation a breeze, after choosing your city and dates you will be presented with a page like below, and then you can refine your search by using a slider to set your price, and choose from accommodation types such as hostels, motels, hotels, apartments and even campsites!
