Well-heeled Double Bay is an unlikely venue for a budget hotel, but thankfully the Savoy remains unpretentious, friendly and great value. Rooms are simple but comfortable, with good options for families. The superior rooms are a good size, and a decent breakfast is on hand for $8.50. Wi-fi costs a little extra.
