Rydges Sydney Airport Hotel

Convenient

Prós: Easygoing and very comfortable.

Contras: Couldn't sleep longer had to catch a flight.

Great location and comfortable

Prós: This is the most convenient hotel I have ever stayed at in my entire life. I took a train from Sydney, got out at the International Flights stop, went up the escalator, and walked across the street to my hotel. In the morning, I walked out of the hotel door, crossed the street and there was the United ticket counter. I could see it from my hotel window. Clean, comfortable, nice front desk staff, nice staff in the upstairs restaurant.

Contras: When I went to sit in the downstairs sportsbar, the bartender told me to just sit anywhere, but then no one ever came to help me (although the waiter was helping everyone else.) I don't know if this was a miscommunication or if they were understaffed, but I finally gave up and waited for the upstairs restaurant to open. This was a pretty minor problem, given how much I appreciated this hotel!

Terrific Way to Commence A Journey

Prós: Everything. Coffee shop, sports bar and restaurant. Great staff. Quiet, safe and glory be - late checkout.

Contras: Nothing

Easy in and out

Prós: Location tough to beat for overnight travellers. Shuttle drops you off and walk out the door and across street to international terminal. Popped downstairs to bat for quick bite, some of the food typical pub good but had the curry and must say it was outstanding (and I'm a foodie). Staff behind bar a little aloof but they did their job. I'm Canadian so maybe we are just a little more chatty lol. Anyways place was clean, bed was great and all in all great bang for the buck. Would definitely rebook if I was flying through Sydney again. Thumbs up.

International Airport Access

Prós: Short walk from International departures area. Can't beat the location! Quiet rooms, modern and clean.

Terrific stay!

Prós: View of the airport. Proximity to the airport. Very clean, nice hotel. Good complimentary breakfast.

Contras: Regret didn't know there was an airplane viewing area.
