What a nice property that is convenient to the Sydney Domestic Terminal. Originally booked this because we could walk there from domestic but decided to take the Sydney Super Shuttle (pay for after arrive at hotel) which we are glad we did because would have been difficult to walk with much luggage. Booked the return shuttle to International terminal through the hotel and was a wise, convenient, economical choice. Excellent hotel, staff with a very quiet room being this close to the airport. They also gave us a breakfast bag since we had to leave before the commentary breakfast opened. Highly recommend this facility.

Excellent room and value. Staff at checkin overworked as they also operate adjacent bar/bistro. Crowded and slow service in bistro. Easy checkin. Elevator card difficult to use or slow but worked fine for room.

Good value hotel. Less than 20 minutes to walk there with suitcases from the domestic terminal. Friendly staff. Room decor was nice. Quiet rooms. Airport shuttle was $12 per person and runs onn set times, requiring a booking. It was on time and efficient. Only ate breakfast here, which was ok. Very happy with the room and price. I did find the bed felt small for a queen bed and the bed sheet didn't fit properly and was lifting off the mattress. Would recommend this hotel for 1 night.

I have enjoyed the professionalism and friendliness of Maria - who works in the food section. Every morning she does not miss to say hi and be helpful. The internet access is a big high note. I would have put five but was a little disappointed by the housekeeping service. I have a five night stays- as I did not see worthwhile to do some cleaning the first 2 nights- I was not happy by the 3rd day, they did not change the towels and tidy up the room. I had to ask at the reception desk for new towels

Close to airport and within walking distance of Mascot train station. The burger van opposite the hotel was excellent. Breakfast was good in the hotel but evening food options not so good, which is why we went to the food van. We would stay again.
