Travelodge Hotel Sydney Airport

8/10 Good

"Friendly staff. Room is good size, clean and what you need for a night before a flight. I was impressed by the soundproofing of the windows, while being so close to the airport you can’t barely hear the planes. Only concern I had was with the shuttle. I had specifically asked upon check in how often it runs and/or at what time to ensure I could make it on time for my flight. I was told it was every 5-10min, but when I got to the desk they told me it would rather be 20-25min… this was stressful and I would have planned to leave earlier had I known."

CONS: The pool is all one depth and just too deep for an average 7yr old to touch, its heated but still a little cold. The parking is $50/night and is a little smelly The TV is a bit of a nightmare to stream to"

Be flexible with dates: Prices may vary depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your dates may help you save on your stay in a Sydney hotel.
