Rydges Sydney Airport Hotel

Easily the most convenient hotel to stay near Sydney International Airport, makes heaving off for early morning flight a breeze. Like the sky bar and the express checkout.

Given its proximity to the long stay car park, a direct airline across to the hotel would be great.

Right opposite the international terminal, the hotel was comfortable and pleasant place to spend an evening before an early flight. Food and drinks were reasonably priced (particularly during happy hour!) and good quality. Join the loyalty club to get a discount on food from the bar.

Cost of a night there was very high compared to everywhere else we stayed in Australia - a shame but understandable given the location.

Very surprising on the inside. At the airport, really nice hotel, I didn't hear a single plane. Not much nearby and you pay the airport tax on the train station to come in/out. But perfect for the night before an early flight. Modern, friendly staff, generally good atmosphere. Easy to meet up with people.

It's sound-proofed, so in your room you can't open windows, might be a problem for claustrophobic people. It's also expensive, especially the restaurant. Seems to be aimed at business travellers.
