Cheap Hotels in Mascot

"This hotel is much better than the chain hotels I've stayed at before; it's well-equipped and very thoughtful. They also offer a free shuttle that's incredibly timely – the driver for my ride was such a kind, cheerful old man. Previously, chain hotels near the airport were more expensive than this place, and their shuttle actually cost $20, even though it was only a 10-minute walk. Honestly, if you're visiting Sydney, you can just stay here. It's near the major station Mascot, only two stops from the city center. After visiting twice, I realized there's no need to stay in the city center, especially avoiding 'Oaks Sydney Castlereagh Suites.' That place was run-down, old, expensive, and the Asian front desk staff had a terrible attitude – a real nightmare. For the city center, I highly recommend 'YEHS Hotel Sydney Harbour Suites,' but for value for money, Travelodge Hotel Sydney Airport is still excellent, perhaps even the best."

"The room facilities were great, and the location was absolutely perfect – just a 5-minute walk to international departures. The hotel front desk staff, however, were quite unfriendly; this might have been due to my English not being very fluent. This hotel is ideal for catching early morning flights. Sydney international departures are incredibly busy in the mornings; I woke up at 6 AM and already saw traffic building up. It took almost half an hour from leaving the hotel to checking in my luggage. After that, I only had enough time to quickly browse duty-free before boarding."

"We had a really nice stay here. The room was clean, spacious, and comfortable, which was exactly what we needed after a long flight. We also appreciated that they let us check in a bit earlier, so we were able to rest right away. Breakfast was good with enough options to choose from, and everything was fresh. The staff were friendly and easy to deal with, and the whole check-in and check-out process was smooth. The location is also very convenient if you’re staying near Sydney Airport. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would definitely book here again the next time we’re in Sydney. Highly recommended!"

"This stay was excellent, very satisfying! The room size was just right, enough space to open two large suitcases, and the bathroom was quite spacious and clean. Check-in and check-out were smooth and convenient. Transportation was decent; it's a ten-minute walk to Mascot, or a bus ride of under 10 minutes to Sydney Airport T2 and T3. The breakfast buffet was extensive and delicious! Great value for money."

"As a budget hotel, the Ibis Budget Sydney Airport's facilities and services meet the basic needs for a layover stay. The prices are particularly attractive during off-peak seasons and specific times, making it a good option for budget-conscious travelers. On the flip side, it's important to manage your expectations and not anticipate too much from the facilities and services. For example, during my stay, the air conditioning provided almost no heat, making the room quite cold at night. You can walk to the hotel from the domestic terminal in just over ten minutes, which is convenient for travelers with only carry-on luggage. There's also a shuttle bus service between the airport hotels, costing AUD 12 for a one-way trip."

"Exceptional Stay – Truly Flawless! I had a wonderful stay at this hotel and was thoroughly impressed. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk to the train station and a nearby supermarket, which made getting around and grabbing essentials super convenient. The front desk staff provided excellent, welcoming service right from the moment I arrived. They were even kind enough to allow an early check-in since my room was ready, which I greatly appreciated after traveling. The room itself was fantastic: spacious, spotlessly clean, and fully equipped with everything I needed. It offers amazing value for money, and I genuinely have nothing to complain about. I highly recommend this place to anyone!"

"This hotel is very close to Sydney Airport, making it perfect for early morning flights or layovers. The room was clean and tidy, with good soundproofing and a very comfortable bed. The staff were friendly and efficient, making both check-in and check-out a smooth experience. The facilities are comprehensive, the overall environment is quiet, and it offers great value for money. I would definitely consider staying here again on my next visit to Sydney."

"I was very satisfied with my stay this time! The hotel environment was comfortable and tidy, the room was very clean, the bed was comfortable, and the amenities were all well-equipped. The staff were friendly and polite, check-in and check-out were smooth, and they were quick to provide assistance when needed. The hotel's location was convenient, with good transportation and dining options nearby. Overall, it's great value for money and I had a very comfortable stay. I would consider staying here again next time I'm in the area, and I highly recommend it to other travelers!"

"I stayed here for one night on my last day in Sydney before heading to the airport, and I absolutely loved it! First off, the bedding and furniture were clean and comfortable, and even though they were a bit old, they felt well-maintained. The room was also relatively spacious and had a Google Chromecast-enabled TV. There are tons of food options less than a 10-minute walk from the hotel, especially a wide variety of Asian food, which was great. There's also a large Woolworths nearby where I bought souvenirs and gifts. What I found most interesting was that initially, I was puzzled by the absence of bottled water in the room. But then I realized there were glass bottles, and you could fill them up with still, cold, or sparkling water from the lobby as much as you wanted. It was a little bit of a hassle, but it was also fun to be able to choose sparkling or cold water to my liking, plus it's environmentally friendly. And two things that were really excellent were the breakfast and the airport shuttle. The breakfast was very delicious and offered a good variety, including an egg station. And the airport shuttle! I booked a room that included the shuttle for two people, so I only had to pay an extra fee for one additional person, and it worked out perfectly. I had an early flight the next morning, and it was a very convenient and satisfying stay. I'd love to stay here again."

"I was in Sydney for a couple of nights for personal matters before flying to the Gold Coast, so I booked this hotel near the airport after a lot of searching. After arriving at T1 International Terminal, I followed the airport signs to the free shuttle bus to T3. From the T3 arrivals hall, it's about a 10-minute walk to the hotel according to the map. It's manageable if you don't have too much luggage, not a big deal. To get back to the airport, it's the same route. On the day I left, it was raining, so I took the hotel's airport shuttle, fearing my luggage would get wet if I walked. It cost $14, which isn't cheap, but a taxi would probably be similar. Facilities: It's an older hotel, so the furniture and appliances are a bit dated. The bathroom has a bathtub, so you need to be careful getting in and out. You have to turn off the lights one by one. They don't provide complimentary bottled water; even the mini-bar water costs money. There's one free carton of milk. If you need a toothbrush and toothpaste, you have to ask the front desk. I always bring my own, so it wasn't an issue for me, but it's something to note if you don't. The room overlooks the airport terminal, and it's not too noisy. Cleanliness: The housekeeping service was excellent and very thorough. They even tidied up my messy data cables and placed them neatly on the desk. The room looked very clean overall, even though the hotel is old. Service: My early morning flight arrived, and by the time I cleared customs and walked to the hotel, it was past 10 am. I couldn't check in yet, but I could store my luggage. The public restrooms in the lobby were also very clean and spacious. I used the restroom to change clothes, quickly freshened up and put on some makeup, then left my luggage and went out to take care of my business. Other: The hotel is near the airport. If you're heading into the city or elsewhere by train, the closest Mascot train station is about a 15-minute walk. It's not super close, but for younger people, this walking distance is acceptable. There are restaurants and a supermarket near the train station. Overall, it's quite convenient to stay here if you have an early morning flight or a short stopover."
