Cheap Hotels in Sydney

"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!"

"We had an amazing dining experience at Sokyo. The sushi and sashimi were incredibly fresh, and every dish was beautifully presented. The atmosphere was elegant yet relaxed, making it a perfect place for a special occasion. The staff were friendly and attentive, and overall it was one of the best Japanese dining experiences we’ve had in Sydney. We’d definitely love to come back."

"The hotel is a 10-minute walk from Mascot train station. I'd rather take the train to the Domestic Airport station, exit at T3, then take bus 350 (towards Bondi Junction) for two stops. Get off there and walk for 2 minutes. The hotel is close to the airport, but there's no complimentary shuttle service, and it costs about AUD 12. If I didn't have heavy luggage, public transport would actually be much more convenient and cheaper. The staff were friendly. The room was generally clean and comfortable. The in-room Wi-Fi was decent, but the TV channels weren't appealing, and screen mirroring wasn't available. Buffet breakfast, if paid separately, costs AUD 35. What I appreciated most was the complimentary small carton of milk in the fridge."

"I had previously stayed here for one night because of an early flight, and I thought it was pretty good. Having a shuttle service is really important! So, when I returned to Sydney from Cairns, I chose this place again and stayed for two nights. It's about a 15-minute walk to Mascot Station, which makes it very convenient to get to the city center. The price is also significantly cheaper than in the city, so it's a good option. Near Mascot Station, there are restaurants, supermarkets, and even a drugstore, which is quite convenient."

"The location was perfect, and there was two hairdryers provided in the bathroom. We stayed in a triple room, but the beds weren’t very comfortable. Whenever one person moved, the bed shook and woke me up. However, considering the price, location, and the helpfulness of the staff, overall it was a great stay."

"The room facilities were on par with a basic guesthouse in China. The hotel itself is quite large, with dozens of rooms on each floor, and the furnishings and design are similar to budget hotels in China. Before coming, I was really worried about hygiene because of many negative reviews online, but once I arrived, I found that they clean the rooms daily. The receptionist at the front desk was very friendly and effectively helped us solve our issues. I was also worried about noise due to poor soundproofing, but we actually stayed for 7 nights and it was very quiet the whole time. Even though the hotel is next to Thai Town and near Chinatown, it wasn't noisy at all. The internet, however, was really bad. You could only get a smooth connection in the common areas! The best spot for internet in the room was the toilet! I hope the hotel can improve this, otherwise, it's a real deterrent for guests!"

"I want to specially thank the two lovely ladies in my photo, Caroline and Linh. Whenever I encountered a problem and brought it to their attention, they were both incredibly enthusiastic and helpful in resolving it. A special shout-out goes to Linh, the manager on duty that day. In my eyes, she's an angel with a beautiful heart. When I told her about the issue I was facing, she promptly and exceptionally resolved it. I feel very fortunate to have met her on my last day staying at the Shangri-La. I had booked a total of three nights, and the first two nights were not pleasant. When I reported issues to the manager on duty at the time (a Korean lady, whose name I've forgotten and don't wish to remember, she was incredibly arrogant and unreasonable, I truly don't understand how she holds a managerial position), I received no respect whatsoever. Instead, she used her position to intimidate me. When she said she couldn't resolve it, I asked if I could speak to her manager. She arrogantly said she *was* the manager, implying that speaking to anyone else wouldn't help and she wouldn't change my room. I told her fine, and the next morning I went to the front desk to find another manager to request a refund for the third night's room charge, as the current room was not what I wanted. Originally, encountering this problem left me with some regret, but thanks to Manager Linh's thoughtful and efficient help in resolving it properly, she not only dispelled my troubles but also transformed this experience from regrettable into a perfectly wonderful memory! Her professional and warm service made me feel so comforted and cared for. Thank you for your dedication, I will definitely come again next time~💛"

"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."

"Location wise, it's close to North Sydney Station. Metro station, Victoria Cross, is a few more minutes down the road. Plus, easy access to various bus routes nearby. Room is spacious in size. Kitchen has all essential utensils. Washer and dryer are placed behind a door to make a private utility section. Very neat and tidy. Bedroom has a comfy bed and a wardrobe in good size. Bathroom is in a good size too with a separate shower cubicle. The only downside is shower is very noisy. Guess there is a water pump behind the wall. Water pressure of the shower is sort of weak. I specially requested for a quiet room on the high floor but was placed in mid level only. One of the days, the internet was down from morning till late afternoon. Found it inconvenient as I needed to work in the room. Nonetheless, this hotel is of good value. I'd consider Meriton Suites again for my future Sydney trips."

"I stayed at The Jensens and while the location is undeniably ideal, close to everything you need and in a vibrant, convenient area, the stay was let down by a major issue. The soundproofing isn’t great, with doors frequently slamming throughout the property. However, given that it’s a hostel-style accommodation, this was something we were able to accept and move past. What wasn’t acceptable, though, was the presence of rats in the walls and ceiling above our room. We were woken multiple times each night by loud scratching and scurrying noises, which was extremely unsettling and made it very difficult to sleep. We also have audio recordings that clearly capture the extent of the problem. It’s a real shame, as the location is fantastic, but this issue seriously impacted our stay. I would strongly recommend that management address the pest problem as a priority."
