Rydges Sydney Airport Hotel
Quiet and convenient for early flights. It was disappointing that the main restaurant wasn’t open for our evening meal. Food in the Smithy’s Bar was excellent but it was crowded and noisy.

The room was as expected in this price point near the airport. The bed was clean and crisp, the staff were the best i have encountered in a long time, they couldn’t do enough for us.

Novotel Sydney International Airport Hotel
Quick check in. All needs met. We enjoyed a swim at the pool. Perhaps it would be good to let people know how to access the pool at check in.
