ibis budget Sydney Airport

We enjoyed the expansive view to the East of the airport and found the size of the room and the bathroom (while small) to be perfectly adequate. Nice comfy bed with crisp white linen and one good sized pillow each. Big TV.

If I could have given them a zero I would have. If you are flying out of Sydney Airport and choose to stay at a hotel the night before, do not stay at the Ibis Budget Hotel in Ross Smith Avenue Mascot. I couldn't wait to get out of there (I cancelled my remaining reservations and went to the Travelodge). It's definitely "you get what you pay for". Cheap, nasty and with constant noise all night from the main road below my closed window. The guy at reception obviously didn’t want to be there and it showed. I can whole heartedly recommend the Travelodge Hotel Sydney Airport in King Street Mascot. It is extremely quiet (road traffic wise and neighbours). I booked 5 rooms and wanted them all together on the same floor (7 family members) when we flew out and also when we returned and the hotel staff were very accommodating. The Travelodge rooms are comfortable and clean and the staff are lovely. It also has a nice little restaurant on the ground floor. It is definitely worth paying a little extra at the Travelodge for the rooms than the cheaper Ibis Budget Hotel.

My 60-year-old mother arrived late in the evening to stay here as she had an early morning flight, only to realise she had accidentally booked her stay for March 24 instead of February 24. She fully acknowledged that this was her mistake and did not demand a refund. What was extremely disappointing, however, was the way she was treated by the staff member on duty. Instead of showing any understanding or offering assistance, he laughed at her and simply said there was nothing he could do. No attempt was made to suggest alternatives, or offer any practical help. She was left visibly stressed and had to walk back out onto the street to try to find last-minute accommodation on her own. Mistakes happen — especially when booking travel — she acknowledges this, but basic courtesy and empathy should always be part of customer service. A little kindness in that moment would have made a world of difference.My 60-year-old mother arrived late in the evening to stay here as she had an early morning flight, only to realise she had accidentally booked her stay for March 24 instead of February 24.

It is a modest airport hotel, you can not expect more than a basic sleep. The room itself, i got their best room they have, enough space for opening the suitcase. Staying for 2 weeks and the cleaning was every 3 days 😃. Amenities, bring tooth paste and brush yourself, towel is given, hot bath water ready, tea coffee sugar provided but self service. The one that really help is the water, it is free just fill the tumbler or bottle you have, so no need to pay 3 $ for bottled water. If you pay also for breakfast, the seating is at Mantra Hotel nearby. The menu is quite satisfying compare to the same class hotel. Variety of breads, hasbrown (yummy), lots egg, fruits, coffee, etc. If youre lucky, the view of landing airplanes will be at your window every hour🤣. The domestic airport just 1.5 km by foot.

Staff were very friendly and accommodating, but the room was VERY basic. No plugs by the bed, mattress wasn't great and the cheapest flatest pillows I've ever slept on. So unless you're on an extremely tight budget, for $30 extra, I'd definitely go next door to the Mantra.

If the Hotel says Ibis BUDGET, don't expect the Sheraton or other 5-star hotel. Having said that, this hotel is clean and tidy and is really designed for the overnight traveller wanting an early flight the next morning. It is an easy 15 min walk to the domestic terminal, there is a regular shuttle at $12 pp, however we caught a cab for $15, to the door. There is a nice restaurant and bar right next door at the MANTRA, which does breakfast, lunch and dinner, and may have charge back facilities. Yes, the rooms and shower are small and there were a few cracks in tiles in our room, but overall, it is a very handy place to stay. Staff are friendly and helpful, and whilst the beds aren't large, they are very comfortable

Not far from the international airport which is great (20 minutes with a taxi) and you're not so far to the CBD either. The bed is good, the bathroom make the job. The welcome wasn't the worst but it could be better. If you have a stop flight and you want to sleep near the airport, I will recommand it

walked from the airport because the map showed it was about 16 minutes away, which I was fine with. However, the walking route was confusing and required crossing roads without traffic lights. Although the hotel is near the airport, the soundproofing is quite poor and I could clearly hear airplanes. Considering the room price is quite high, I was also surprised that the shuttle bus is not included and costs extra. Overall, a bit disappointing for the price.

I was trying to give this zero stars, or a half a star, but the minimum is one star. This place is filthy! The cups in our room were dirty, the rug was dirty with hairballs, there was dust on the mirrors above the bathroom sink. At US$200 per night, this was terrible. I'm not posting pictures because it's so disgusting. Oh, and it took me forever to post this review because the Internet is slower than one bar on the cellular network!

We are staying here now and the room is so hot I can't sleep so I figured I'd go ahead and review. My initial opinion is that it's not bad for a budget hotel. The room and bathroom are small and bare but it was relatively inexpensive and it's close to the airport, which is handy for our morning flight. The TV has a lot of channels and there's a Krispy Kreme next door if you're craving a late night donut. It is also pretty quiet despite being by a busy street and quite a few guests. BUT - this is definitely a situation where the proverbial devil is in the details. The hotel advertises a shuttle but fails to mention that it's $10 per person. {Hint: Uber is $15 for up to 4 people, and you're not restricted by the shuttle times.} The USB plug in our room is broken, which is really annoying. The pillows are small and flat, and the shower floods the whole bathroom. The biggest issue by far, though, is that it feels like we are sleeping (well trying to sleep) on the surface of the sun. It's 26 degrees (79 Fahrenheit) and despite blasting the AC for the last few hours it's not budging. It's only 15 degrees (59 Fahrenheit) outside but the window doesn't open so no breeze. At this point I would consider opening the hall door but it's a sauna out there too.

I would never come here again unless they do renovations and double the size of the room And add in extra power outlets. Booked a room with the ABILITY to sleep 4 people and we couldn't even fit all the luggage in here without walking all over it. We didn't bring in much for luggage. There was 1 power outlet but it was on the other side of the room and it was a tiny shelf so you didn't have enough room to charge everything. As well, there wasn't enough power outlets to charge everything. The toilet and shower room was so small you could barely even fit one person in. The sink was in with the shower. We tried checking in 30 minutes early they wouldn't let us. They offered to put the luggage in a secure area so we could go tour Sydney. The problem was IT WASN'T a secure area. It was unlocked and not monitored anyone had the ability to go in there anytime and get stuff. Thank God all our luggage was still there. I ended up having to go and book a separate room, because there wasn't enough space for everyone. I ended up having to pay more money than I should've had to pay because they didn't give what they should've given in the first room. The second room I got, which was just for myself and had one queen bed in it. It had three charging stations both for a regular power cord, as well as USB. Tons of luggage space. The bathroom was a decent sized. It only had a shower no tub but that's fine. A standard queen room was a decent room. But their room which was supposed to be larger to fit more people wasn't larger at all. It was like they took the Standard queen room and it's size and just took space away from the washroom to fit a queen and two twins. Which is why there was no floor space cause they didn't add in the extra room that was needed. They just tried to add an extra beds, which then created. No floor space as well they took away power outlets. Definitely not worth the money I feel like it's more of a money grab and they don't make it plain and clear that the larger room is not actually larger. I'm surprised the room with the ability to sleep, for people, did not break some sort of fire code or regulation.

I was supposed to be there longer but I checked out on Sunday due to the state of the room. The cleaning standards were really poor budget would mean poor cleanliness the duvet had no covers, a massive open vent/hole right above the shower that wasn't covered, and extremely dirty. The key card was highly temperamental to the point where I had to go to the front desk multiple times to fix my card.

Grim. Overpriced hostel really. Very basic. Bathroom flooded and was very smelly. Sheets were clean but minimal bedding. Incredibly noisy air conditioning. Do yourself a favour and spend another $25 to stay somewhere you can actually relax.

The flashing red light advertised $149 but I paid $129 and that included breakfast. You are flat out getting anything else cheaper within 10 min walking distance to the domestic terminal. It is what it is. The rooms are very small with a tiny bathroom. After reading some pretty terrible reviews juxtapositioned with a few good ones I decided to give it a go. It was going to be cheaper than a taxi to the airport. Firstly, I took the towels out of the bathroom and hung them up in the room. There is no wardrobe just hanging space. The towels are OK for one shower. There is water everywhere after a shower. The TV is big and if you like laying in bed and watching it then you will be in heaven. The bed is reasonable. The view out the window is another building. It is amazingly quiet. The odd banging door and loud conversations in the corridor are about it. Breakfast was a pleasant surprise with a barista, cheese, ham & eggs. Easy walk to the airport so all good

Budget! Seriously! The room was so small. The bathroom was smaller. The sink was in the shower. Had to get new cups as all the cups in the room were dirty. Hot water was intermittent. The good points: Bed was clean and comfortable Soup smelled nice Close to airport It was last minute and we got the last family room. Slept four. Very small. $239

Aircon didn't work. No hairdryer. TV remote batteries flat. No extra pillows. No advice re shuttle service and when our taxi came and asked for us at the front desk they didn't even ask it to wait (we were in the lift). You get what you pay for...
