Stamford Plaza Sydney Airport Hotel & Conference Centre

The rooms themselves might not quite reach five-star level, but the hotel absolutely won us over with its excellent gym and outstanding breakfast buffet. The gym is well-equipped with everything you need for a proper workout while traveling. And the breakfast – a real highlight – features a fresh juice station with a proper juicer, which was a game-changer for us. Starting the day with fresh-pressed juice made all the difference and was the deciding factor for giving this place five stars. Highly recommended for anyone who values great fitness facilities and a fresh Smoothie to start the day.

Nice, modern reception area although some smiling from the staff wouldn't go amiss. Room was very comfortable but tired and could do with a spruce up, nothing wrong with it as such but you can tell the rooms are a bit old and need a freshen up. Bed very comfortable with good pillow selection. Room was quite dark with only one window, that said the view of the airport runways from my room on Level 7 was fantastic, great if you're a plane spotter (I'm not really but couldn't help myself). There was a train line (not passenger, seemed like cargo) though beneath my room, not a big deal as there were few trains during my stay but would have appreciated this being mentioned when I checked in.||Happy Hour at the bar in evenings with good selection. Breakfast buffet was sufficient, not the largest selection but enough to choose from with one of those great pancake machines where you press the button and watch the pancakes cook (sometimes I'm a child at heart!). The buffet itself was spread around the restaurant a bit so looked sparse in general (although content was good). Restaurant/bar staff were friendly and helpful and did know how to smile.||For deluxe rooms complimentary bottled water was advertised on the website as being an inclusion. There wasn't any in my room (only the bottles in the mini bar listed at a cost) so the next morning I went down and asked at reception, where I was quite rudely advised water is not complimentary. I did mention it showed on the website that it was, at which point I was grudgingly advised I could have a bottle and could pick it up on my way back from being out. By this point I felt so bad about it I didn't bother, it's only water so I didn't care about that and can buy it myself but don't offer something you don't intend to actually give (or update the website).||There is a good initiative offered of a F&B credit if you choose not to have your room serviced. I chose the non-service option however wasn't given the credit, after emailing the amount was refunded to me but again, if you offer it then make sure it happens.||I wanted to walk to Mascot train station, instead of telling me how to get there (which appeared to be too hard to explain) the receptionist simply suggested I take the bus from across the road. Hmm, okay, but I wanted to walk and ended up finding my own way, wouldn't have been that difficult to explain at all. Took the airport shuttle from airport to hotel which was great option for AUD$12 and quite a frequent timetable, no booking required just go to the shuttle stop.||Overall enjoyed my stay and would probably stay again.

Excellent price for one night Rydges wanted to charge me $499! ||Very clean room, comfortable bed and good view. Room service was quick and efficient. Shuttle bus on time and only $12. ||||Disappointing decor and atmosphere for breakfast, it felt as though I was eating in McDonalds, the different coloured chairs, the garish mural and awfully unattractive tables, black concrete floor and bad lighting was off putting. Years ago it was classy and attractive and an international menu for dinner would be more popular than Argentinian I am sure, I decided not to eat there the evening I stayed. However the room was excellent value and I could have breakfast delivered, maybe next time?

I booked this thinking it would be a convenient and comfortable stop near Sydney Airport, but it was the complete opposite. The front desk staff were abrupt and dismissive from the moment I arrived, making check-in an unpleasant experience. For the sky-high room rate, I expected at least decent service, but that was clearly too much to ask. Despite being called an “airport hotel,” it’s surprisingly far from the terminals, and to make things worse, they charge an outrageous fee for the short transfer. Between the poor manners, the distance, and the excessive prices, I’d strongly recommend looking elsewhere, there are better hotels closer to the airport with far more reasonable rates and friendlier service.

The service was the standout for us. The staff who helped us during check in was very helpful and expedited our room to be ready earlier as she saw that our kids were tired coming from an overnight flight. She is a gem. The room was clean and comfortable for our family. The La Boca $19 express lunch (including steak) was good value and our kids loved the churros. The domestic airport was an easy walk for us, but they do offer paid shuttle service. There isn’t much to do in the area but we are ok with it as we only stayed for a night to shake out the jet lag from our international flight before continuing on to our domestic flight.

Great hotel, very close to the airport. Love the rooms with the airport view, can watch the planes landing all night. The staff are very Pleasant & helpful. We stay here every time we travel and will continue. The rooms are a little outdated but we don’t mind.

What a great place to stay. Large comfortable rooms with great beds. The restaurant is excellent. Customer care is outstanding in every aspect and you are made to feel very special by the wonderful staff across the whole system.

Well priced for its standard. The staff were extremely helpful and professional. I really felt well looked after. Clean room. Delicious dinner ordered as room service. Comfortable bed. We didn't use the pool but it looked beautiful and clean. We used the shuttle service to and from the airport, run by Sydney Super shuttles. It was $12 each way and was really convenient.
