Tempe Hotel Sydney - Comfortable Stay in Australia

What guests think

At Tempe Hotel Sydney, travelers praise exceptionally friendly staff, recently refurbished, clean rooms, and handy touches like communal coffee; the lively on-site pub and bistro earn strong reviews, and the location is convenient for the airport and public transport.

Common tradeoffs include no elevator, some late-evening noise from the pub or road, soft mattresses for some guests, and limited power outlets or missing bedside lamps and mirrors in a few rooms. A few guests noticed smoke odours near the gaming area, and there is one report of bed bugs. Overall, expect a clean, good-value, pub-style stay suited to short stops near the airport.

We had a two night stay here on a weekend trip to Sydney. We found the staff and service was friendly and helpful, rooms were clean, beds comfortable and despite being located above the beer garden and on a main road, the rooms were exceptionally quiet. The adjoining Queen rooms were a perfect option for us - with a passage door in between. Access to venue and rooms was via pin codes which made it super easy - no need to worry about keys. The food was great - a few vegetarian options which I appreciated. There's not a lot of alternative dining options in the immediate area - but a coffee shop located 100m up the road (didn't try this). Location was close enough to walk to Marrickville (25min) and a pretty cheap Uber fare to airport. Would happily stay here again :)

The pub was brightly lit and looked very inviting inside. Our room was sparkling clean and quiet. The bathroom was a shared one with a private room in there as well and was very clean and inviting which is pretty rare in shared stuff. There is n lift to the accommodation but the staff are always offering to carry your luggage up or down the staircase. If im flying anywhere from Sydney or flying in I'll be staying there as its nearby to the airport. I think you can even park out the back as there were cars there in the early morning.

The property itself was good and served the purpose for my trip. The biggest downside is that the management (illegally) allow people to smoke inside the gaming room (we witnessed this personally), which means that even in the year 2025 - more than 20 years since smoking indoors was made illegal in Australia - the entire hotel stinks of smoke. Even upstairs in our room we could smell it. Definitely not something you expect anymore. Incredibly disappointing.

The room was spacious and very clean and comfortable. Although the bathroom was a shared one it was spotlessly clean and easy to use with plenty of soap etc. The room was quiet as well.

The hotel was fantastic! You can tell they really put in a lot of work to make the hotel presentable, up to date, and clean but also keep that historic charm. The rooms are on the second floor, above the bar scene, so you can hear the music and people socializing downstairs but it wasn’t loud enough that we didn’t sleep. We appreciated that there was an extra door with a security code so the public couldn’t get to the second floor unless they were renting a room. We would definitely stay here again.

We were welcomed and upgraded on arrival by a friendly member of staff, which we really appreciated after a long flight. The room, however, was extremely loud until 2:30am, meaning we had little to no sleep. We also weren't very keen on the area, and wouldn't recommend here for anything longer than a quick overnight stop. The room was nice, however: clean and cosy.

Bloody cracker of a place, that surprised me in presentation, affable and professional staff and close enough to the airport to be just a short taxi ride the next morning. I didnt mind the walk from the train station with our bags, but it could be a bit much for some, being uphill for a few blocks. But hey, on holidays you walk, so i was fine with it.
