What guests think

ibis Sydney Airport draws travellers for its convenient location near the terminals and Mascot Station, offering simple rooms for short stopovers, but reviews repeatedly note dated interiors, stained carpets, and inconsistent upkeep across rooms and common areas.

Staff are often praised as friendly and helpful, though some guests experienced slow check-in, understaffing, and occasional rudeness. Rooms are compact and basic; beds can be comfortable, but noise from corridors, traffic or planes and patchy Wi-Fi are recurring issues. On-site dining and the shuttle are convenient, yet breakfast quality and menu variety draw mixed feedback, and maintenance issues appear in multiple reviews. Expect a budget, no-frills airport stop with trade-offs in condition and noise.

We only stayed for 1 night. Its easy if you have an early morning flight. They have a shuttle bus which is easy for getting to the airport

Nice option for close to the airport - just a note for us that drive proper vehicles, the car park has a 1.9m max height, couldn’t find that documented anywhere

Staff was excellent as always! Location is great! I’ve stayed here many , many times now. The laundry room didn’t work very well and needs upgrading. 2 washing machines/2 dryers. The first washing machine took my money but did not work. Maintenance staff retrieved my money and got the other machine to work. But after a wash there was still something all over my load of clothes. Not sure if it was soap or lint? So I paid for a second wash, plus extra for an extra rinse. Same result. Still something all over my load of clothes. So $6 + $7 for a total of $13AUD but still needed to be washed again. I hung them dry and packed them when I left to rewash somewhere else.

Room just too noisy, other motel usrs, traffic from the road below just ruined my plans. Needed a good night sleep before an early flight and ended up with a sleepless night. Great proximty to airport, with a great restaurant and bar and reception staff were helpful and obliging but the noise just ruined it all.

The check in took about 30 minutes at 9:30pm. While this was a very affordable option for staying near the airport, it did not feel clean. The carpet in the room was very stained and didn't seem like it had even been vacuumed (i.e. lots of hair on the carpet). The bed felt clean but that was about it. Besides the occasional plane, it was a quiet area and very easy to access the airport by public bus.

Shabby hotel. Corridor and room carpets look like the haven’t been cleaned since the seventies covered in stains and spillage of various origins.Only one lift functioning. Double bed with only one side table. Bathroom fittings cracke and aged. Thin walls and no access to fresh air .Check in was very good and dining ok but $64 for breakfast was excessive. Staff friendly and helpful. Sadly a shabby ending to a month long holiday of excellent accommodation. Would not stay at Ibis again

The property is in a fantastic location close to airport and train station. Having the restaurant on site is so convenient. My only complaint is the filthy carpet in the room and corridor bleach stains etc. the rest of the room acceptable cleanliness.

Awful - a grubby hotel, everything tacky. Out the front are smokers and others assembled to make even the entry more like the exterior of a central train station than a hotel. The room was tiny, decor dated, and worst of all it felt dirty. I woke up with what might be spider bites. Hopefully not bed bugs. Whatever it was it was uncomfortable. If the price tag was $100 per night I would say not great but given I paid over $300 for that room it is appalling.

Property was easy to find and close to the airport. Rooms are small but adequate for a quick flight turnaround. Our only issue was the carpet was saturated in out room and smelly because of this but with a late arrival and very early departure we just wanted to sleep.

The hotel is in a good location, with convenient street parking and a nearby car park, which made access easy. However, the overall condition of the hotel was disappointing. The carpet was not very clean, and the property appears quite worn and in need of a full upgrade and refurbishment. The facilities and interiors do not match expectations. While the location is a positive point, significant improvements in cleanliness and maintenance are needed to provide a comfortable stay.

I have stayed at several Ibis hotels across the globe and know what to expect. However, compared to the other Ibis hotels, this one is really a disappointment The room is very small. The bathroom/WC is almost the size of airplane toilets. The furniture in the room is very bare bones, cheap and poor quality. The bed was too creaky.....sorry but this hotel really is not worth staying at

I liked the fact that the staff that were at reception did the best they could under very difficult circumstances. There seemed to be many duties that were attended to, but which took longer than was acceptable from a customer's point of view, due to there only being 1 staff member at even the busiest of times. Not a great experience for your guests, I feel.

We stayed over-night Sep16-17 and had completely negative experience. Stay away, if you can. It seems that the staff at the property is very poorly trained. When we arrived, we had to stay in line for 20 minutes to be checked-in because 2 of the receptionist could not seem to do their job, so the other 2 had to assist instead of helping a line of waiting people. Our reserved room was missing all towels, so we had to go back to get them. The restaurant had dirty tables and the staff was not cleaning them, so the customers had to wipe them down - that was very bizarre. And to top it off - at about 11pm, someone entered our room and when we yelled out - they said sorry that they had the wrong room.. but somehow their key opened our room - totally crazy. Finally our taxi which we reserved at front desk did not arrive on time, perhaps it was not reserved by the staff.. we so we took shuttle instead, because we had to catch our plane. Overall very unpleasant and stressful experience

I have stayed here probably roughly a dozen times give or take. Staff is very professional & helpful! One of the management(Lynnette) remembered me from past stays. She went above & beyond to help me print some travel documents I needed as well as looked up information for local shopping needs I had. Last night apon check-in there was a young Asian women( that claimed she was a international student) yelling and screaming at staff. She Threw a large glass plant bowl that also contained rocks & marbles, across the Check in desk at one of the clerks and shattered it all over the area. She continued to threaten 2 staff members as well as making approximently 8-10 guests trying to check in, very uncomfortable. The Staff kept their composure while they continued to assist the guests. The police were eventually called and the women was removed. I was very impressed how professional the staff was thought the incident.

Very close to the airport, so very convenient. Staff are few and busy. Lack of attention to detail and any kind of customer experience. Room condition is tired - needs a refresh. Just felt that it was poor value for the price. Overall, it worked for what I needed, but I won't be in a rush to re-book.

The property was a five minutes walk from Mascot train station and would have been easy to take train to International terminal but took advantage of bus transfer provided by the hotel. Was convenient for going into Sydney for an afternoon to eat out but there were eateries available also around Mascot station and one at the hotel. All very convenient.

The location was great. We had two rooms. They were comfortable. The light in Room 139 kept flickering and we had to turn it off though. The hotel was great. However the restaurant downstairs was terrible. People had to wait for a very long time, in a queue simply to get a drink. In the end we chose to go elsewhere (to the Travelodge) for dinner and drinks. The wait was ridiculous, particularly when travellers can be tired, getting ready for flights, etc.
