Paradox Sydney

8/10 Good

"Comfortable bed and excellent bathroom but poor TV channel options and cleaning patchy. Super helpful staff so overall would recommend"

Rydges Sydney Airport Hotel

8/10 Good

"We stayed here for convenience as we had a long haul flight the following morning and we were transiting. The room itself was fine and quiet but the bathroom amenity bottles needed to be checked when filled as they would not pump. There were also dirty marks on the toilet/bathroom door suggesting the door had not been wiped hygienically. The hotel is a very easy walk to the terminal and this is the main reason we stayed here. The person we ended up checking in with was helpful, but the first person wasn’t. The second one took over and was efficient and pleasant. The bar staff need a boot up the backside. They need to pay attention to who is waiting for service and not just serve the loud and raucous people who push in without manners."

Shangri-La Sydney

6/10 Okay

"It was a good stay on check in they said the room wasn't ready which was fine they said half hr to an hr so headed of for lunch within 5 minutes of leaving they text us room was ready also they took a holding deposit of $435 on check in which is pretty standard & was told it would be automatically credited back on check out we checked out on the Friday I checked the account that afternoon not there I waited till Monday afternoon before ringing to find out more seeing still no refund they said I would receive a call & an email asap to explain what had happened but received neither later that night deposit was returned all I'd suggest is check ur account balance to make sure you get your money back probably an oversite but I wonder how many times this happens without people checking & just loose their deposit."
