The property is somewhat dated. Our room had a glass bathroom. That is, walls and door were frosted glass. Not quite our cup of tea. Some staff were excellent. Overall, rather average. Likely reflecting appropriate value for a bargain basement price.

Nice place close to the airport. Don’t take a taxi from the airport - it is a 4 minute ride and they charged us $75 Australian dollars. Zero stars for Sydney’s taxi service.

15 minute walk to the metro and an easy comute to the CBD. Convenient to the airport. No eggs on the breakfast buffet. The bed is not as comfortable as expected at a Holiday Inn Express.

Great Place to Stay!

The Holiday Inn Express was clean and the staff were helpful. We enjoyed the free breakfast onsite. The staff even packed a breakfast box for us when we had to fly out the next day in the early morning hours - this was most appreciated! It is a convenient place to stay near the Sydney Airport.

Check in was a bit confusing as you came in at the street level and had to go up to the next floor for the service desk. We got our keys, went to the room and it was adequate. The blackout drapes were amazing for weary travelers and even though we were near the airport, we heard nothing. Breakfast daily was good, the morning staff in the dining area were so sweet and cheerful, it started each day off with a great feeling! We weren’t far from all that we wanted to see, an Uber ride generally under 20-30 minutes. Meals close by were not readily available so Uber Eats it was. This hotel seemed better suited for business travelers than true visitors but the bed was comfortable and the room was cleaned daily.

The facilities and location were good. I had one problem where my room was not serviced even though I put the sign up accordingly when I went out for 5 hours. As a result, I realised later, that they never replaced the toilet paper which made things somewhat uncomfortable as I was traveling early the next day.
