Travelodge Hotel Sydney Airport
Travelodge Hotel Sydney Airport is the mid-price Mascot hotel that solved the transfer problem: it runs its guests to the terminals for nothing. Its 209 simple rooms are 900 metres from the domestic terminals, and the hotel-to-airport shuttle leaves the car park about every 15 minutes from 4:30 am to 11:30 pm at no charge, with T’s Bistro and Bar, an outdoor courtyard and Mascot station nine minutes on foot. It is the hotel for an early domestic departure on a budget, a family in interconnecting rooms, or a park-and-fly week.
Guest Rooms
The 209 rooms are all 18 square metres and differ only in bed layout: Guest Room King, Queen, Twin and Triple, the last with three single beds. Each has air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, a flat-screen TV, tea and coffee making, a walk-in shower with toiletries, a hairdryer and an iron and board, and rooms are serviced daily. Interconnecting rooms are available for families. There are no suites or club floors; the point is a clean bed close to the terminal at a fair price.
Breakfast and Dining
T’s Bistro on the ground floor serves the buffet breakfast from 6 to 9:30 am, early enough for most morning flights, and dinner from 5:30 to 9:30 pm with steak, schnitzel, Thai fish cakes and spring rolls on the menu. T’s Bar opens from 5 to 10 pm with beer, cider, wine by the glass and cocktails, and both open onto the communal spaces and the outdoor courtyard. Room service is available in the evening, and Mascot’s cafes and supermarkets are a short walk along King Street.
Facilities and Services
The hotel keeps to the essentials: a 24-hour reception, luggage storage for guests who want to spend the day in the city, guest laundry, free Wi-Fi, the courtyard and lounge spaces, and the Wilson car park with covered parking at about AUD 20 per 24 hours. There is no gym, pool or restaurant beyond the bistro. Pets are not allowed.
Location and Transportation
The hotel is on King Street in Mascot, 900 metres from the domestic terminals. The free hotel-to-airport shuttle, operated by Space Shuttle, leaves the car park about every 15 minutes from 4:30 am to 11:30 pm and calls at both terminals; coming from the airport, the same company picks up at Bay 4 outside T2 and Bay 20 at T1 for a fare of around AUD 10 per person, more between 11:30 pm and 4:30 am, paid to the driver. Mascot station is nine minutes’ walk: one stop to Domestic Airport, two to International, 10 minutes to Central and 20 to Circular Quay. A taxi to T2 or T3 takes two to three minutes. Every hotel’s transfer is compared in the hotel transfers guide, and the train’s station fee is explained in the airport to city guide.
Nearby Alternatives
For a cheaper room still, the ibis budget is nearby with family rooms and a paid shuttle. For more comfort in the same district, the Pullman and the Stamford Plaza are the full-service options, and the Citadines Connect has a rooftop-view bar and a 24-hour food shop. For an international flight, the Rydges is across the road from Terminal 1.
Frequently Asked Questions
