Pros:

Fomos a pé do aeroporto para o hotel a partir do terminal 2 (voos domésticos) - é uma caminhada super fácil (cerca de 10 min a andar). O check in e check out foram super rápidos e o quarto era muito confortável.

Poor
Pros:

Close to the airport

Cons:

Unit was grubby, not particularly clean. Had to go hunting for a kettle. Sheets on the bed were very damp,and should have spent quite a bit more time in the dryer. Very unpleasant nights sleep.

Clean, Quiet, Convenient Budget Option
Pros:

My second stay and it met my needs for 2 nights. Its location is an easy walk to Mascot Station, shops and restaurants in Mascot, and the domestic terminal. $12 for the shuttle to international terminal, it runs every 20 min and is a huge, comfy bus with room for luggage.

The only reason I booked, close to the train station, I would not stay again unfortunately
Pros:

It was close to the train station, ish

Cons:

As it’s cheap it’s been run down, walls smashed and chipped, so much dust, windows are dirty, floor/carpet is questionable. We booked for 7 nights, we didn't have our room cleaned once, I asked on the 3rd, 4th and 5th day, nothing, I then went down to complain and was moved rooms, at 10:00pm, on the 6th night

Very primitive, very noisy (from plane engines at airport as well as traffic around the place), dirty filthy carpets in
Pros:

The only thing good about this place is the staff!

Cons:

Everything, needs complete overhaul, in particular double glasing to reduce noise from traffic as well as planes engines….
