8.4 out of 10, Very good, (15)
"The hostel is cosy and social. It’s not a party hostel, but people do socialise in the kitchen. The beds are the drawback here - they are rickety and every time someone moves in their bed, you can hear the springs. Also my bed moved every time the guy in the top bunk rolled around. I’m 193cm and couldn’t stretch out in the bed. Difficult to sleep. If you value your sleep, find another place. "

Rydges Sydney Airport Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Great location to take an early international flight. Literally cross the street at the front of the hotel to get to the ticket counters. Not much around the hotel for activities or dining. Restaurants at the hotel were adequate. "
