"The location is great. The host was great with communication. We are a family of four and enjoyed the layout and location. I would stay again. The only strange thing was that the stairwell had a musty smell but it didn’t smell in any of the areas that you’d spend time in such as the bedrooms or kitchen."

Rydges Sydney Airport Hotel

Rydges Sydney Airport Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel was located right next to the terminal & the rental car return station. So this made it easier for us as we did not have to walk too far after returning the car after a long day from driving. The room was big and spacious and quiet despite being next to the car park and the terminal. Bed and pillows were comfortable and we had a goid night’s rest."

What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
These are quite similar. "Historic hotel" is more commonly used in the U.S., while you'll often hear "heritage hotel" in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to focus on the building and architecture itself. Mainly heritage hotels draw meaning from the place's cultural value and how it shaped the community.

Yes. Every effort is made to preserve historic facades and treasured traditions, but hotel interiors are fitted with modern conveniences and safety features.
