Crowne Plaza Sydney Airport

Suits: Travellers who want a bigger hotel and are happy to take a short shuttle ride.

Why choose it: The hotel's own website puts it about 1.5 km from the domestic terminals, a five-minute drive or a short shuttle ride, and says it runs a shuttle to both domestic and international terminals.

The compromise: It is not walkable. The shuttle's price and hours are not confirmed, so ask when you book.

Rates: Check Booking.com or book direct for the best prices.

Our stay: We have stayed at Crowne Plaza Sydney Airport and think it is a great hotel. It is easy to get into the domestic terminal, with shuttle buses and taxis available. The rooms are nice and spacious, and they have been upgraded in the past few years, so they have a fresh, modern look.

Eating and parking: There are plenty of dining options at the hotel, and car parking is available. If you want something different, it is easy to find a nice restaurant in the nearby Mascot or Alexandria areas.

The notes under "Our stay" are from our own visits. Other details, such as shuttle prices and hours, are not yet verified, so check them with the hotel before you book.
