Terminals 2 and 3
Holiday Inn Express Sydney Airport
A budget-friendly IHG hotel at 2-12 Sarah Street, Mascot, with 247 rooms and a paid shuttle to the airport.
Suits: Travellers who want a reliable brand and a lower price, and do not mind a shuttle or train to the terminal.
Why choose it: It has 247 rooms over nine floors. Listings put Mascot station an 11-minute walk away and Domestic Airport station about 15 minutes.
The compromise: The airport shuttle is available on request and carries a surcharge. A July 2026 forum report quotes about $12 a person each way, 05:00 to 23:00, booked through the hotel. Confirm the price and booking process.
Rates: Check Booking.com or book direct for the best prices.
