“Citadines Connect is all about ease; its proximity to Sydney's Domestic Airport is a genuine advantage for those quick stopovers. I appreciate the rooftop bar with its unexpected runway views-a nice touch. While some opinions on service vary, the overall design feels modern and caters well to short stays.”

comfy beds nice shower spacious room unhelpful staff rude staff

The beds felt so comfortable and nice shower feels so refreshing. My room seems spacious, yes. I found the location quiet despite the closeness to the airport, that really adds to the charm.

I found the staff not helpful enough, so sad. I felt the staff was rude to me and treated me with disdain. A terrible experience.

cramped room limited cupboard

My room felt really cramped, i wasn't expecting that. the shower sprayed water everywhere in the bathroom. It was a hazard. there wasn't much room for my stuff either. the cupboard space was practically non-existent, and i struggled to keep my things organized. i was quite frustrated by these issues!

airport convenience at its best!

clean room modern design

the room was very clean and modern! it had all the facilities a traveller on a quick airport turnaround could need. the sound proofing was good.

the reception computer was at head level! it blocked the view of customers waiting in-line needlessly.

decent hotel near the airport

clean room comfy room food marks unclean bathroom

I had a really short overnight stay before my early flight! it met all my needs. it was clean and comfy. Extra pillows would have been nice. the next morning it was convenient and stress-free for me to get to the airport at 4am!

i booked a simple room for my brief overnight stay! i was disappointed that the room wasn't cleaned that well. there were marks from food on the desk in the bedroom and the bathroom wasn't wiped that well either.
