While this hotel is cheaper than others around Sydney Airport, it had the feel of a prison cell. A double bed and bunk bed plus a small table with chair were the only furnishings of note, with the television being screwed to the wall overhead. The prison-like atmosphere was further 'enhanced' by a double storey bulk bed at right angles... more

Pretty basic but what you'd expect from Formule 1! Clean and close to airport with free shuttle - but call in advance (once in arrivals) as it's not a continuous service, but for notified arrivals as we found out after getting the airport terminal transfer bus and a long walk (it's near terminal 2, not the international terminal)! Arrived at... more

Obviously you would only stay here if you were waiting for a connecting flight but this "hotel" is rancid. We has a twin share room which was the size of a prison cell, the top bunk mattress didn't cover the length of the bed (about 2 foot short) and had small black curly hairs on the sheets (Wonder what they... more

Imagine a tiny jail cell. That's it. No tv, no clock, no room for luggage, no nothing but a tiny lumpy bed that listed to the left - a hard left. The bathroom consists of toilet, sink and a shower - with no deliniation. Just a curtain and a drain in the floor. The best part of the stay was... more

booked on their web site, for $99 per night. Heading overseas, and spent the night in Sydney in transit. I have previously stayed at the Ibis in Mascot, which is a little more expensive. As per other reviews, the rooms are tiny. There are no cups or coffee facilities in the room, and no telephone. You can't open the window.... more

Pros: Inexpensive, new, comfortable, euro-style hotel. Cons: Bare bones, no frills. No WiFi. No phone in room. No hair dryer. You can walk there from the DOMESTIC teminal in 10 mins, it is next to DHL. They also have a shuttle (at least during the day) to domestic and international terminals, $5. Parking out front of hotel. Rooms have TV... more

I have stayed at this hotel many, many times both alone and with my family. The location is first class, the staff are great, the basic facilities you get are all you need. There are restaurants in the local area who will deliver. The shuttle bus to both the domestic and international terminals goes every half hour in the mornings... more

Hotel Formule1 is convenient to the Sydney airport, however from the International airport it is either a 40 plus minute walk down busy motorways or a $5. per person shuttle to the Domestic airport. From the domestic airport the hotel is an additional 10 minute walk along side a busy motorway in the blazing sun. The hotel is placed ideally... more

We stayed at this hotel for one night so we could get in and out of airport quickly. We walked there with our cases (and kids). It is really close to the airport. The room was small but perfect for what we required which was just a place to sleep and a warm shower. The room was very clean. It... more

We stayed here two nights at New Years when the whole city centre was booked up. They had a basic room with queen bed, desk, tv, and ensuite for a really good price and the room was clean and comfortable. The staff was courteous and extremely organized for New Years Eve with a shuttle running to and from the city... more
