Terminal 1
Novotel Sydney International Airport
A large hotel under a kilometre from the International terminal, with a paid shuttle and Wolli Creek station a 10 to 15 minute walk away. Formerly the Mercure Sydney International Airport.
Suits: International travellers who want a bigger hotel close to T1, with the train close by.
Why choose it: One guide puts it under 1 km from the International terminal, with about 271 soundproofed rooms and a 10 to 15 minute walk to Wolli Creek station (sources differ).
The compromise: The shuttle is paid, and sources disagree on the price ($10 to $12) and the first departure (04:30 or 05:00). The same guide notes some guests complain of traffic noise.
Rates: Check Booking.com or book direct for the best prices.
