Ace Hotel Sydney
Friendly staff at check-in - I was able to drop my heavy backpack hours before checkin began. Clean and beautiful room that still looks new. Great location close to train stations, Aldi and many food options. Only negative was that one of the bar staff was unfriendly and borderline rude. A comment ...

Great location for a stay after a long flight, could just walk across the crosswalk from the terminal and there it was. Well insulated and did not hear any planes at all.
