Hotels near Sydney airport

Pros: We booked online, was our first time staying in a bed and breakfast. Couldn't have asked for a friendlier beautiful place to stay. With places to eat with close by made a perfect place for a travellers night stay.

Pros: Dove House Bed and Breakfast Harbourside is a beautiful, cosy and welcoming place to stay in. The owners were so nice to us, very thoughtful and helpful. They helped making our trip an amazing experience. It is right in front of the water so in the morning we could appreciate the beautiful sunrise while having breakfast. It is close to Cape Breton's attractions, so it was easy to drive there, spend the day in the nature and come back to our room at night for a good sleep. We really loved our stay and hope to come back soon! Thanks! Marc & Mélanie

Pros: Hostess Jane was welcoming and helpful. Our room was special, at the top of house with an encompassing water view. The house was fascinating with its collectables and antiques.

Pros: The room, bathroom and common space were very clean, quiet and comfortable. Monica was kind and friendly.

Cons: For breakfast, it would have been nice to have jams, butter, etc, that were a little bit better than small plastic Kraft packages. Perhaps some locally made jam? Higher quality bakery bread would have been nice, as well.

Pros: Loved staying with Monica! She is a pleasure to talk with and wonderful host!

Cons: Warm hospitality, highly recommend

Pros: We had a very comfortable room in a nice suburban house. The bathroom was fine. Monica, our host, was friendly and chatted with us whilst we ate breakfast. Though a bit out of town it was just an easy 15 minute drive into Sydney. All in all a pleasant stay.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Comments related to the visual representation of the property cmes from the fact that the site showed a dark green house and it has been redone in a gray ro white. Our GPS found it for us but it was a surprise when we finally realised it was the place.

Cons: Breakfast was not spectacular which is often the case with B&B's. The host was not really the most friendly lady in the world ... pleasant but not warm.

Pros: Lovely period home. Comfortable and cozy.

Pros: The breakfast was great. Room was very comfortable and large. Little sitting area in room was nice touch. Clean. Convenient for the ferry but not too close. Dining available in walking distance.

Cons: Common area was not inviting and we missed that as we were travelling with friends. No hair dryer. No soap and only 1 shampoo. I am sure I could have asked for these missing items, but we checked in late and I had my own supplies.

Pros: Heather has a natural talent for making guests feel special. Breakfasts were delicious and varied. We always appreciate cleanliness and this B&B was exceptional.

Pros: Our stay coincided with Hurricane Dorian so we lost power soon after we arrived therefore we didn’t get the full benefit of the accommodation. Proprietor was prepared with flashlights for her residents and was able to serve a cold breakfast the following morning as the power never did come back on.

Pros: Nice B&B, comfortable beds, good bathroom. Very friendly and helpful owner. Good breakfast

Cons: Room was a little bit cluttered for the 4 of us as there were three additional chairs in the room which left little room for suitcases. Breakfast portions were tasty but large, I would recommend that the owner asks what people would like so food doesn't get wasted.

Pros: The breakfasts were great! The accommodation was clean and comfortable. We appreciated having our own washroom facilities.

Cons: The only complaint was that the hot water during a shower would cut in and out.

Pros: Breakfast was great

Pros: Hospility

Cons: No

Pros: Clean and nice staff.

Cons: Wash room water smell poor.

Pros: My wife and I are spontaneous travelers. We only use the tourist materials as a general guideline. Mainly we hit the local pub or restaurants and chat up the locals for what to do off the beaten path. I emailed Bernadette, the manager/owner before our trip. Not only did she reply, but she replied with a gold mine of insider info! To top it off, she would text every morning with more stuff to do. She was amazing! We got busy and never really saw her until our last day. I texted her, "we'd like to meet you face to face." So she invited us in for a drink! Staying here was like staying with family. We arrived much later than anticipated, and she had the key in our room, door unlocked and heat going for us when we arrived well after 11pm. We're going back to Cape Breton and wouldn't dream of staying anywhere else! The units are quaint and beautiful, updated with several amenities: fridge, coffee maker, iron, hair dryer, full couch, desk, and ample lighting. The grounds are very charming, a fire pit out back, lake next door and because the units are all ground level, very private and romantic.

Pros: I liked the location. It was minutes away from everything and on the highway. The staff and owners were friendly and accommodating. It was peaceful. Noise level was low which was great.

Cons: The rooms are very dated. The first room they had given us we couldn't stay in as there was a strong odor as soon as I opened the door. It smelled of mold and we did find some in the washroom as well as going up the wall beside one of the beds. I notified them immediately and they offered us another room. This room was much better. No smell, no mold. Nothing offered for being inconvenienced.

Pros: Very comfortable bed, very clean, quite roomy. Had a fridge, microwave, toaster and coffee machine, what more do you need?

Pros: The bed was very comfortable. It was a great value and I would recommend it.

Pros: The location suited our travel plans and it was easy to find.

Cons: Our bed in Unit 7 was very uncomfortable. The mattress sagged into the middle making it hard for my wife and me to lie comfortably while sleeping. I slept maybe 2 hrs all night. The shower didn't work well at all. Barely more than a trickle of water came out. The motel is beside a main Hwy so traffic noise all night. We did expect this though. There is no staff actually in their office most of the time. Really the reviews I saw before booking led me to expect a lot better place than what we experienced.

Pros: Very comfortable room with refrigerator, microwave and coffee maker. Beds were comfy. Location was short drive to NS Ferry. Would definitely recommend this motel to others.

Pros: Liked the idea that it was extremely easy to find and had a local restaurant just across the highway. Room was very clean and great for stop overs. Would definitely stay again especially if taking the NFLD ferry !!!

Cons: Nothing really that I didn’t like. Maybe provide some plastic cutlery and disposable dishes for microwave ?. I’d rather eat at a restaurant while on the road so it did not affect me

Pros: Best hosts you could possibly want. Went out of their way to help us!

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Bed were good pool was nice clean

Pros: Down on the waterfront was fireworks it was beautiful from our room

Pros: The people that worked the front desk. They we're very helpful.

Cons: no

Pros: CLean and central.

Cons: There was only one negative thing. The toaster in the breakfast nook does not toast. The bread comes out just warm. This is my second stay in a month and it has not been fixed. It was turned up as high as it could go and still just warmed the bread.

Cons: The staff was great, the place is clean and the breakfast is good also. My issue is with the noisy room that I got. It was facing the main street, 2nd floor, and you could hear anything that was happening outside. Also the air conditioner was extremely loud on low or auto setting.

Pros: I was here for 2 nights...The first night was disappointing. The toilet would barely flush. The shower curtain was ripped almost all the way across. The bathroom light kept flashing on and off (it was censored but no one was near it when it would flash) I travel a lot and try to bring food from home so that I’m not always eating out. My fridge was broken, staff came up right away and played with it, they offered to put a container of my food in the staff fridge for the night. The next morning the fridge still wasn’t working and the rest of my food had to be thrown out. They offered to switch me rooms for the second night of my stay. I went to breakfast and again was disappointed. There was scrambled eggs but no way to scoop them out of the container they were in...I was going to use a juice cup but didn’t bother. The toaster wasn’t working. I had cold bread and sausages...The sausages were good. The second night in the new room was good, toilet wasn’t working right so I’m guessing it’s a water pressure issue in the whole hotel. The shower head was clogged and sprayed in all directions, no biggie, I like baths anyway....laid down in the tub to relax and the lights went out

Pros: Hotel front desk staff are very nice and helpful.

Cons: Location is right next to highway with lots of traffic noise. This is not a three star hotel. It's old, dark and needs renovation. Breakfast room is tiny. There's only four or five tables so no place to sit down to eat unless you get there very early

Pros: breakfast was great. the room was comfortable.

Cons: everything was fine

Pros: Location

Cons: While I was trying to check in the clerk accepted a call from someone else and dealt with their question while I stood and waited.

Pros: Working class hotel. Nothing to fancy.

Cons: The bed next to window had a bit of Lowe in middle of it.

Pros: Everything was amazing the room Was very clean The inn had an old charm the restaurant was amazing good The staff was very helpful and very friendly and

Pros: We got charged an extra 50 dollars for having to wait for the ferry. Which in this state of emergency is unacceptable.

Cons: That extra charge.

Cons: The pictures on the internet are deceiving. The Inn is a lot older than what it looks like. The room we were in was ok, however could have been cleaner (floor in bathroom had round corners. The cleaners obviously don't clean right into the corners, one of my petpives.

Pros: The deco was really nice in the entrance, Because if Covid 29 was unable to appreciate the food service and other services.

Cons: Two chairs in the room so both of us had a chair to on since we were there for two days.

Cons: I love absolutely everything!!

Pros: availability of items such as snacks

Cons: The tv channels were very limited and you could not purchase a movie while relaxing. Or pay for more cable channels. Also the tub was not the cleanest. And had rust around the drain. Was not acceptably clean unless showering.

Pros: Got charged on my credit card for the price of the hotel plus an additional 100 then had to pay with my debit on checkout not realizing my credit card had already been charged...so now I'm waiting 5-10 days to get $369 back

Cons: Carpets do not look clean, at least need more vacuuming. No glasses in the room. Very loud air/heat system.

Pros: Helpful and attentive staff even assisting w/luggage to upper floor w/no elevator. Large breakfast area w/hot varied selections & dual staffing. Quite the workout facility, pool, plus billiard tables and air hockey.

Cons: Scramble eggs made out of egg beaters... nothing compares to homemade.

Pros: Location was good.

Cons: Little slow at front desk. Stood at the desk a good 10 mins without even a greeting. No big deal if it's busy, but I was only one at the desk.

Pros: Distance to the airport

Cons: Bathroom floor was dirty and had hair in the corners.. tables in the room hs hot been wiped down

Pros: Great, friendly welcome from the host, who provided a Tim Horton voucher for breakfast. If you're looking for a typical motel, (undergoing an upgrade) then you've found it - my room was just as I'd expected: warm, clean, plenty of hot water. Good spot, right on the coast just a few miles from North Sydney from there its 30 minutes to access to the Cabot Trail.

Cons: A coffee maker would have been nice, tho not essential as the breakfast voucher made up for it.

Pros: This is a standard motel

Cons: No breakfast,when I booked, the web told me that this motel would support breakfast,but when I check in , the staff said that no breakfast

Pros: Comfy, clean, great location and reasonably priced :)

Cons: Shower took a few minutes to heat up and the walls were a bit thin, could hear screaming kids in the room next door in the morning.

Pros: The location was good for the places we wanted to go. We booked at the last minute, and given that there was a music event going on all over Nova Scotia and very little else was available, we were lucky to find this motel.

Cons: Breakfast was supposed to be included in the stay, but when we checked in, we were told that there would be no breakfast. We were told that the listing on booking.com needs to be changed, to indicate that no breakfast would be served. The person checking us in refused to lower the price accordingly, but after we argued with him that we weren't getting what we had paid for (our stay had already been charged to my credit card upon booking and prior to our arrival), he finally acquiesced and gave us five Canadian dollars. That's right, five bucks. Total, not each. The next morning, we had to drive 70 km to find a restaurant that served breakfast, and it cost 35 Canadian dollars for the two of us. (In the meantime, booking.com has given me a coupon worth 15 dollars credit toward another stay, to partially make up for this.) Also, the room smelled like smoke. And, although the towels were clean and shampoo and soap were provided, the bottom of the shower curtain was coated with scuzzy, multi-colored mold.

Pros: Nothing,

Cons: They advertised breakfast and when I arrived they said that was for July and August. They did provide me with a discount that allowed me to buy breakfast. The room smelled bad, they didn't change the towels after the first day or make the bed. The toilet seat was broken and the bathroom was full of mold.

Pros: The bed was very comfortable. There was plenty of hot water and heat

Cons: The floors were dirty and the place smelled of cigarettes.

Pros: Close to ferry

Cons: No hot water, bathtub plugged, door didnt shut properly. Comfy beds though

Pros: Room was clean and comfortable. Wifi worked well.

Cons: Exterior grounds (e.g. parking area, area in front of rooms) and breakfast area need a deep cleaning. Breakfast was abominable.

Pros: The bed was comfy.

Cons: The bathroom was in poor condition, shower curtain had mould, bathmat falling apart,shower wall shelves cracked. Lights were strange florescent fixtures. Garbage was piled up beside the garbage can outside our room. The promised included breakfast through booking.com does not happen after September.

Pros: Staff helpful and friendly

Pros: I was clean n quiet, although my only problem, was paying $5.50 for a small can of pop, frm vending machine, that's nuts

Cons: the dining room could have been open longer, but bc its not peak tourist season, most likely, it was closed too early

Pros: I enjoyed the rustic charm of the lounge, slept a log, good bed

Cons: didn't like paying $5.50 for a tiny pop out of the vending machine

Pros: The man working the front desk Saturday night was very friendly and accommodating

Pros: Only thing i cannot complain about was the bed. Bathtub was surrounded by mold. Very noisy in the hallway from other guest having to run from one room to the other.

Cons: Everything

Pros: Absolutely nothing

Cons: The original room we were out in had blinds missing rows, hardened blood on the mall and was missing multiple pieces of hardwood from the floor. After complaining we were reluctantly moved inside to room with overloaded electrical outlets, one towel and no hot water. The Wi-Fi was non existent despite there being a access point on the wall leading me to believe that the bill had not been paid.
