Days Inn by Wyndham Victoria Airport Sidney

Days Inn by Wyndham Victoria Airport Sidney

10/10 Excellent
"Our stay here was great. I took a bus from the Ferry terminal and got dropped about 12ish min walk from the hotel. Easily walked down even late at night. The location is very good in terms of food and other stores (like dollar store, pharmacy etc.) nearby. All within a 5 min or less walk. You can also easily walk down to the touristy spots. Our room was clean and since it was on the ground floor, it opened up to the courtyard with the pool. That really added to our experience - it was a great view and very nice to be able to sit outside in an enclosed green space whenever we wanted. I would definitely stay here again if we come back."

"Bit of a confusing arrival woith no obvious entry to the check in, it's beside the bottle shop by the way. Room was good. Old pub that's been renovated. Best feature was the modern split system aircon which was whisper quiet, unlike the older style ones across the US and Canada which are loud and struggle to maintain a comfortable temperature balance."

"We had the most wonderful stay on Galiano at Andrea’s cabin. The location is perfect, easy to find, straight forward check-in and walkable to local cafes and stores, all while having a beautiful view looking over the water for spotting wildlife. It was very peaceful and we didn’t notice any road noise. The beds are lovely and comfortable, and the kitchen was extremely well equipped for cooking up our thanksgiving lunch! We enjoyed spending time on the huge deck looking for otters, seals, eagles, hawks, owls, deer and the sweet little kingfishers. We loved using the fireplace and playing board games in the evenings. The cabin also has lots of cosy lighting, which we always appreciate! And we also loved the brilliant DVD & VHS collection! You can tell a lot of care has been taken to make your stay as comfortable as possible and it felt like a true home away from home. Andrea was a brilliant host with great communication and was really accommodating - thanks Andrea! All in all, we had a brilliant stay and would return in a heartbeat! So many special memories made :-)"
