My wife and I chose this motel to stay at after a "google" search. We were in Sydney for some conferences and needed a place to stay for five nights. Marco Polo Motor Inn looked to fit the bill and so we booked. Right from the start the lady at the reception was very pleasant and helpful. Our room was... More

I've stayed in various hotels all over Sydney, and this is one of the best places for the price range. Sydney hotels/motels are expensive, and our rate for a queen room was very good. Room is basic but clean. Bed is on wheels and rolls around easily, but that is a really minor thing. Receptionist was very friendly. No complaints... More

A good three star hotel with excellent service. Free parking is provided which is rare close to Sydney city center. The motel about 20 minutes by bus from the central station during night time. It is 500m from Summer Hill train station. Be ware that not all trains stop at this station, but we found the frequency (Approx once in... More

Have stayed at Marco Polo several times over 5 or 6 years, this time had 2 rooms for large family group. The service and quality are consistent and good value. Rooms are quite spacious, and comfortable, ideal place to leave the car and catch the city bus across the road. I'll go back there next time I'm in Sydney.

Sydney, Australia's most populated city, the largest of all, the one I couldn't wait to visit. We finally found the motel which we booked due on recommendation. The rooms were a pain to get to, they were upstairs, but it was quite worth it. The price was affordable and the rooms quite small, but most of our stay at Sydney... More

Last year, in December, me and my friend went to Sydney for the first time. The experience was amazing and Marco Polo offers a budget priced option. With full support 24/7, the rooms were clean and tidy, provide enough facilities which i believe can not get anywhere at that reasonable price. The hotel is near used public transport, which is...

Traveling with three kids we just needed a cheap base close to Sydney CBD to explore the city the next day. We found Marco Polo on booking.com and paid $142 for a room that more or less fitted the five of us. This review would have been a lot more positive (i.e. mentioning the friendly staff) had I not woken... More

stayed from the 26th nov to the 3rd Dec. when we finally arrived in our humongous Kluger (I think by toyota) I pulled into reception park in front of the security gate.. OK, so I had read the previous reviews prior to booking and looked at the candid photos, looks a bit scary.. Sharon is the owner, is kind, caring,... More

As this is a budget priced option, I didn't have high expectations. Street appeal is poor, not helped by the "drive through" window at the entrance and the massive sliding gate to the car park. The reception area was open so it it wasn't necessary to use the drive through, and staff were very warm and welcoming. Beyond the previously... More

Pulled up to the Marco Polo thinking, what have we done. The bars on reception also didn't give me confidence but once inside the gates the rooms are quiet, clean and comfortable and have everything you need to stay the night. One of the cheapest places I found to stay in Sydney with free parking and free internet which was... More
