Rydges Gold Coast Airport

Great room, comfy bed, tea coffee facilities in the room and complimentary bottles of water. Restaurant downstairs had a great atmosphere, food was delicious and our breakfast each morning was great.

Absolutely great staff, very professional and willing to go that extra mile! Well done to the staff. The location was great as we had a great view from our room. It was very quiet and you would never know your next door to the airport! Wonderful Buffet breakfast the choices were excellent and had all you needed, well worth it.

I recently had the chance to stay at Rydges Gold Coast Airport, and I have to say, it absolutely exceeded my expectations for an airport hotel. Location: 10/10 If convenience is a priority, you really can’t beat this place. It’s literally across the road from the domestic terminal—maybe a 60-second walk if you’re strolling. I had an early morning flight and being able to walk out of my room and be at check-in within minutes was a game-changer. Bonus: the beach is just a short 5-minute walk away, which was a great surprise. Room & Comfort: 9/10 The rooms are clean, modern, and surprisingly stylish for an airport hotel. The Gold Coast-inspired decor gives it a bit of personality, and the bed was super comfortable. Mine had a large Smart TV, great water pressure in the shower, and good blackout curtains—perfect for a pre- or post-flight rest. The soundproofing was also impressive; I barely heard any noise from the nearby runways. Amenities: 8/10 There’s a rooftop bar called The Salty Fox that’s worth a visit even if you’re not staying overnight. It has a great vibe, solid cocktails, and killer views over the airport and coastline. There’s also a decent-sized pool and gym, which is more than I expected from an airport hotel. Dining: 7.5/10 The hotel’s restaurant Runway was fine—good variety and decent portions. Nothing overly fancy, but definitely convenient and tasty enough after a long travel day. Service: 9/10 Staff were friendly, efficient, and accommodating. Check-in and check-out were both quick, and I was able to store my bags for a few hours after checking out, which was super helpful. Overall: 9/10 If you’re flying in or out of Gold Coast Airport, staying at Rydges is a no-brainer. It’s more than just a stopover spot—it’s comfortable, clean, and stylish with some nice extras. I’d definitely stay here again, even if I wasn’t flying the next day.

Just across the small road from terminals! Parking on basement was (still) free subject to availability. All Staff & manager from front desk to kitchen are very friendly and courteous. Toilets near lobby are very clean and checked by a cleaner regularly is a big ✅ deal for us.

The room we stayed in was great (412) bed was comfy and the shower worked well. Air con was quiet and quick to cool down the room. The pool was great to relax in. Breakfast was very good, apart from a few cold items ie: scrambled eggs and hash browns.
