- Why it wins
- It sits inside Terminal 1, a few steps from check-in. In the daytime it sells rooms by the hour, so you can rest for part of a day without booking a night.
- The catch
- Rooms are small, 9 to 11 square metres for a double, and suit one or two people. It is outside the secure area, so on a connection you must clear passport control and customs, and hold a visa for Australia if you need one. Domestic flights need the Terminal Transfer Bus or the train.
