Very good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Staff were great, but first room we were assigned was so strong with bleach smell from cleanin it irritated our eyes and breathing. Staff were friendly and happy to move us to another room that was clean but did not smell.
Overall, I would definitely stay again
A good location a little outside of the main CBD of Sydney, but lots to offer in the area itself. Staff were very friendly and welcoming, so thank you!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
This was a great stay. The staff were so friendly and helpful when we needed anything. The room was nice and clean. Easy location to get to. The hotel just looked like it needed a slight uplift in terms of decor etc but didn’t affect our stay and would really recommend!
I spent 3 weeks in Sydney in different hotels. This one was the cheapest but also one of the most pleasant. Staff was helpful. Lots of good restaurants in Darlinghurst. About 20 minute walk to Hyde Park. Another 15 to the opera house. Look, its budget but I think they make up for it.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
Good price for the area. Bed was comfortable. Main letdown was no hot water for both days which I’ve never had before at any accomodation. Let reception know both days but nothing happened and didn’t seem to care. My room was very dirty, every wall had marks and food stains and felt you needed to wear thongs in the shower. Really just needed a thorough clean not just the toilet and make the bed. If those couple of things were rectified it would have been great
Excellent location! A few minutes walk from the hotel to the most iconic places in Sydney! Amazing! Really nice staff, safe specially for solo travellers! Clean! I had a great experience! Definitely recommend staying in this Ibis hotel! Affordable nice place to stay in a so expensive city! The only downside for me was how noisy the cleaning staff are! Really annoying waking up 7:00 am with them making loud noises all the time
The hotel was okay - basic but that's all we wanted. I was a little worried about the cleanliness after reading the reviews but I was pleasantly surprised. There are a lot of restaurants and places offering breakfast along nearby Victoria street. It is within walking distance from the Sydney harbor.
