Not so much the darling

Ibis Darling Harbour was just ok. Was quite affordable considering the area. However the entire area is being rebuilt so expect noise beautiful harbour views is abruptly interrupted with construction. Turn right from the hotel for the light rail to central (3-5 minutes) or continue to the very well connected ferry stop (5-10 minutes).

Great location in Darling Harbour

Great hotel overlooking Darling Harbour. Some building work going on at the harbour which in time may affect the views slightly but still great location. Bed was very comfortable & staff very helpful. Good selection of food at breakfast. Would definitely go there again.

Room at Ibis Darling Harbour was tiny but great view of the harbour. No gym or swimming pool but we were allowed to use the gym & pool at the hotel next door. Breakfast buffet was excellent. Staffs are very friendly.
