Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is in a convenient location with great views of the Ferris wheel and fireworks from the room, but some aspects leave much to be desired. The rooms need updating and are on the smaller side despite daily servicing, which may not align with the price paid for each night. The service is quite helpful with friendly morning staff, though some experiences like the kids amusingly mishandling the pancake machine might need attention. The dining, while offering beautiful options, falls short with limited hot choices on weekends. The facilities are above average, offering budget-friendly choices, but there are some disappointments in the quality of food and the lack of variety in dining options.
Although the rooms were small and cramped for space and need renovating, the view of the harbor is nice enough. The service was welcoming and extremely helpful, although a harbor view came with an extra charge. The location was convenient for transportation and close to Darling Harbour, with some nice food options. The dining experience was a mix of overpriced and disappointing dishes with a nice view from the terrace. Overall, a decent stay with some limitations.
I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The rooms were fantastic with a great view and incredibly comfortable beds. The service was top-notch, with staff always being accommodating and friendly. The location was excellent, close to everything I wanted to see in Sydney. The dining options were varied and tasty, and the facilities were well-maintained.
The hotel offered a mix of positive and negative aspects. The rooms, although in need of updating, provided essential amenities and a comfortable bed. The service was helpful and attentive. The location was convenient, close to key attractions. The dining experience was satisfying, with affordable options. However, the hotel lacked modern facilities.
The hotel offers a wonderful view of the Harbour and rooms with shower and bath, although they are small and come with outdated bathrooms. The lack of a mini bar and tiny bathroom that doesn't dry easily after a shower were downsides. The service was friendly and considerate, but some TLC is needed. The location requires attention but is handy to entertainment spots. The dining experience was good with delicious options, except for the world-famous seasoned fries.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the rooms were small but comfortable, the price seemed a bit high for the size offered. The service, on the other hand, was truly exceptional with helpful staff throughout our stay. Overall, a decent stay with some highlights and drawbacks.
The hotel is conveniently located at Darling Harbour, allowing easy access to various attractions. The rooms, although small and basic as typical of most IBIS hotels, offer a clean and comfortable stay. The service at the check-in counter was friendly but could have been more efficient and knowledgeable. The dining experience provided good value for money, yet seating may be limited. The location's proximity to Darling Harbour is a standout feature but lacks parking facilities. Overall, a budget-friendly choice with a top-notch location.
The hotel offers a fantastic view of Darling Harbour, but lacks a minibar in the room. The rooms are small but cozy, and the location is excellent for exploring the city and enjoying the harbor. The dining experience falls short in terms of temperature and quality of food.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was fantastic, very close to the star and perfect for experiencing the city in a great central loacation. The rooms, however, needed urgent renovation and were not up to standard, with poor sound insulation and luke-warm, poor-quality food. The service was a mixed bag, with some staff being pleasant while others were pretty rude. Dining was reasonably priced and tasty, especially Cedrick's creations with special dietary considerations. Overall, there were notable issues but also some positives to highlight here.
The hotel offers basic but comfortable, clean, and quiet rooms. Opting for a harbor view room adds a lovely touch to your stay, though slightly small. The staff are friendly and attentive, going above and beyond to make special occasions memorable. The central location allows easy access to popular attractions, but the path to Darling Harbour may not be visually appealing.
The hotel had a great location for my function at the ICC, making it convenient for exploring Darling Harbour and other Sydney areas. The rooms were a bit on the small side once we both had our large suitcases in, and the early morning presence of cigarette smoke near my room was a downside. The service was fantastic, with the staff willing to go above and beyond for guests, although some hospitality lessons could be beneficial. The dining experience had good options but lacked variety and healthy choices on some days. Enjoyed the stay overall with friendly and helpful reception staff.
The hotel's location is superb for Darling Harbour and its eateries, with a friendly service. However, the rooms could do with an update and are very small with old furniture. The dining experience is ordinary during the week, and the facilities are somewhat okay.
The hotel had small and uncomfortable rooms with noise from next door. The service, including car hire and friendly staff, was good. The location was great for exploring the city but noisy with public transport nearby. The dining experience was disappointing with cold food, and the facilities were average.
The hotel offers a comfortable stay, although the room overlooked Darling Harbour without a view as expected from the tariff. The service was exceptional with helpful and efficient staff.
