What people say

Location is perfect, arrived round 11am and able to check in early, staff very polite/courteous/helpful!! Disagree room to small, large enough to be comfortable and relaxed within. Was worried re previous reviews but believe the negatives arise as people forget the price they have paid to stay. (your not paying for a 5 star hotel, although our experience could be described as 5 star) Excellent hotel, cheap compared to others in Darling Harbour! Buffet breakfast amazing!! Hotel restaurant had in.
all reviews » It's a really good hotel, no real luxury, smallish rooms, but works great! Impressive attention to detail, very ergonomic room design. Higher floors have a great great view of darling harbour mad the bridge, couldn't get enough of it every day! Stayed 6 days. Oh and the breakfast is amazing too. Very fresh. 10/10 for location, cleanliness, convenience. Hop skip and jump to convention centre, and the water (darling harbour) loved it!! Exceeded expectation.

I wrote to the manager about my stay which was one of the options when you first sent me this email. I mentioned the light rail connection to the hotel was hard to find. That has been looked into by Novatel and Ibis staff and signs may be erected in the car park to identify the entrance to the light rail station.

We were then upgraded again to the Novatel Hotel next door what great experience will come back again, Location in Darling Harbour is excellent, Thanks Ibis we had a great stay.

Getting a room at 10am after a long flight. Was expecting to store bags, but got a room instead! Bonus!. The locality. The very pleasant and helpful staff at reception and the dining room staff at breakfast. The $40 parking which allowed us the leave our car there until 4pm after we had checked out at 11am. If you want a hotel with a fabulous location this is hard to beat. It is clean and VERY well located. The location was just great and close to everything so that you were able to walk almost everywhere. It is in a great position at Darling Harbour. Close to the trade fair. Great views of the harbour. My daughter and l were very impressed with everything and the staff were so friendly and helpful. None at all! Don't agree with other negatives listed for this hotel. Recommend this hotel strongly!!!!. Smallish room but that's ok, extremely well designed. That the monorail is closing.i would have been really disappointed if my room did not have a view of the bay. Absolutely nothing. It was all good. Parking tooo expensive, but paid just for convenience. There wasn't a menu list available in your room and you had to go to the bar to view and order meals. There wasn't any information relating to the services it provides or what you could explore close by during your stay. Nothing. there was nothing we didn't like about our stay at the Ibis. no smoking inside the hotel, at least they should have made one dedicated space for smoking in one corner of the hotel. rooms were smaller than we expected but still overall a great stay since we weren't in our rooms much anyways. No free wi-fi; really, how much would it cost you to provide wi-fi? Virtually nothing. It doesn't really matter much because I have 3G data access on my i-Pad, never mind. It would be nice to have a wide screen tv rather than the little old narrow screen. I didn't understand how to set the alarm clock - but I have an alarm in my phone which is easy to use. Limited menu in restaurant - but plenty of eating establishments around. My shower had a bit of mould. There were only two pillows on the bed. On checking out we had to wait for 5-10 minutes for any lifts to get to our level. Tiny room. No lighting along walkway from monorail station to hotel entrance at night. The room was a little bit smaller than expected for what was a "Superior Double Room". With regards to parking - your booking confirmation mentioned parking was available at $35.00 per day. On checkout the young lady informs us that it was a flat rate of $40.00 a day, I did question this but did not argue or insist on only paying $35.00. Then when leaving the car park we were horrified when we placed our ticket in the machine and it quoted us a price of $60.00 for the two days, not happy. It would be nicer if the free WI FI was available in the rooms as well as the reception area for 60 mins over the day. Poor clothes closet Poor space for toilet articles in bathroom Too small wash-basin Poor lighting in bathrom Too few or no-existing hooks for outdoor garments. Internet not free. The service provided by staff was very basic. No car spots available when we got there. Fantastic to have 3 good sized mirrors, but unfortuantely the lighting was not good for applying makeup. Better light in the bathroom or at one of the other mirrors, and/ or a small mirror in front of the window's natural light would be appreciated. the room was little bit squishy for a family room. Absolutely nothing!!. Breakfast not included in the package. Need to include it while checking in to save $5 per day per person. Breakfast buffet was a little bit overpriced for $20pp, I would probably go elsewhere next time. Would also have been useful to have somewhere to put luggage, I.E. foldable luggage stand - so that you don't have to bend over so much. Not enough staff on front desk when we arrived, mid afternoon on Friday, so had to wait a long time to check-in. Didn't like the step from the bathroom into the bedroom. They can a locate few rooms for the smoker guest, it is a healthy to apply non smoking policy but some of our friend in the hotel express their anger. Small room, not enough power outlets. Couldn't plug phone and camera chargers for 2 people on bed side tables. Rooms a bit small. Nothing to report there. The parking is far too expensive, and so was the breakfast. Forty dollars for two is a bit steep, we would not have eaten forty dollars worth of food between the two of us. Rooms Very small - while the decor had been upgraded the finishing / paintwork were below average. Too small basin in bathroom -needed more shelves or a shelf near the socket /plug. Paint peeling& crumbling in places. All a bit Budget and a bit small for 2 adults, but the location and friendliness of staff made it a good experience. Take too long to queue at the frontline counter. there was nothing I didn't like only that I had to leave and come back to reality. Only one very small thing, there was no hand towel in the bathroom. Rooms are on the small side, but all we did there was sleep in it!. The cost was quite high compared to our stay in Singapore where we only paid $200 per night and the room was more modern and a lot larger. The rooms are on the small side, but clean and there was no safe in the room. I can say there was nothing l didnt like snd l would come back and stay again.
