ibis Sydney Darling Harbour

Tiny little shoebox of a room, not cheap either. Very noisy, thin walls... someone's phone alarm went off at 6am and was not turned off for 20 minutes, then went off again for another 10 minutes and woke us up. Who does that?? Also very unimpressed with the woman at reception. Went down to purchase a bottle of water from there (there's a sign that says 'purchase at reception'). Tried to send us over to the cafe, rolled her eyes and sighed when pointed the sign out. She was clearly too full of her own self importance to serve us. Location-wise it was quite good but based on the above I don't think we'd waste our money here again.

Got upgraded to a Darling Harbour room. It was needed after a long and arduous check in.

Great and convenient location with light rail at the doorstep Neat and tidy Friendly staff

I believe the breakfast bainmaries were far too cold and need to be considerably hotter. When the food within them (sausages, bacon, scrambled eggs etc.) is placed on cold plates it is eaten barely warm. Must present the food hotter…

If you want smelly rooms, aircon not working, poor ventilation, grubby carpets, grubby bathrooms, a crappy buffet breakfast, then this is your best option. Will never book ibis again.

Overall: Good value for price. Room & Bathroom: Rooms and bathroom are clean and you have the option to ask for room cleaning daily. Of the toiletries provided with the room, it's important to note that there is no toothbrush or toothpaste, so make sure to bring your own. Even with the door closed, you'll still be able to hear things outside the corridor like doors closing and footsteps. The plumbing is a little loud and a little dated, but water pressure in showers and toilet are good. Location: It's close to the Star Casino, Sydney Fish Markets, and ICC, so quite convenient if you're doing something around that area. It was great to have a drink with a view. Bar: The bar staff are really nice and will take good care of you. Drinks are affordable and made quickly. For my two night stay I didn't bother going out for a drink and just ended my nights at the hotel bar. The area directly below the hotel is currently a construction site, so there's an unobstructed view of Darling Harbour that lets you see Centrepoint very clearly from the outdoor part of the bar. Location: Easy access to Darling Harbour and it's attractions. Pyrmont Bridge, that connects the two sides of the harbour, is right by the hotel, letting you basically walk from Pyrmont to Town Hall in a straight line. Plenty of Lunch and Dinner options around Cockle Bay Wharf and Darling Harbour as well. Ferries aren't too far away either.

Very walkable perfect location

Property was great location. No pool or gym otherwise highly recommend for basic accommodation. Restaurant and bar good.

Staff was very nice and helpful

Good service

Great view great price

Ask for new towels, the towels of the day before ware in the bathroom, don’t take it away. The property need to get a facelift. It’s to old. To much noise from the other rooms.

Nice but you get what you pay for.

Convenient

Reasonable price, great location, but needs some updating in the rooms.

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).

Our access cards failed 4 times, 2 times from check in and 2 times again when we arrived back to the hotel. Only two lifts working

Convenient for our stay and either a walk or a ferry ride to circular quay to other central items.
