Seems this hotel is party central for twenty somethings. Spent 2 hideous nights here. Room was incredibly sparse and bathroom had a broken and cracked sink which leaked all over the floor. Nowhere to hang clothes. No phone to contact reception to let them know of the all night parties taking place in the corridors. Spent all night both nights... More

Worst IBIS we ever stayed in and we have stayed in many all over the world. Large room with only bed, large table and three chairs. Bathroom was tiny and when we showered everything got wet! It was cold, no extra blankets....did not dare to pout on heat, because there was mold in the corner of the room and we... More

I was really worried about this place as I've read so many bad reviews. It was much better than expected. Actually this is a typical F1, a budget place like any other F1 you'll find around the world. I was there for just one night and felt no bad smell at all. Everything was good and clean. Room was good... More

Overall very good manager & staff were excellent and very helpful, great location BUT noisy during the night might want to think about double glazing same as the one at the airport, bit hot in the rooms as well maybe look at being able to open a window even a few inches to let in some air.

Good value but not unrealistic to provide at least a hook, coat hanger or two and a drawer and shelf to unpack just the basics. Mentioned this last time but clearly not regarded as important. It seems a shame to spoil the experience for such a small modification even in budget accommodation. Leigh Kealton

I found it on the internet under a search for Ibis hotels in the region which I thought it was until I had paid. The room was reasonably priced but as basic as basic can be and in my opinion more like an expensive back packers.

Being the closest motel to the famous Kings Cross I thought it would be the perfect place to start an Aussie adventure. It is a minute walk from the "strip" with the lights of the harbor bridge and opera house just around the corner. Perfect placement. I suggest you take some HAZMAT suits with you as I am not sure...
