I've stayed in Ibis hotels before, so I know to expect fairly basic small rooms. But I'm afraid this hotel is an embarrassment to the Accor group. My 2x single-bed room was stupidly small, but also in a poor state of decoration; odd looking stain on the carpet, dirty-looking grout in the (INSANELY small) bathroom floor and marks on the... more

Our travel agent recommended Hotel Ibis – Darling Harbour because of the affordable rates and great location. We took his word for it and could not wait to start our vacation in Sydney. We arrived at around 12:30pm, October 26, 2009. A not so pleasant Asian guy assigned us at the 2nd floor with 2 single beds. We requested for... more

We booked 2 months in advance and the rooms we booked where not available. When they finally re-arranged some rooms, we got up to the room and it was like a matchbox. Smoking rooms have no ventilation. Service was appalling. more

We were on a 3 week trip encompassing Singapore, Cairns, Sydney, Coffs Harbour, Sydney again, then Bangkok on our return to U.K. Arrived around 8 a.m. (too soon for access to the room) but no probs. I had read that harbour view rooms were worth the upgrade cost, so we took one of those, they secured our luggage and we... more

I stayed at the Hotel Ibis Darling Harbour for three nights whilst on a conference at the Convention Centre. It was extremely well located, with convenient easy access to everything I needed. I walked into Sydney CBD early each morning to enjoy great coffee and breakfast options, but other delegates who ate breakfast at the Ibis felt it was adequate... more

My wife & I have just stayed at the Ibis for the second time & enjoyed it very much. Some people complain/comment on the size of the rooms, you only sleep in them the rest of the time you are out and about. The rooms are clean, the staff at reception were very helpful, yes the lifts can be a... more

We stayed at the Ibis Darling Harbour for 3 nights while visiting Sydney during a holiday to Brisbane, to be truthful we booked the Ibis because it was reasonably cheap. Upon arrival we were shown to a twin room (unfortunately there were three of us including my 8 year old daughter), after a trip back to reception a porter arrived... more

Stayed at the Ibis for a conference. The conference centre is just a short walk away, the monorail is close, so too is the casino, maritime museum and Lyric Theatre. It is located in a great position. It is just a short walk across the Pyrmont Bridge to the city. I was concerned about previous reviews re: room size, however... more

I stayed at the IBIS Darling Harbour for a Conference in August 2009. The price of the room was $179 for a Darling Harbour view and this can have been the only reason for paying so much. The rooms are incredibly small with no adequate storage space, the only cupboard being a piece of wood in the corner with hangers... more
