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.

Rude staff, dirty rooms, chaos from naughty teenagers everywhere in the hotel No sleep whatsoever Liquid stains on the walls, wouldn't even want o guess what they were Could not wait to leave Also, kings cross is down right scary by anyone's standards unless you are a thug, prostitute or drug dealer you will love it

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...

A very disappointing experience at this hotel. The rooms smells bad, the back of the hotel is dirty and also smell bad and most specially the staff does not care with the patrons AT ALL! Would definitely NOT RECOMMEND THIS TO MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS!

Great location. Rooms are very small. Comfy enough beds. Marks on walls. Clean bathroom. Quiet room (we had a room at the back), although you can hear people in the hallway. Only a curtain for the shower (no barrier on floor), so water goes everywhere. Good for a short stay. You get what you pay.

Good hotel and great location and was lucky to get a room at the back of the hotel on a quiet lane. Clean and comfortable and doesn't have the modular bathroom that some Formule 1 hotels have which for a bigger person are a pain, this one was a good size basic bathroom. Would stay again because of the location,... More
