I checked in around 9pm on a Sunday,the Reception staff member was exceptional with his efficient and friendly service,the room was immaculate and quiet as well.
Close to transport, dining,shopping and entertainment options,this is my new destination for Sydney stays.
We paid five times more for way lower quality than other properties around ! Outside is like Amsterdam, bed had blood under the sheets and u can hear the person in the sides even breath !!
Incredible location. We were walking to Darling harbour in 15 min.
Trains and bus transport close by.
Unlimited dining options near by.
Tropicana, for breakfast up a couple of blocks is great.
Rooms are decent, comfy beds and pillows.
Reliable and prompt elevators.
Happy endings comedy show across the street.
Happy with stay.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Room was very average, semi blocked pipes in bathroom, vent taped to ceiling. Comfortable bed, great view. Staff were awesome and continental breakfast was great. Perfect for a place to sleep on a budget.
Conveniently located, a block away from a grocery store and close to other shopping areas. My room had a connecting door so I was hearing everything from the neighbouring room. Shower was…interesting. Less than a metre wide so you’re back is to a half glass divider. It is more of a wet bath room, so I would avoid putting down the floor mat until after you shower.
Amenities are not provided, it’s a 3in1 soap, but a free bottle of water at checking and a bunch of gummy candies at reception as well!
I had a great stay at Ibis Sydney east. Considering its perched above a busy road, the double glazing meant that the sound does not infiltrate the room and I had no trouble sleeping or just relaxing in the room. Staff were friendly and helpful. Kings Cross station is very close and you can get anywhere from there. My room even had a harbour and Opera House view, to my surprise. I would definitely recommend this hotel and will stay again.
The National park was not close by. It's on a main Sydney inner city road! Breakfast is only $15 so don't add to your accommodation for $34 (which was what i was offered!!!) - bit of a con. Old and definitely not worth what i paid even in Sydney.
It was as you'd expect from a budget hotel. No frills, very basic but clean rooms. Friendly customer service and an exceptional young man making the coffee at breakfast on Saturday. He made the morning experience!
Good location except for being positioned on a steep hill. There was no curtain or blind on the window. The window didn’t seal so noise from the busy road out front was excessive. The bathroom hand sink leaked onto the floor.
