Rooms so small and single beds were so hard and uncomfortable as well as the pillows didn't sleep well at all the whole time we stayed here.
The only thing we would recommend is the buffet breakfast it was amazing although the staff at breakfast not helpful at all.

Things to love: price, location, buffet breakfast pretty good
Things not so great: room was pretty dated, staff were really slow, there was always a queue at reception which was really frustrating.

But: you get what you pay for and the location being walking distance over the bridge to the CBD was amazing

The whole experience was excellent. Visiting a convention, the facilities were everything we needed. The staff were all very helpful and a pleasant feature of the experience.

The Ibis is a great location near to the Convention Centre where I was attending an event. The rooms are well appointed with most things that I expect in a hotel room. The downstairs bar/food area was great for meeting friends after our event.
For the price it was an easy place to stay and navigate around Sydney.

While the hotel staff were consistently polite and helpful, the condition and maintenance of the room were unacceptable and significantly impacted my stay. Upon arrival, the bed sheets had visible stains, raising immediate concerns about cleanliness. The in-room refrigerator produced persistent loud noise, disrupting sleep on multiple nights. In addition, we experienced a complete loss of hot water for an entire day, which caused considerable inconvenience. The shower faucet also made loud and unpleasant noises during use, indicating poor maintenance.

The only good things about this stay were Patty on reception (who was lovely to us) and the breakfast was satisfactory.

Otherwise, the property was rundown, the room was unclean, blinds didn't block out outside lights at night, no amenities (such as a gym etc) and worst of all there was no hot water for a shower (which many other people were complaining about upon checkout).

Would not recommend and would not stay here again, may as well stay at a backpackers hostel!

The rooms definitely need an update. Parts on the wall/door trim in the bathroom was missing. The walls in the bathroom next to the toilet needed cleaning as you could see splash marks up the wall. A staff member seemed very abrupt & annoyed when they were interrupted while he was talking to people they knew. We’ve stayed at the Novotel next door for around the same price as ibis & would much prefer there due to the rooms & service.

It was supposed to be a “superior” room though I’d hate to stay in what it was superior than.
The best thing about the hotel was its location and as we only slept in the room 2 nights it was too bad. Didn’t have breakfast or use the bar so can’t comment.

Suited me perfectly as I was attending a function at the Lyric Theatre which was walking distance from the Ibis. It is unfortunate that there is a large complex being built in front of the Ibis but it’s proximity to Darling Harbour, the Maritime Museum and the Casino and Lyric theatre makes it worth considering as a destination.

The buffet breakfast was a very nice with lots to choose from if booked the night before it’s only $25 all you can eat.
Parking is a breeze at the Wilson’s harbour side parking station right next door and only $40 overnight. Only a short 5 minute walk to darling harbour.
I would definitely recommend this hotel for your next stay in the city.

I recently stayed at Ibis Darling Harbour and unfortunately, it wasn’t a great experience overall. The hotel is in quite poor condition—carpets are ripped in places, and both the rooms and bathrooms feel very worn and in need of maintenance and renovation.

Service was also disappointing for the most part, as some staff members came across as unfriendly and unhelpful. However, I do want to acknowledge one staff member—a young woman at reception—who kindly assisted us in changing rooms. She was professional, approachable, and made an effort to improve our stay, which we really appreciated.

That said, the general condition of the hotel and the inconsistent service made the stay far below expectations. I hope management takes steps to improve both the facilities and customer experience.

It was a lovely stay, just wished the bed wasn’t on wheels that moved while we slept as we tossed or rolled over, more secure would be appreciated. The shower door, there was no way of actually having it properly closed as it would swing open.

The only uncleanliness would be in the lifts, carpets could do with vacuuming more often.

Staff were lovely and the hotel itself was in a wonderful location.

We only stayed one night as a layover and it was suffice for us. We had a Queen room with ensuite. Not alot of space for big luggage or alot. We asked for a harbourview room. Unfortunately due to another skyrise buildings being built infront of the hotel, it will soon lose its harbourview, which is ashame as it certainly would have been worthwhile. The bed was very comfy and warm. Ensuite was ok. Shower pressure was great though. The hallways on our floor, the carpets could do with a spruce up as its looking very outdated. Dinning area and bar was open, both inside and out. Staff were friendly and accommodating especially with allowing us to store our luggage pre-check in and post check out while we explored the city. All in all, its not luxurious but if you're just looking for a bed for a night or two thats cost effective and want to be close to the hype, Ibis Sydney Darling Harbour is a good place to stay.

Great location in Darling Harbour precinct and easy walk to the CBD and down to Circular Quay area. Checking in staff member clearly announced my room number in front of other nearby people. Sleep deprived and exhausted after being on the go for the previous 30+ hours meant I had to ask which way to turn once I got the room key. Very difficult to turn off the shower taps properly- particularly the hot tap, which could be a safety concern.
