A good location a little outside of the main CBD of Sydney, but lots to offer in the area itself. Staff were very friendly and welcoming, so thank you!

Stayed here a few times, and each time the staff have been friendly and accommodating. Can be a little expensive during peak times but it is a convenient location with clean air conditioned rooms. Will be back to stay again in 2 weeks for my birthday weekend

Convenient location and friendly service. Cleanliness of the bedding could use more attention though as stains were present.

Excellent location! A few minutes walk from the hotel to the most iconic places in Sydney! Amazing! Really nice staff, safe specially for solo travellers! Clean! I had a great experience! Definitely recommend staying in this Ibis hotel! Affordable nice place to stay in a so expensive city! The only downside for me was how noisy the cleaning staff are! Really annoying waking up 7:00 am with them making loud noises all the time

Great place to stay in Sydney! Close to just about everywhere you would want to go, and very affordable. The only downside was that I was not allowed to take the stairs despite being on the second floor, and the elevators are painfully slow...

Good, basic hotel close to Sydney harbor
The hotel was okay - basic but that's all we wanted. I was a little worried about the cleanliness after reading the reviews but I was pleasantly surprised. There are a lot of restaurants and places offering breakfast along nearby Victoria street. It is within walking distance from the Sydney harbor.

The only aspect of this stay I found to be displeasing was the setup and the cleanliness of the bathroom. However, I found the location to be ideal, being within ~30 minutes walking distance of notable sites, such as the Royal Botanic Gardens, St. Mary’s Cathedral, the Queen Victoria Building, and the harbor. This stay worked well for me, as someone who only uses the hotel as a place to sleep.

Location very close to kings cross. Walk to the CBD around 20 min. Rooms are very small but ok. If it’s just a room you need then this hotel will be ok.
