ibis Sydney Olympic Park 3 estrellas

We stayed at the ibis overnight for a concert. On arrival at 2:30 we were told that check in wasn’t until 3pm and that we could wait in the bar and the front reception would call when the room was ready, needless to say they didn’t call, we approached the reception at 4pm to be advised that our room was ready and had been ready for some time. there was a concert the previous night and the hallways leading to the room was filthy, you had to dodge dirty plates, cups, broken glass and food scattered on the carpet not to mention the feathers that littered the hallway. The room itself had mould in the bathrooms and the towels in the bathroom had a funky smell to them that honestly smelt like they had been laundered with rotting meat. On checking out the next morning the hallways were still scattered with feathers and random bits of food smooshed into the carpet. Overall it was a disappointing stay and would not recommend.

We stayed here for a nearby festival and we were offered a late checkout and breakfast for a really good price and really came in handy after a long day. Lilly from the restaurant was great, took really good care of us and went out of her way to help us with a question we had and made our whole stay even better.

My son and I headed to Sydney for the Everton vs Celtic game at Olympic Park and chose this nearby hotel. We arrived fairly late after attending an ODI cricket day night game at the SCG and checked in. When we got to the room we opened the door, slotted the plastic key in the light slot and found two people already asleep in the twin beds. Awkward! The woman who checked us in was on a break when we returned to reception and her replacement told us there were no others rooms available. I wasn’t happy and asked to speak to the manager. She arrived and sorted the problem fairly quickly. Our room had been mistakenly given to another pair and we put into where they should have been. We were offered a complimentary breakfast as an apology and accepted it. The buffet breakfast was very nice too. The abundance of Everton and Celtic fans made for an entertaining couple of days. The room was very basic and there were more issues when checking out. I was given a whole new name and they attempted to charge me extra for having the room serviced. I refused to do this and was fairly happy to leave. I can’t imagine any other reasons to stay here other than attending sports events at the Olympic Stadium. The staff seemed pretty clueless and the accommodation is over priced.

Friendly staff at front desk, although queues to check in (tip: check in ahead of time, they will send you an email). Room had windows that opened (loved the fresh air!). Clean room. Tip if you're breakfasting at the hotel, you can ask for a barista coffee.

Mysterious brown material crusted into the bath towels, powerpoints that don't work, and then they double charge you and deny they've double charged you as the final slap in the face. Parking was also incredibly expensive given the location is really in the middle of nowhere.
