ibis budget Dubbo 3 つ星

Quickly stopped overnight whilst travelling the Newell. Didn’t need anything flash. Greeted by very friendly and sociable staff member. Obviously a small room, but satisfactory amenities and clean. Facilities for tea and coffee nicely stocked. Conveniently located next to a nice pub, where we could grab a decent meal without having to drive. The smoking area could perhaps be situated in a better spot than next to the bin in the accessibility parking spots. Thanks for an easy stopover!

My daughter and I stayed one night as travelled further out west and again on the way home. It is a budget hotel so some of the rooms where very compact & others were larger. We found the beds comfortable with good sheets and the rooms very clean. Breakfast was basic continental however had a good supply of various food available. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

I sacrificed my points to cancel our return stay to this establishment as I've never been to such a small room hotel in my life and the sleep quality was very poor, the pillows were extremely thin and the beds very low to the ground. On arrival our host gave us a key card that didn't work I was told it worked so I went back up the stairs still didn't work, back down he came up and nope door electronic didn't work. After several attempts he offered us another room that wasn't ready so the last resort was apparently the good room I would of hated to see the first room. Our 4 suitcases filled the room you could not walk around the beds, the Breakfast supplied was OK. The only saviour for this place was the staff they were helpful and tried to make sure everything was good with what they had to work with.

I understand that you get what you pay for but if you want someone to pay $90 for a room the least you can do is actually make sure that you treat them like a human being. On arrival, receptionist seemed ok at first but it was noticeable that she didn’t really seem to care for her job. We asked for a second room key because we both wanted to be able to go out separately and we were rudely told “we don’t do that”. I’ve stayed in plenty of hotels before, this one in particular and have never had an issue when requesting a second key, in fact, a second key is usually automatic when you book for 2 guests. The shower wasn’t pleasant at all, public beach showers are better and they are free. Two thin pillows on the bed so one for each of us with no extras available. No bedside tables, no light switches next to the bed, two tiny lights and no ceiling light, tv that is so small you can barely see it, no power points the list goes on. There’s a hair dryer chucked up the top of the cupboard along with what seems to be a blanket used for prisoners in police stations and an old worn power board that looks like if you used it you would electrocute yourself. Sheets on the bed are stiff and just uncomfortable and the mattress feels like you’re laying on a steel plate. I wasn’t expecting Hilton quality but jeez for $90 I was expecting a little bit of quality and comfort. Ibis has gone down hill since I last stayed in one. Next time we decide to take a nice spontaneous little trip away, we are definitely avoiding Ibis entirely and will spend a little extra for a hotel that values its customers comfort! PS! Writing this at 1:31am whilst trying to, and so far unsuccessfully, get some sleep before a 5 hour drive home in the morning!!! Do better!

This facility is very tired and in need of some TLC. The room was small, with inadequate power points, threadbare carpet, a hole in the wall and noisy air conditioning. It was difficult to find the car park entrance, particularly when travelling from Parkes. The staff were amazing, we appreciated the assistance getting luggage from car to room. The word budget is in the name of this hotel. This is a true indication of what you get for your money. The continental breakfast was appreciated but the promised barista coffee was not available.
