ibis budget Coffs Harbour 3 نجوم

The Ibis is very dated, the carpet was threadbare and smelly, the bathroom walls were very old and there was urine on the bathroom floor. Sheets were not clean and room was exceptionally small. This motel needs to be completely refurbished or knocked down.

I’m known amongst friends and family for always researching accommodation and restaurants before I commit to staying / eating at those places. I dropped the ball well and truly when I booked here. To justify my lack of consistency it was an unplanned trip to Coffs with a matter of urgency. I had packed lightly with my usual basics as I’ve stayed at many Ibis properties (but never a Budget) thinking most things I required would be provided. Firstly on entering there was a distinct smell of dog odour. Even though they have a “no pet policy” the property allows people to smuggle an animal in without being detected. Coffee, tea, milk etc provided but no spoon. A bath mat is provided in the bathroom but with a flat floor between the shower and remaining area this is pointless as the bath mat is soaked within minutes with a flimsy shower curtain being defeated. No hair dryer being provided and to be fair in this minuscule bathroom where could they store it as there is no vanity unit. Never mind thinks me I’ll phone reception to see if I could collect a hair dryer ! Hang on, no telephone. Never mind I’ll go down to reception to enquire but no one on reception. We noticed 2 vending machines in the foyer when checking in. Feeling snackish we later went down to buy some snacks. I’m informed by the very pleasant receptionist that the machines only take coins with no offer of a solution. We have a good sense of humour and this stay provided some laughs with a story to tell friends and family that a place such as this actually exists. On a positive note the staff were very pleasant and there was ample parking.

What a disgusting and dirty property . When I went to the room the aircon was leaking down the wall and then there were cockroaches running over the benches , I also paid for breakfast but at 4AM I was woken to cockroaches crawling over me so left ,

Firstly, the staff were welcoming and friendly and the room itself was well presented, clean and tidy. Secondly, that’s where it ended. Had to drag heavy bags up to the second floor, holes in the bathroom wall, right next to a hotel so noise went to past midnight, people slammed doors all night. Will never stay there again.

Just needed 6 hours of rest before catching a flight - should have laid down on the park bench instead! Turned up at 11.30am and the doors are conveniently locked till midday so we had to stand out in the rain! Tried to call reception and no one was there! When checking in, the receptionist seemed uninterested in us and was paying some game on their iPhone 16 pro max! Got fleeced an extra $50 as I was checking in before 2pm even though I clearly stated we would only be a few hours!’ No lift. No help with carrying the luggage. All luggage to be hand carried up the stairs. The room is small, no shampoo in the bathroom! The place is basically a scumbucket magnet for other so called guests! Every type of knucklehead under the sun gravitates to the IBIS: Smelly hippies spilling out of their housevans, tattooed surfers, barefoot bogans fighting each other for fun, and cashed-up boomers flittering between overpriced organic cafes! Plenty of freaks and ferals share the same hotel with you - so keep your room door tightly locked as you may get mugged in the corridor outside! The IBIS is over run with feral tourists on a budget and you’re not sure if they are on holiday or on the run from the police. You will find the IBIS car park conveniently littered with half-eaten takeaways and used condoms, as clearly it’s to much effort to clear up this mess! Some of the people who reside at the IBIS are pretentious trustafarians who turned up for Splendour in the Grass and forgot to fock off home after the mushies wore off. You also will rub shoulders with meth heads who appear to be private school plastic hippies who use their old man’s money to live the ‘Coffs Harbour dream’, subsidizing their supposed ‘free spirit lifestyle’ which actually consists of wearing cheap jewelry they bought in Bali while complaining about other fake hippies, and catching herpes from German backpackers and generally doing large amounts of serious fock all. The IBIS consists of drunken drongos smashing each other’s teeth out and projectile vomiting at passersby's in the corridors! Best thing about staying at the IBIS - is checking out, knowing you never have to stay in this rancid dump ever again!
