ibis budget Sydney Olympic Park 3 stars

I stayed for a week while working at olympic park. My room was clean and tidy and nice - except the door handle to the bathroom was about to fall off or lock me in the bathroom. I reported this to staff at the desk who said they would try to get it fixed during the day. That evening the door handle had not been fixed and I spoke to the staff at the desk again. They went above and beyond, moving me to another room then and there. This service was great, the new room was also very clean, tidy and the bed comfortable. Thank you for taking such care of visitors.

Staff handled all of my concerns, changes and questions with ease and I can not fault them. The location was amazing and was within walking distance of the venue that I needed to be at, with the convenience of a nearby Woolies and places to eat. Plumper or extra pillows would have been nice though.

Room is very overpriced and dissapointing for what it offers. Modern Jayco caravans are nicer and better fitted out!. The room is soooo small (no robe and a curtain acts as the bathroom). The interior is outdated - think 2000 Olympics. There was also a very stale/smoke air smell through out the hall ways (little to no aircon in halls it would appear) and halls were partially blocked by many very large linen collection bags which one had to weave around to get to the room. Parking was helpful but calling it a contentinial breakfast is a stretch, with basic cereal and toast and packet coffee, with a non functional pancake machine and extra cost to have coffee from a machine that the attendant was reluctant to make. I know its called Budget, but honestly for the price I'd stay in another hotel near by or Uber or train it to/from Olympic park it would be cheaper and nicer.

The beds were comfortable and it was relatively quiet. Over our 5 night stay, our room was only ever made up if we put the sign out. Even then, only the towels were changed, the sheets were never changed. The front reception rarely answer the phone and the check in process was needlessly long.

Words cannot describe how bad an experience it was to stay at this hotel.
