The hotel was located in a great location, easy access to great restaurants and the stadium. The staff were lovely and helpful. The room was super clean. Would stay here again.

Lift has very strong smell. Indian front desk was very unfriendly.

I usually stay in one of your top end hotels but everything was booked out in the area and I ended up booking the ibis budget. It was very small and modest and not what I’m used to staying in however the bed was comfortable. Pillows were comfortable sheets were perfect clean and that made sleeping very good so I was happy to have two good night sleeps during my stay, which was I only stayed for two nights and I will not stay again because I would probably choose one of your better accommodation but always happy with a call plus group and not dissatisfied with the modest but comfortable at Ivy’s budget

Convenient for concert at AfterPay Arena

booked for the footy with the family. Great location and clean.

Decent enough rooms, staff were lovely, couple broken things in the room but bit hard to hold that against them as it probably comes with the location being so close to a stadium

Friendly staff

We were initially checked in to room 539 and told to expect the cleaners to come through because reception was expecting to be very busy later in the day and wanted to give us our key and room even though it was not cleaned yet. I asked a couple of cleaners throughout the day if they were about to clean our room but neither of them had it "on their list". We told one that we would go out for a couple of hours to let them have the chance to clean it while we were gone. When we came back at after 3pm, the room still wasn't cleaned and the A/C was leaking profusely. We eventually found out that the room wasn't even on the list to be cleaned after I again spoke to a cleaner and alerted them to the water coming from the A/C unit. They instructed me to go down to reception and have them change our room as we could not stay in a room with a leaking A/C unit that was not cleaned. So, I did as they advised. Unfortunately, we then were moved into a tiny room, room 338, which, although clean, was MUCH smaller than the one we had originally booked. Also, the A/C controller LCD screen was broken so we couldn't change any of the settings on the A/C resulting in us sleeping in a freezing room with the A/C blowing directly on the bed all night. When I approached reception asking about some sort of refund for such a shockingly poor experience, I received nothing. It's a close walk to Afterpay Arena but in future I will be staying elsewhere.

The ibis budget is exactly that - budget. It is simple, but it is clean, it is friendly, and it is the absolutely perfect location when seeing concerts and events, with heaps of parking and a really short walk over to the venues.

We tried contacting the hotel numerous times before hand to change rooms due to a booking error, however our phone calls were never returned. Whilst the hotel was able to fulfil our request on arrival, the room had no linen on one of the beds. We requested this 3 separate times over the space of 10 hours, and at 11pm had to wait at reception whilst the request was finally completed. Also - the shoer and sink is not separate to the rest of the room. There is a curtain for privacy. The main door effectively opens up directly into the bathroom with no privacy curtain, or any way to access the main room without walking directly past the glass (although frosted) shower. The rooms are tired and need a refresh. In saying this - this was a budget hotel, and guests staying here will be paying for the location near the various arenas. It is perfect for that. However - there are only two lifts, and no non-emergency stairs. Therefore, trying to get back to your room after an event can mean queuing up outside whilst you wait for the elevators.

The location is perfect. The reception staff pleasant in a difficult situation. The hotel uncared for a in some areas dirty. The room was at an almost unacceptable standard. It was a mans trip and we were only staying one night.

the room , was stained , carpet was dirty , toilet roll holder in pieces , sealing of both shower and toilet was broken , the building hall ways damaged , dirty and need of at least painting .

The electricity was buzzing all night it sounded like the key pad was going to catch on fire. We went down to reception for help and there was nothing they could do after 30mins of a worker in our room with no idea on how to fix the situation and they couldn’t move us to a different room as they were fully booked ‘apparently’ we are asked to get a at least 50% refund as we paid extremely top dollar for such a shit room and they said no there is nothing they could do. It was a horrendous night sleep and will never stay here again!

The room wasn’t clean and the tv remote didn’t work. It looked like someone had squirted sunscreen or some other substance on the wall.

Hotel was close to the stadium so made getting in and out easy. Needs a bit of updating but was clean and the staff were helpful

Presently surprised after reading negative revues. Staff were polite, professional & extremely friendly. Early check in was available & greatly appreciated - Thank you. Location was excellent. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay in room 435 again. Double bed was really comfortable, apparently bunk bed was hard. Price was ridiculously expensive for the NRL Grand Final weekend. Usually stay at the Novotel Olympic Park but if the price is right at Ibis Budget I will be returning.

Clean, friendly service great location

Our room was filthy, the doona was stained yellow, shower was mouldy, kettle was full of some weird liquid, shower was mouldy, particularly near pivot points on the door, the ac unit dripped water on us whenever we walked underneath it and the walls are paper thin. I don’t know if it’s only some rooms as our last stay was much better.

Staff were very nice, it was the room as a whole that was unsatisfactory. There was no fitted sheet on the bed and there were mouldy blueberries left in the fridge. During a storm the roof started leaking. I felt that the bathroom products provided were not sufficient enough (3in1 body, face, hair wash and that’s all). Definitely not worth the $600 it cost for just ONE night
