Good, basic hotel close to Sydney harbor
The hotel was okay - basic but that's all we wanted. I was a little worried about the cleanliness after reading the reviews but I was pleasantly surprised. There are a lot of restaurants and places offering breakfast along nearby Victoria street. It is within walking distance from the Sydney harbor.

Staff were extremely courteous, the images on booking site didn't really depict how small the rooms are but for a budget night or two close to the city it is good

Very popular with students, i.e. noisy at times. Situated within the King Cross area and very walkable into the city centre. As goes with the title of the Ibis it is a budget hotel.

Budget experience
It’s a budget hotel, so expect budget experiences. Really close to kings cross train station which made it easy to get to anywhere local and far. Lots of great dinning options.

The overall experience was not so good due to smelly bathrooms and dusty air conditioner which made me caught up cold and cough :-(
