This is an ultimate budget room. Some would say it's fine, it has a bed and bathroom but I felt very dirty in it. Box air con looks filthy, bathroom was tiny and toilet got wet when showering, no basin in bathroom, no hand towel or soap, was only given 2 pillows and they were paper thin. Would have preferred to pay an extra $50 and stay somewhere comfy across the road.

one of the reception workers was really nice, but the rest of the stay was not good. I let them know that the bathroom fan was filthy and I have asthma, they told me they would clean it but when we got back it was still filthy. and they didn't clean the fridge either. they gave a sheltered area in the corner of their carpark and random people go to smoke and drink there. I would never stay again!

Would not recommend this property at all. Very poorly maintained, unresponsive and ill mannered staff, cleanliness is very poor. The beds, room and toilet are very uncomfortable This is not ibis standard. We have stayed ibis budget in syd and this one does not meet the standards. Avoid this place if you can.
