We could not get plates, glasses and cutlery to have our meals. The toilet flush did not work! There was no toilet brush in the bathroom. It was a room for 4 and we needsd to clean up after ourselves and the no brush to do so!!!!😩😩😩

Good, affordable and convenient hotel to stay in after a late flight
Pros:

Good, affordable hotel with great location near airport - perfect if needing to stay before or after a flight, and more cheaper compared to some other hotels in the area. Shuttles to airport available from hotel as well. Ramps near entry door good for accessibility purposes.

Cons:

The bathroom and shower area is quite small. Can be a bit noisy at times. There are limited public bus/train options (mainly Domestic Airport Train Station or Mascot Station) so keep in mind you will most likely need to book a taxi or Uber to get to the nearest train station. Do not get an Uber or taxi from the airport to the hotel (or vice versa) - they charge ridiculous prices. Its about a 10 minute walk from Domestic Airport to the hotel if you are staying here after a flight.

Recommended hotel for one night
Pros:

If you don't have overly high expectations for a hotel, this is the right place. The room was functional and even better and more modern than other Ibis Budget hotels I've stayed in. The staff allowed for an early check-in. The airport is also within walking distance of the hotel.

Cons:

The rooms are quite small, but that's to be expected from this hotel chain.

Friendly staff and quiet rooms
Pros:

Close to the airport, but quiet and nice, clean and very friendly staff. The breakfast was served at at hotel nearby and was very good compared to what you normally get at Ibis hotels

Cons:

I liked all of it. I was only going to stay for one night after having flown in from Copenhagen and picking up a rental car the day after at Sydney Airport.
