ibis Sydney World Square

If a good night's sleep matters, stay somewhere else. I was there for one night before a work meeting the following week, and the nightclub next door kept me hearing every song. The air conditioning was okay, but the room still felt warm. At check-in, the woman was polite, but didn't acknowledge my silver status until I asked about a late checkout, which she did grant. I knew Ibis wasn't fancy, having stayed in their hotels before, but I wouldn't recommend this one.

The room was good, and the bathroom was adequate. It's close to the city, easy to get around from, and there are plenty of food options nearby. All the staff were very friendly and kind. I booked about four months ahead for New Year's and got a good price. If you're planning to go for New Year's, I'd recommend booking about six months in advance.

The events I go to are literally around the corner, just a three-minute walk away, so the location is the best part. The room was simple and not soundproof at all. I could hear a couple arguing into the early morning. Breakfast was good, and the staff there were very attentive despite the crowd. I had some work to do, and the woman let me take food back with me. Check-in and check-out were simple. The Asian cook plated fresh mushrooms for me, which reminded me of my grandfather doing the same with milo when I was a child in Malaysia. Bless 🤍🧸

The room and beds felt too small, and the ventilation was poor enough that I felt short of oxygen while staying there. The staff were good and the service was not bad. The location is excellent, close to the shopping mall, museum station, World Square and lots of restaurants. They could improve things to make it feel worth the money.
