Hotel Ibis Darling Harbour

This is a no-frills, get-what-you-pay-for option in a good location. The rooms are on the small side, but were refurbished with a cool new look in late 2007. For location alone it’s still good value for your money, especially if you manage to get a cheap internet rate. Some rooms have views of Darling Harbour and the city, while others look over Pyrmont. The Ibistro bar and restaurant has an outdoor terrace. Bar. Disabled-adapted rooms. Internet (high-speed). No-smoking floors. Parking ($25). Restaurant. TV (cable).
