Ibis was very convenient for what we were doing and cheap, so you get what you pay for and we were happy with that.
Not happy with wotif, booked and paid for 2 rooms and when we arrived at 9:00pm at night with a car trailer there was only one room, the other room had not been confirmed between wotif and Ibis. No chance to go elsewhere! Now wotif is not responding to emails and no refund. Not very good service from wotif.
Curly black hairs in the shower, marks in the toilet :( check in lady took a good ten minutes
Not soundproof at all
But it’s a cheap bed for a night so get what you pay for
Room was clean. Very small for three adults. Third bed not made, no offer to make it for us when I asked for linen. Difficulty contacting reception when stated to be open. Welcome at check in very ordinary. Toilet door hits bed when opening. Squishy toilet and shower with sink to wash hands on other side of room. Hallways daggy, carpet frayed. Had to shuffle around each other to move around room. More like a hostel than what I would expect from an Ibis.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Friendly staff, rooms were clean but small and tired looking. Very noisy at times. Not really convenient for transport.
The rooms were tidy and comfortable.Well priced and quiet.The only thing I found was the pillows were very thin and gave me a sore neck, needed an extra pillow.Otherwise no complaints..
For the price I can't really complain, however no power outlet next to the bed is annoying. No toilet brush. Airconditioner front panel filthy dirty, shower extraction fan dirty. No blanket in room. Noisy traffic particularly a lot of Police sirens throughout the night.
The Brunswick Tower Hotel for the same price was much better. The only reason I chose the Ibis was because of local prices, and much nearer to Epping.
