Hotel berhampiran Narromine Arcade, Dubbo

Ibis motels have their niche within the budget tier of rooms. They are what they are - a smaller, more basic room without a lot of frills catering for those chasing lower cost accommodation. Ibis Dubbo fits this description. The rooms are clean and contain the essentials. What sets Ibis Dubbo apart from other motels, regardless of the price, is the staff. Mel and Wahaj could not have been more welcoming or accommodating. Nothing was too much trouble and they went out of their way to make sure that my stay was fantastic. Other guests I spoke to mentioned the same thing, saying that they had, in various ways, done things to make their stay easier and more enjoyable. I noticed that they are in the process of updating and renewing the facilities and they’ve done an amazing job of giving the motel a fresh new appearance, from the kitchen and reception to the pillows and bedding. As an added bonus the bed was extremely comfortable and I had really wonderful sleep.

Super soft beds, perfect for our late check in after 13hrs of driving.

We booked this on short notice. We were staying at Western Plains Taronga Zoofari and didn't get to explore things like the Dubbo gaol in town, so we decided to add a night. As 40 year veterans of the Hospitality industry, my wife behind the bar and me usually in front of it, we had a very good idea of what we were getting into. We stayed on a Friday night, and a quick check of the socials we saw that a DJ show was scheduled for that night, but we heard pretty much just muffled sound, nothing to disturb us. Space was tight, It was clean where it counts, Aircon filter could of used a bit of attention, walls and carpet had a bit of a tale to tell, but to me it is nice to know if you accidentally add a sentence to the story - downstairs ain't gunna sweat too much, as always adding a paragraph or chapter you will be looking for trouble but... Talking about downstairs- the staff were so helpful and friendly, the food was awesome. The position is also awesome really central, just make sure you take advantage of the car park if you have booked, the council parking police are very diligent in their enforcement of the one hour limit for street parking. One last thing. Amaroo- add toilet brushes to the bathroom. After the bistro had shut, I had a craving for a hot chilli Kebab, went a couple of doors down and got one. Next morning - in the immortal words of the 12th man Billy Birmingham, I damaged the Doulton quite a bit. We did make a big effort to clean it brushless with a lot of flushing, but apologies to the person that ended up with the job of cleaning it.

Room was very nice and clean, good sized and close by lots of eating options. The TV was the only issue, the Austar Box connection doesn't suit the TV and the streaming comes up much smaller than the actual TV screen size. Normal channels on the TV were fine but TV is getting very old.

Good for a budget stay. The room ended up cheaper with the NSW Stay voucher witch was great help! Basic rooms, clean and tidy. Only problem was that the room didn't have a bedside lamp. The rooms look like they have been recently renovated, as well as the shared bathroom areas. Surprised how quiet the room is, there was a lot of people around cause of both State if origin game showing and Amy Shark was playing as well (was staying here cause of her show) Plenty of street parking available too, and easy access to free Wi-Fi. Location was also good, close to town and other amenities, Would stay here again.

Used to always stay here in the early 2000’s, but it slipped significantly, so stopped staying. A friend recently recommended I try it again, and very glad we did. Hotel is well located, off the 2 busy through roads in Dubbo, and appears to have undergone a significant refresh. Our Room ( 5 ) was excellent. ……plenty of room, great beds, very modern / clean and great bathroom facilities. We received a complimentary drink voucher each, on check in and Tarif included a very nice hot buffet breakfast. Tariff was very reasonable. I also invited family from Dubbo, to join us for dinner in the Bistro. Excellent food and service. Our family confessed they had not been here for some years, but we’re very impressed and will be back again soon. Great to be back at the Macquarie Inn and will stay here again when next visiting family in Dubbo…. Great that it has returned to its former glory days.
