The hotel rooms are small and not very clean. We also came after a flight from Europe very tired, we had to make the bunk beds for the kids. The room was basic which was ok if it was clean...unfortunately it wasn't . We could not even open a window as the room faced a very busy street. For the... More

If all you need is a clean bed for the night and somewhere to shower, you don't need to spend a fortune in over priced CBD accommodation. IBIS Budget Melbourne is good value for very little money. Friendly staff and a 24 hour reception all helps.

A very basic, no frills at all except TV, room with no view but at the price for a central CBD location it is hard to beat if all you want to do is sleep the night there. There's no space to do anything else but it is clean and convenient. The BIG bonus is the $9 breakfast that would... More

I stayed at the Ibis with my 3 children. Its a fantastic location and great value. Its basic accommodation, however if that is what you are after in a great location its great. Rooms and bathroom was clean, it was just the air conditioning (which was an old style unit in the window) was noisy and we could not get... More

I stayed here with 2 friends over the weekend for 3 nights recently, the rooms are very small and consisted of a double bed and a single type bunk bed for the third person. The rooms had heating and a TV which was good. This is a budget hotel so don't expect much, we just wanted a cheap place to... More

Book this place knowing what you're in for: it's a Budget Ibis, and it has "budget" written all over it. I stayed here 1 night with a group of friends since we were just looking for a place to crash, but even then some basic essentials were lacking. The bathrooms (as you can probably tell from the photos) are not... More

We wanted something central and reasonably priced to sleep in as out sightseeing all day. Fit the bill perfectly. Cosy, comfortable, affordable, easy access to transport, walking distance to everything. Didn't expect the TV, so welcome extra.

My friend and I were had a long day for round trip driving on Great Ocean Road, so what I need is a quiet place to sleep and not expensive at all, so this hotel does the work. The room, as said by others, is small. With a queen bed and a single bulk bed. TV is a bonus, perhaps... More
