Convenient location to airport, quick 5 min walk. Have stayed here many times. Ticks all the boxes when you have early flights. Clean, comfy, good aircon, no lift for those who may have issues lugging bags up stairs but the young man at reception offered to take my bags to my room.

We’re friendly enough. No elevator which is not ideal. The price was almost the same as the other ibis styles on the other side of the airport. Had I known this? I would’ve stayed at the ibis style.

Not again.

It was ok but in retrospect I would have stayed in one of the more upmarket hotels. No lift so had to carry heavy luggage up the stairs. The walk to the terminal is not so clear and no transport so had to walk quite a distance. The price of the room, I thought was in A$ turned out to be £'s so I paid a lot more than I was expecting.

There is no lift at this hotel. The hotel has three levels. It reminded me of staying in a youth hostel. Hopefully we won’t need to stay here again. The young male receptionist was nice. The hotel is a short walk to Melbourne Airport and McDonalds.
