Accidentally took the lift to the basement, dead cockroaches everywhere. Very noisy due to some drunk couple arguing in the corridor at 2am, no one to call to get it sorted. Shower is actually in the bedroom just behind a curtain. Reading lights didnt work, sink cracked, toilet flush was faulty.

Excellent staff

I checked in very early and they kindly allowed me to have a room despite the fact that room check in is 2pm. The hotel staff were all very helpful. I'd have liked to have seen extra options listed in the room though, eg: the cost of breakfast, etc. However, I'd happily stay here again.

My room wasn't clean, and it got booked out a second time after I checked in. A random stranger let themselves into my room while I was in bed! Staff were apologetic but offered no compensation. The next night my access card didn't work and had to be reset, and when I explained to the next staff member it might be to do with the previous nights double booking she just laughed. Location was great, and shower pressure excellent, but I didn't feel safe there and wouldn't go back.

The best thing about the hotel is the location. Saddly, I booked a room with a QUEEN SIZE bed and the room they provided had a double bed. When I asked about it they didn’t even bother to check; they just said that “it should be queen”. Not the best customer service, but then again; location’s great.

Great location, the "budget" is very accurate

Remembering that this hotel is a "budget" hotel from ibis, it's a great hotel. The location in the middle of a busy street with tons of shops and incredibly easy access to public transportation couldn't have been any better. I came for F1 weekend and it was so easy to get to the trams to get to the track. When I initially checked into the room, I was given a very small room where most of the lights and eventually the AC did not work. Being in the end of summer, the AC not turning on was a huge deal for me. However, once I mentioned it to the front desk, they were very quick to move me rooms and actually gave me a nice unexpected upgrade to a room with a street view, working AC and all of the lights work. If you're looking for something in a better location, your trip will come and go before you find something. But if you're looking for something that you can brag about to your family members back home, there's more than a couple of other options in Melbourne. Overall: Highly recommended for F1 weekend.
