My wife and I would like to point out that the young man in reception, was wonderful. He couldn't have been more helpful, and so polite and friendly. We were expecting budget hotel, and that's what we got. The bed was comfortable and shower had good pressure and temperature. Nothing at all to complain about. Thanks.

I recently stayed at the Ibis Budget Melbourne Airport with my family for a night before our international return flight. While it's perfectly fine for a solo traveler with a backpack, it didn't meet our needs as a family. The room was extremely compact, lacking any real luggage storage space, which made it difficult to manage our belongings. The absence of an elevator meant we had to carry our luggage up the stairs, which was inconvenient. The check-in staff were friendly and welcoming, which was a positive aspect of our stay. However, the room itself felt more like a barracks or dorm room than a hotel room due to its size and layout. Given the better airport proximity and superior amenities of the Ibis Styles Melbourne Airport, which was only $20-$40 more per night, we felt that the Ibis Budget was overpriced for what it offered. If you're traveling alone or on a tight budget, this might be a viable option, but for families or those seeking more comfort, I would recommend exploring other options.

This is a dog box of a place with very awkward rooms where the shower and toilet is in a box in the corner, right away from the hand basin. Feels very crammed in and way too expensive for what it is. Not very easy to get to the airport with luggage from this place. Will be avoiding.

Clean but very basic and small

Booked this hotel because it was relatively affordable compared to other airport hotels. But honestly, it was very below expectations for the price paid. Room is tiny, shower even tinier, kettle was gross (metal inside all rusty). It made Best Western motels look 5 stars in comparison. The only saving grace is that it was generally clean and about 10 mins walk to the airport.
