The property is really close to the airport. It was the least expensive this close to the airport. I felt safe. But as it states in the name "budget", well it sure is on their end. Beds are uncomfortable. Room had no class. Only 2 outlets for charging phones in inconvenient areas. No tissues, shampoo or conditioner. Just a bed and a tiny TV for $175 per night. I remember when a rooms like this were only $29.90.

Confused Ibis Budget with the other Ibis brand (map on Hotels.com site confusing). Budget property is a 20 minute walk with luggage to T4. No taxi's are handy, as they are all leaving the airport at this location. Staying here is a big mistake if you have a flight to catch.

Serves a purpose

Serves a purpose, as a brief overnight between flights. It’s inexpensive. But the room was like a little prison cell.

Very Noisy - Couldn't Sleep

We stayed downstairs in room 110 and we were hoping for a reasonable nights sleep before an early flight. We hardly got any sleep due to the noise in the reception area , a couple of blokes sharing a pizza and the bloke at reception talking loudly until 1am and the bloke at reception did nothing. I had to get half dressed and go out to the reception area to tell them to shut the f..K up the inconsiderate pr.ks. No consideration for guests at all. Not a geat start to a holiday. Very grumpy!
