I wanted some no-frills airport transit accommodation after a midnite arrival from overseas. Ibis Budget delivered exactly what l needed at a price comparable to getting to and from the city if staying at a friend's place but without the cost, hassle and time of bus/taxi/transport. It exceeded my expectations with a few little touches like a kettle with tea, coffee and milk provided and actual drinking glasses rather than paper cups. Compact shower and toilet worked fine with great water pressure and generously sized towels. Clean comfy bed with numerous quality pillows and plenty of space in the room for luggage. Also, snack foods and drinks available in the lobby. A quick no-hassles check-in to my prepaid room and good soundproofing. Multiple power-points available for charging accessories. Highly recommended and l will be using this hotel again if l need overnight transit accommodation in Melbourne.

If being excessively picky, the location is a ten minute walk with a bit of navigation required across a couple of busy intersections. But, the route is clearly posted with regular direction signs along the way and easily accessible footpaths.

The hotel is super close and very walkable even with a big suitcase. Check in was a breeze and the desk clerk carried my suitcase up the stairs. The room was spotless and the sheets were crisp. There were enough clean towels and an extra blanket. It was perfect for what i needed which was a bed for the night. The free breakfast was better than expected and check out was simple.

Walking there though close is quite confusing you have to go around and under the overpass. There is no lift so be prepared to carry your big bag up because there won't always be a desk clerk that can help.

The bed was very comfortable, great shower. Fantastic breakfast set up and very nice staff

There's no lift and I had to carry my suitcases up a flight of stairs after a long flight from overseas (I'm 74). No offer of assistance from the young man at Reception. The place needs repainting throughout (there were painters there just starting, I think, so that's good). I know it's within walking distance to the airport which is great, but I thought $189 for one night was a bit much, should have been more like $100

Very convenient location, and easy walking distance from the international terminal even with two suitcases. The hotel messaged with directions on how to find them, and the way is clearly signposted. This was a godsend after a long haul flight. The room was clean and welcoming. The bed was very comfortable. The shower was clean and had great water pressure. Overall a good place to stay overnight after a late flight.

The coffee at breakfast wasn’t the best

The proximity to the airport was perfect. Less than 10 mins to walk from the terminals. It is a budget hotel, but it was clean and comfortable. For late arrivals, or early departures it was a bed, shower and somewhere to stay until the next leg of your journey.

Instructions to walk to the hotel were not as good as say other hotels at Melbourne Airport. If you are not familiar with the airport it does appear a little daunting making your way to the Hotel, especially late at night.

I loved that we could take the airport trolley and just walk our luggage to the hotel and in the morning we could just walk it back (our bag had a wonky wheel so this was very handy) .I was unsure about the twin beds to begin with but ended up having the best sleep (even though it was incredibly short due to the length of our stop over). The shower was a good temp and good water pressure

The room felt very pokey. It was a push to get myself around the end of the bed let alone luggage as well.

The ladies assisting during checkin & checkout were both wonderful. Both were Helpful and friendly. Sending thanks & praise their way. The bed was great, thank you for a wonderful sleep before I carried on with my journey.

Wouldve liked a slider or curtain or some sort of partitioning for the shower pod to minimise splash out to the toilet space but its not a big issue. Maybe a 2nd floor towel\mat would be handy ... One for inside the pod, one for when stepping into the room. Wouldve liked a power outlet beside the bed for my own convenience, but not a big deal at all, there were plenty of other power outlets to work with. Remote control for the tv should be added into a regular maintenance \ cleaning cycle, the one in my room was pretty grimey. Wouldve loved to have one of those luggage benches, so I wasnt opening up on the floor, but I do also understand its very limited space in the room so possibly not entirely practical.

clean and comfortable and convenient - short walk from airport - perfect for overnight stopover while waiting connecting flight. Late checkin available and quiet. Easy checkin

bed blankets very thin for winter weather - could have done with electric blanket or thicker duvet. No shower curtain in bathroom - difficult to not get everything wet. No lifts - bit difficult if have a lot of luggage to take up stairs.

Room was fine. It's Ibis Budget, you get what you pay for.

Left a hat and sunglasses in the room, by the time we realised, we were in Sydney. Rang the property and was told pick it up yourself or organise to be picked up. Wouldn't even send COD. Wouldn't have been a drama except it was a gift from my grandsons for Xmas. Very very poor after care, happy to take the $$$ when a flight is cancelled, but couldn't care less about you once you check out. 0/10 for follow up service.

Very close to the airport. For a guest and a small child the room was perfect. They had a cot already set up on arrival, and had the ground floor to save on walking up the stairs. For a late arrival, with a small child, it was a good place to stay before the next leg of the trip.

The walking distance was not a problem, however it could have had better signage to get to the hotel, especially after walking behind McDonalds late at night/early morning.
