ibis budget Melbourne CBD 3 sterren

Will never return. The only good things about this hotel was the water pressure in the tiny shower, and the pancakes were ok - when the machine worked which it didn’t two days if our stay. I spilt chocolate milk on my bed (I have Tourette’s syndrome, was not on purpose). Left the bed visibly unmade and stain visible. Came back from first day out to find the bed made - covering up my stains and not changed. That night accidentally spilt tea on the other single bed - came back to the same thing (we left both beds unmade with stain visible). The bathroom is a joke! Toilet is narrow, no ventilation in the room either. The toilet room has an opening into the shower at the roof, so nothing contained. The shower has a frosted glass door (about 1x1 meter) that opens to a basin and mirror and the best part - a shower curtain between you and the room. You get one towel per bed and only one bath mat, no hand towel and no cutlery/plates etc. There is one table, one chair, one power point with two plugs (so bring a double adapter and an extension cord as it’s under the over sized tv). When cleaning out the room, staff went through and threw out our things (or took them idk) - who’s place it if there’s to decide if I’ve finished with my beauty products that are in their packets or not (I believe that was meant to be my choice and the packet was with other things that where not removed). There is one hook (I think it’s a hook) in the toilet door on the inside, but unless the door is open you can’t use it. Breakfast was very simple, had to ask for bread/ butter/ syrup/ milk etc as it wasn’t monitored. It doesn’t cater to all nationalities, doesn’t need to be huge, but offer some savoury options. I asked and got vegemite one day, the next was told they didn’t have it and never did and I must have been mistaken they have never had it………. The walls are dirty and damaged (especially the corners everywhere, not just plaster missing but metal showing). The place was very run down and very disappointing. The place was not welcoming looking, I’ve stayed in backpackers that cost me under $20 a night and where far nicer.

We stayed for two nights over two weekends. Our first room was 520 - which was not great. The shower was separated from the beds by only a curtain. The toilet was in a "separate" room but was not ventilated in a way that would avoid "contamination". The beds were comfy, however, and we were very pleased with the location and the easy access to theatres, shops etc. Our second stay was in room 214, which was much nicer in that the shower and toilet were separated adequately. We enjoyed breakfast on all mornings of our stay, which was very basic (toast, cereal, juice and pancakes). While we enjoyed the toast and cereal options - albeit, those too are limited - the pancake machine was unfortunately broken on both our stays. All in all, you get what you pay for - and the price for Melbourne is super cheap.

Geen daglicht, geen raam, weinig frisse lucht

Locatie is het beste aspect van deze kamer; recht in het centrum! Verder waren de bedden comfortabel maar de douche wat klein. Helaas was er geen raam waar je doorheen kon kijken, maar het is natuurlijk wel een budget hotel. Eigenlijk gewoon een goede prijs-kwaliteit verhouding en prima kamer om een nachtje te verblijven.

Uitstekende locatie. Overal midden tussenin en op loopafstand van alles, inclusief winkelen in Bourke Street en ontbijt bij Degraves Lane. Kamer mist voorzieningen zoals bekers en waterkoker. We kregen de tweede keer een veel kleinere familiekamer. Kachel was luidruchtig 's nachts. Kon geen enkele nooduitgang vinden. Internet was 1 AUD per 10 minuten, plus extra voor printen. Eenvoudig, maar voor de prijs die we betaalden, zou ik zeggen dat het een vrij goede deal was.
