ibis Styles Kingsgate

The hotel was well located and very clean, but i probably woudn't rush back. It would suit those more on a budget. It is probably 1 stop up from hostel accommodation. That said, the staff were very nice and we did feel safe. It can get quite noisy on the weekend as we found out on our last night.

I had a few concerns when booking this property based on some of the reviews left by others. But since I only basic accommodations for my 2-night stay in Melbourne, I decided to give it a go. I was not disappointed. In fact, I was quite pleasantly surprised. Even though I arrived late morning, I was checked in by a professional and cordial staff member. My room was small, as expected, but it looked like it had been recently upgraded. Carpet and furnishings were in excellent shape. Paint appeared reasonably fresh. Bed was very comfortable. Small work desk was ample for my traveling laptop. Room and bath were both spotless. Shower delivered a strong sream of hot water. Room was quiet - did not have any issues with noise from other guest rooms or traffic in the hallways, even though the room was in close proximity to the elevator. Check-out was simple, quick, and handled professionally. Location is convenient (short walk) to various tram lines and Southern Cross railway station. There is a small Woolworth's (groceries) "metro" store and a chemist about a block away. Overall - hotel exceeded my expectations, especially for the price. I would return.

I stayed in a single room and, it was adequate for one person. Though there wasn't much drawer or hanging space, the room was clean. There was an iron, ironing board, TV, safe, kettle, bar fringe, tea, coffee, sugar and UHT milk. The single bed was firm and comfortable, although the pillows were very flat. A towel and bathmat is supplied and replaced daily but, on my last night, the replacement towel was ripped at the sides and ready to fall apart. The location is very convenient. It's just a short walk of a few minutes from Southern Cross Station and a tram stop is around the corner on Bourke St. There are restaurants, cafes and a Woolworths Metro nearby. The hotel is basic but, given the location, it's excellent value for the price and I'd definitely stay there again.

I arrived with an injured leg. The desk staff could not have been more helpful. the room was comfortable. the in house restaurant was closed, but the staff ensured that I got a meal, as I was unable to go out.

Was not expecting anything fantastic for the price we were paying, however was expecting the toilet roll holder and towel rack to be secured to the walls. Did not feel safe and room smelt stuffy and stale. Staff were friendly however next time will be paying extra for a reputable hotel.
