We had a two night stay in a junior suite. Great room with plenty of space and still suitable for my partner’s wheelchair. Staff were excellent at reception, Floyd’s bar and Pretty Boy. This hotel is very quiet and well located, short walk to shops, restaurants and China Town. After Pullman East Melbourne this is our favourite Accor hotel in Melbourne and usually at reasonable rates. Only let down was the breakfast, perhaps because it also caters to the Ibis guests. Stone cold eggs, no raisin toast and limited juice choices. It was included in our room due to our status but we didn’t bother on the second morning.

Enjoyable experience quick check in and check out. Clean room. Only criticism very hard mattress not at all comfortable would stop me staying more nights or again and bed small not very wide.

water pressure of shower is very low. A small rubbish was found on the ground at the corridor near the lift entrance at 31/F at 9am when I went out. It was still there when I return at 5 pm.

Maria D. L. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL

We always enjoy staying at Novotel and ibis Melbourne Central, but this stay was extra special as we were celebrating my partner’s birthday. The service was amazing from start to finish. We were kindly upgraded to a beautiful room, and when we arrived, there was a very sweet birthday card and a lovely gift waiting for my partner. Such a thoughtful touch that made the celebration even more special. The breakfast was excellent, the location is perfect, and the rooms were very clean and comfortable. Check-in and check-out were both quick and hassle-free. Thank you to the team for making our stay so memorable. We’ll definitely be booking again very soon! ❤️

Jorge A. Families - Confirmed reviews ALL

Great location and the property itself was nice enough but the service wasn't great. First, I got an email asking for my preferences (e.g. the aircon on upon arrival, room away from the lifts, etc.) but when we arrived, it was clear no one paid attention to my responses. A day before we arrived I asked what time we can check in if early check in were available. The response was that I had to pay an extra $250. I had to reply that I was a gold ALL member, but instead of inviting me to come at a specific time, I was told I had to be there and if there was a room, we could be accommodated. Clearly there was a room otherwise why would they try to charge me $250? Moving on, we opted for valet parking. The gentlemen who took our car lazily dragged our heavy luggage off our car instead of carefully lifting it, nearly scratching the vehicle. Then when we checked in, I was asked to pay extra because the extra night that came with my membership was only valid for a standard room, apparently. This was in no way comminicated when I signed up for ALL membership but in any case, I had already paid in full. The manager asked the front desk to get me to email proof of full payment, which I did so that was settled. On the last day, my card was charged for all costs incurred during the stay without my consent. I had a gc so this was another annoying issue. Anyway I had to check out so it got sorted then but clearly the lady wasn't trained how to as she had to figure out how to reverse part of the charge. It worked out in the end but all these small issues summed up to a poor experience. Perhaps if you advertised the property as a 3 stay hotel, I wouldn't have expected as much but you're marked as a 4.5 so I expected much more.

Chris B. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL

Very good location for our two night purpose. Clean and simple layout rooms. Could have done with a bathroom nightlight. Room smelt stale on entry so ran the shower for 5 minutes to clear drains. Our room heating was set to 21.6 and could not be changed so uncomfortable nights. Called guest services - no pickup. Called reception - no pickup. Headed out for the day. Next morning asked housekeeping and she tried to adjust and immediately said controls were faulty and she'd tell maintenance. Went out for day but was still not fixed. Reception had 3 desks but we only ever saw one lady dealing with handling a queue of clients each time we saw her.

Nathan R. M. J. Business - Confirmed reviews ALL

Hotel is perfect for location and is in great condition. Staff are attentive and welcoming. Two things pushed you to a 7. The lack of space for a working. The bar is not conducive to working and the showers. I know we should all do our best to conserve water but the pressure barely cleared the shower fixture. I had to lean against it to be under the water.

My recent stay at Novotel Ibis Melbourne Central was exceptional, largely thanks to the genuinely warm and welcoming atmosphere created by the staff. Exceptional Team: Every single interaction with the front office and concierge teams was a delight. They went above and beyond to make sure every detail of the stay was seamless and stress-free. Positive Culture: You can immediately sense how much the team genuinely enjoys working here. That authentic happiness and pride in their work shine through in their hospitality, making guests feel valued and right at home. Prime Location & Comfort: Beyond the incredible service, the property is impeccably maintained, comfortable, and perfectly located in the heart of Melbourne. I cannot recommend this hotel enough to anyone visiting Melbourne. A massive thank you to the entire front office and concierge team for making my stay so memorable! I look forward to returning soon.
