Average 2.5 -3 star budget hotel. Rooms are basic but clean. Storage of bags was a problem as the baggage room is very small with no security.

100 metres to Victoria Markets. Trams only a block away.

Buffet breakfast was good but basic.

Good value for money budget hotel in the heart of Melbourne.

We arrived in Melbourne about 8pm and the taxi driver hadn't heard of the Ibis and struggled to use his satnav. It is a bit out of the way and we had to walk some way to find something to eat (take-away) at 10pm on first night. We were put in double room although I had asked for twin beds. Staff immediately changed room to twin bedded without problem. Also,reception staff helpfully checked in our next flight on line. Overall, a good, clean, standard hotel. Pleasant eating by Yarra river in the evening. Enjoyable trip down Great Ocean Rd-beautiful and not at all crowded in Spring although gather it is bumper to bumper in Summer. Watch out for the helicopter rides offered at Port Campbell;an F111 jet shot very close by us-hadn't notified the leisure rides people that they were flying in that area. Unnerving to say the least.
Would just mention that when you book with agents like Asiarooms, they tend to list every attraction in the city as near to your hotel, rather than stating exactly what is near chosen hotel. Hence we had thought we were nearer centre. Not hotel's fault though.

Hotel is located at the top end of Queens road and close the Queen Victoria markets which run on Sundays, we had a 2 bedroom apartment which was hotel style apartment so no kitchen just tea and coffee,fridge etc no cooking, no laundry. Very basic and as we are a family of 5 we stayed around 5 nights and could of really used a hotel with self catering services. Hotel and rooms were tidy and clean.

Restaurant onsite with awesome breakfast well worth the money...

Over all good priced hotel for short stays.

Family stayed here in AUG 07 (3A + 2C) in a two bedroom room. Enough space to spread out and very clean. Location was a big plus with trams located one block away. there was a large group booking at the hotel at the same time but no significant noise or waitimes. Staff on desk were very pleasant and helpful. Room also has microwave and sink. only slight issue was that bathroom was beging to age but water was hot and plenty as all five had showers and no loss in pressure etc. Would recommend for a family to base in MELB. Save money and spend on shopping.
