Was surprised and delighted that breakfast was provided. It was perfect for me. We were hesitant about the restaurant menu, but in fact the ambiance, staff and service, and food were very, very good. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

ibis Melbourne Central, hotel in Melbourne

Conveniently situated in the heart of Melbourne CBD (Central Business District), ibis Melbourne Central features an on-site restaurant, cafe, bar, fitness centre and conference facilities.

The room was nice, simple, clean. The amenities were a little below expectations though. For example, there was no waste bin in the room, There was an empty storage box under the bench/sink but there was no liner in it so I assume it was more for storage. The shower had shampoo and a shampoo-body wash on the wall instead of a conditioner which I assumed if they had one they'd have the other? Location was good, elevator on the left takes you to Ibis. Self check-in, I personally had some issue as I booked right before I came in, but the kind staff just next door helped check me in and also upgraded me to a queen free of charge which was nice, I'm not sure the reason, perhaps I booked same time as another, but it was a nice gesture. Bed was nice, actual queen, not 2 beds pushed together.

    City Centre Budget Hotel met all of our needs! We were spending a night here just to explore the city. The location was perfect, so close to Parliament Station and the free inner city Tram. A great location for China Town, restaurants, the gardens and the theatres. The actual hotel was clean, easy, and exceed expectations for the price. It's basic, but practical. All the other guests were of a similar age (late 20's, early 30's) and everyone was lovely. Minimal street noise of a night too as it's tucked away on a alley street.

    This is a budget hotel - do not book if you are expecting fancy decor. It is a quirky old building, however it was clean, bed was comfortable, bathroom adequate, aircon worked well, breakfast was ample and included in cost. (cereals, toasts, fruit, eggs, bacon, sausage, tea, coffee, juice) Staff friendly, snagged free parking and location is great- bus, tram, train nearby. We will stay here again.
