As usual at Australian branches of Ibis Budget hotels, this place was pretty much what you pay for and no less. Clean, comfortable, quiet enough, everything works properly, but basic - more or less pod-rooms with no frills or extra space. Very convenient location to both train stations, the Vic market, Chinatown, etc. I've stayed in cheap hotels quite a... More

I was really impressed with this hotel. It's one of the cheapest options, yet offers a super location - 3 mins walk from Flinders Street Station. Rooms are clean, were serviced daily and the hotel was secure and modern. Staff on reception were consistently far more helpful and friendly than expected for a budget hotel. We stayed in a 4...

Great place to stay - right in the centre of town - easy to get to from any incoming point, and great access to the Melbourne nightlife! The rooms are small, but have everything you need - a comfy bed, and toilet, shower and sink and a TV. The only thing I missed was a bar fridge and kettle in... More

Having eventually located this hotel under F1 my review follows. Great location, great price, great bed - what more can you ask for? Kitchen facilities better than most F1/IB with tons of fridge space, ample supply of tea bags, milk, sugar, cutlery. With a Food Works just outside, Pie Face a block away, it makes for a truly economy stay.... More

Rooms small but comfortable, no tea/coffee making facilities in rooms or plates etc, but supermarket, Subway & coffee shops nearby.

Clean room, quiet spacious for couple coz our room located in the corner. However some of the towels as rough as sand paper...even some the towels are still in good condition. The hotel is located in the middle of city, 7-10 mins walk to flinder station. Easy access to go ard the city. Around 20 mins walk to victoria market

The room was minimal, just a bed, a toilet and a shower. Had a TV available and an Air Conditioner, not much to say, but for what me and my brother needed it was absolutely perfect. Very cheap, in a fantastic location, you literally walk out onto the main street where all the action is. Perfect for what we needed.

Simple rooms, yes, with no tea/coffee facilities - Hudsons opposite. Staff very friendly. Fantastic central location - easy to get to from Spencer Street railway station. Easy walk to all CBD attractions/hospitals. Have stayed here before, and have never had a problem.
