I found the staff great and the location is just right. It is just a short walk to Airport . If you need to buy food, it can be found at many good eating places at airport also there are fast food outlets close by. Hot and cold drinks can be purchased at the Ibis. Again, it is a good... More

Within walking distance from airport terminal. Near service centre. Good for overnight at airport. Easy self check-in for mid night arrival. Vending machine is available. No free WIFI - need to pay. Room is clean but small. Enough for 3 persons.

I have stayed at this hotel several times. The rooms are small and basic but cleean and close to the airport terminals. It would be nice to have tea/coffee making facilities in the room but for the price I wouldn't complain.

Small room with basic amenities, image a shower like you would find on a train! Small cell like window! Couldn't even make a cup of tea in your room. It wasn't a budget price. So what advantage is there for staying here, well if you have an early departure or very late arrival and you just want a bed, then... More

If you plan to spend a night at Melbourne airport, the Ibis Budget is a reasonable option. However, you get what you pay for! This hotel is the definition of "budget". The guy at reception was efficient, if not exactly welcoming. Our room was small, sparsely furnished, but clean enough. The queen size bed was comfortable and the sheets certainly... More

If you can put up with the smell of cigars, the total lack of any services and matchbox rooms, this is the place for you. Oh if you have an early flight, I.e before 8.00 am don't order breakfast it doesn't appear before 7.00 am.

What is the saying "you get what you pay for". It is a hell of a lot cheaper than the holiday inn or the park royal if your plan is to stay overnight in readiness for an early flight the next morning. I could whinge about the lack of a lift - carrying suitcases up two flights of stairs. I... More

Stayed here overnight with my husband before flying on to New Zealand. It's basic, yes, but it's generally clean (couple of finger print marks on the underside of the bunk bed that were noticeable when I went to lie down, but otherwise not too bad). We found the place ok, after being pointed out in the general direction from someone... More

We chose this hotel as we were en-route to New Zealand from Adelaide. whilst the hotel itself was clean and comfortable and the staff friendly, there was insufficient signage from the Airport to the hotel itself. As there is no shuttle service, we had to manage suitcases and bags in the dark across Main Roads with no indication of how... More
