Ibis Melbourne Central has an amazing location! It's super close to Melbourne Central and just a short walk to Chinatown, making transport and dining options top-notch. The environment is clean and tidy, offering excellent value for money. The only downside is that the room is a bit small, but for this price in the CBD, it's totally worth it. Highly recommend!

The hotel was unexpectedly clean! The only drawback is the size of the room, which is quite small for two people.

I stayed one night here for transit. The location is great for airport bus users. I saw an strange person at the checkin desk. He was not hotel staff, but he was speaking to me unconfortable words.

Very great location, not too far from Southern Cross. If you're carrying luggage be aware there are stairs leading up to the entrance.
Check in was really easy. We were there 30 minutes before our check in time but we were able to get in straight away. All we needed to show was proof of ID. Staff were very friendly.
Room was nice and clean however no proper window looking outside which was a shame.
There are complementary coffee and tea and milk packets.
Stayed for one night only but would visit again.

Very convenient. Airport skybus southern cross terminal only few min walk away. Can walk to all the main sights easily. Single room is a bit small but adequate. Only downside is you have to lug luggage up some stairs to reception

Room was clean and comfortable. Pleased that our room and bed sizes got upgraded as there was one available. Staff were friendly and helpful. Location is great and very close to the station, restaurants and shopping mall.
Little gym has the essentials for fitness which I was able to make use of. Only complaint was the buffet breakfast - very average if not poor quality. Fruit salad didn’t look fresh, hash browns looked over cooked and dry. Most food seemed as it had simply been taken out of packets or the fridge and served straight away, with no preparation behind it.
However for what was paid, we did get our money’s worth.

Not recommend for light sleeper like me. Not sure how many times I woke up it was too noisy. The pub/club nearby blast the music till 3 in the morning. Luckily I only stay there for a night. Apart from that I will give 5 star for the location and the price.

This hotel is really close to Southern Cross Station and there's really friendly reception. The room is really clean with all the necessities. There's laundry, gym, Cafe and a small library on level 1 (I didn't use them as I am away for the whole day)
I choose this place as I am aware I will be travelling with two suitcases by myself so this location is perfect for me. I don't have to go through all the trouble of dragging my luggages on to the tram or using Uber since it's only few minutes walk from the station.

My stay here is great and the location is good, within short walking distance from Southern Cross Station. The room size has sufficient space to opening up the luggage lay flat and still able to walk around.
