Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Ibis Melbourne Central enjoys a fantastic location in the heart of the CBD, steps away from Melbourne Central station, free trams, and a variety of shops and restaurants. Many guests find the rooms modern and well-organized, and have been impressed by the spaciousness of even the 'Compact' rooms, the very comfortable beds, and the big screen TVs. While some guests have found the room design unusual, particularly the placement of the sink, the hotel offers excellent access to the city and often good value.

Fantastic Stay!

The location was very nice. Everything was super accessible! I enjoyed the super accommodating staff. They always greeted me. Check-in was easy too!
The room felt so small. There was no desk for working! It was tricky to comfortably set up my laptop for a quick online meeting.

The hotel had a supermarket next door. Tram stops were very close. The room had a firm bed. The room was clean too.
The check in area was confusing. Novotel shared the same lobby. This added confusion.

Breakfast offered a rich buffet. It provided something for every taste. The café is open early and closes late, awesome for flexible dining options, ensuring that guests can find suitable dining arrangements.

the location is very good. i could walk to many shops and the state library. there are many restaurants and cafes nearby. the room was clean and i saw a nice gym.
the bathroom was very small. the sink was actually in the bedroom. there were no glasses in the room for water. the self check in process is not good. the terminal faces reception, so anyone can see your details.
