Get What You Pay For
It’s called the ibis Budget Melbourne CBD, so never expected 5-stars but they truly embrace the idea of budget. Breakfast was incredibly basic with limited hours, service was always polite and friendly but just disinterested enough to leave you feeling meh, stained curtains, comforter, no real amenities… Location was AMAZING and it’s not that I wouldn’t recommend it, but a little effort goes a long way.

Disappointing and lovely view outside window.
Worse than expected. They do let people check in earlier. Strange people staying there. Corridor has no window. Exit and entrance on first floor.

The Ibis was a convenient stay if you need to be in the CBD or need transport connections to surrounding suburbs. Most staff were very pleasant and helpful- especially the lady at reception upon my checking out.
They have a fantastic vending machine with snacks if you’re peckish- and looking for something to eat which is convenient. However the breakfast in the morning was quite simply inadequate and very poorly conducted. I arrived more than an hour before it was due to finish to find disarray and mess everywhere. No cutlery or napkins available- I had to ask a staff member for them. The food available was insufficient and quite poor in quality. Toast (no juice) a pancake machine which had to be refilled with batter because it had run out- and we were standing there wondering why it wasn’t working- yet there was nobody to assist. If you are going to specify a breakfast time- please make sure it runs entirely through that time- and that adequate food is available. If I had gotten there fifteen minutes before finishing- I’d understand- but I was there from 830am an hour to go- and still- it was messy, unhygienic and under resourced. If you go as far as providing muesli- some yogurt and fruit would have also been appreciated, but there was none. I was considering going into the city to pay $25 for a breakfast I could actually eat. The room was adequate for an overnight stay- but the bed light wasn’t working- and neither was the TV remote. Not the best stay here.

Do not stay here.
I travel for work every week and I can say without a doubt this is the worst hotel I have ever stayed at. The room was $239 but I wouldn't go back if it was free. Room is tiny, lock on door didn't really work so felt unsafe, toilet and shower basically in the room and bed was so uncomfortable. The only positive was the women at the front desk was fantastic and super helpful. There are other far better budget friendly options in Melbourne.
