ibis Melbourne Swanston Street

Good location near centre, clean rooms and nice Th

Pros: Location wise it was perfect for me. Tram station is right in front and you can easily access any part of the city. If you like walking then Central station and Bourke mall and centre is reachable within 15 to 20 minutes walk. Lygon street is also walking distance where you have plenty of really nice Italian restaurants. The hotel itself has an authentic Thai restaurant. Overall a good stay in this hotel. Staff was also amazing, especially there was a person in night Shift, Dean, he was really amazing. I am not an Ibis fan when it comes service, but this guy was really awesome. Ibis needs more of such people. Other staff were pretty cold and robotic but thats what I expect from any Ibis in any country.

Cons: Rooms are small. No closets, Iron and Ironing board is not provided in the room, you have to go down to the Laundry room to iron your cloths. Feels pretty awkward. If you don't have to spend some much time in the hotel, its perfect for you, you don't want to spend much time in the room except for sleeping. But I must say that it was one of the good Ibis hotels I have stayed and it did exceed my expectation. I would stay here again since it serves my purpose at a good price.

Pros: Great accommodations! Clean, functional, and pleasantly modern.

Cons: Our reservation through Kayak included a toiletry kit and wifi, but be aware that reservations in general at this hotel don't automatically include them.
