Ibis budget is a budget hotel. The bathroom is very small. The room and bed is good sized. I stayed in a queen bedroom. I just wish the bathroom area is slightly bigger so i don't worry water will go outside the bathroom. Facilities are good. Staff when checking was friendly.
We enjoy staying here, very affordable. However, having to now pay for parking is a bad decision (reverse this decision NOW!), and there were clumps of hair in our bed. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay.
Hotel is conveniently located just off Northbourne Avenue, as you arrive in ACT. Ideal base for us to visit family & friends during our stay.
The room was very compact, however neat & tidy.
The bathroom is very small & didn't have a sink. My suggestion to improve the room would be to renovate the bathroom, to include a sink.
Otherwise all good.
Everything was amazing, the only thing that we didn't like was the fact that the room was quite small and the shower was small. The water kept going inside the bathroom floor. No lock on the bathroom door. The staff was super kind and amazing and it was very quiet. Overall we enjoyed it
Apart from being a budget room from bed to the wall very narrow, the bed was soft but too much soft and sloppy on the bottom part, Hips and back was so soar after a night sleep, need a new bed I guess. Tea and coffee re filled after two days thank you. Easy access from coming and leaving Canberra.
