Neat and tidy, walking distance to airport for able bodies. Cheap Uber ride for those who can not walk just under the kilometre. Perfect spot to grab a shower, refresh and put down your head before continuing the next leg of your journey.

Dear Deborah,Thank you for sharing the review of your stay with us.It is heartening to hear your appreciation for the cleanliness of our rooms and our strategic location just a short walk from the airport, ideal for travelers like yourself.While we are delighted that these aspects met your expectations, we regret if the amenities did not entirely enhance your experience. Our commitment to providing essential comfort at a budget-friendly price sometimes means that our offerings are more modest, but we ensure they are well-maintained and practical. We understand that our building's structure, notably the absence of an elevator, may not suit all preferences, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.Nevertheless, we are glad that you found our proximity to the airport to be convenient for your journey. At ibis budget Melbourne Airport, we are continuously aiming to provide a seamless and comfortable stay for our guests, and your insights are invaluable to us in this endeavor.It would be our pleasure to have you return on another occasion.

Very basic and hard to walk around between beds for an elderly person. Very clean and basic which was good as we were only there for less than a day just to sleep. It served its purpose and would use it again for convenience and access to the airport. Thank you

Dear Brendan,Thank you for taking the time to share your review.We regret to hear that the size of our rooms did not meet your expectations. As a budget hotel in close proximity to the airport, we strive to provide clean and efficient accommodations, and it appears that in this instance, we fell short of your expectations. Regarding the noise levels, we do offer earplugs and recommend quieter rooms on higher floors for a more peaceful stay. We are sorry to hear that the window in your room did not provide the view you anticipated. Our triple-glazed windows are designed to ensure a soundproof environment, contributing to the tranquility of our guests' stay. Lastly, we're saddened to learn that the hotel's condition did not live up to your standards. We take pride in maintaining our facilities and will review your comments with our team.We hope that you will allow us the opportunity of providing you with an improved stay in the future. Best regards,ibis Budget Melbourne Airport Team

The gentlemen at the service desk allowed me to heat up my wheat pack in the microwave, rather noisy at night time and hard to sleep
