It was ibis 8 years ago, and the signs in the room have not changed. The internal facilities are very complete and the lobby is large. The hotel is opposite the University of Melbourne, about 1 km from the city center, and Carlton Gardens is nearby.

Great location. Right in the heart of the city. If you like to walk it takes 15-20 minutes to get to everything in the city. Staff are very helpful and polite. Access to washing machine and dryer for 5 dollars. Also gym has decent cardio equipment and cable machine plus free weights. Rooms are cleaned everyday. Will definitely recommend.

The overall feeling is good in all aspects. The only small flaw is that it is a little far to walk to the free bus area to catch the bus.

The cleanliness was a little dusty, but within the acceptable range. The bed is not made unless you ask, but I don't usually need it, so it was no problem for me. However, I only wanted the towels changed, so I wish it was a little easier to change them. It was a little troublesome that I had to ask at the reception. It's a little far from the station, but since I was staying for a long time, it was very good that there was a laundry room. Maybe it's because it doubles as a student dormitory. I was impressed by the sight of students happily playing billiards at night and studying hard. Next time, I'll use it when I have less luggage! (lol) Thank you very much.
