Staff was nice we arrived before check in time and they let us check in early because the room is ready. Maybe they just renovated still can smell color from the walkway. Overall was good! Thank you. :)

Very quick to check in.
Room was more than adequate for our nights stay and super easy to find dinner nearby and to Walk along the river at night was just a short walk away.
Having to pay extra for breakfast supplement (prebooked continental breakfast) was a bit surprising but only $6pp so ok. Checkout And getting deposit returned was easy.(Although not exactly sure what deposit was for since there was nothing in the room to take & had to pay cash for breakfast supplement.)
Response from Property: Hi there,Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad to hear that you found the check-in process quick and the room suitable for your stay. It’s great that you enjoyed the nearby dining options and took advantage of the lovely riverside walk!Regarding the deposit, it is intended to cover any extras or incidentals during your stay, such as breakfast, parking, or room extensions. We appreciate your understanding, and we’re pleased to hear that the breakfast supplement was reasonable. Just so you know, breakfast charges can also be put on your room and settled at check-out for your convenience.If you have any further questions or need assistance during your next visit, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!Warm regards,ibis Styles Kingsgate Hotel

It's a good hotel for a quick night's sleep due to late night arrivals. Facilities are lagging. Staff are friendly.

Good service, great location within CBD, close to Southern Cross and Flinders stations, within free tram zone too. The bed was comfie enough, room small, dated and needed a lick of paint and fridge really noisy. Even at 5 storeys up you can hear traffic, especially sirens. BUT, I wouldn't let that put you off, IF you simply need an affordable base to go explore etc.
Response from Property: Hi there,Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to learn about the noise issues and the condition of the room. Your comments are valuable, and we'll be sure to address them to improve our guest experience.We’re glad our place served as a good base for your explorations in Melbourne, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with an even better stay next time.

5 mins walk to Southern Cross Station, where bus to Melbourne Airport at 15 mins(?) interval. Another 15 mins walk (or less when using the free Melbourne tram) to the heart of city centre. Basic hotel for basic traveller.
