ibis Melbourne Central

8/10 Good

"Love the water refill station, keeps me hydrated while walking around the CBD. Shopping mall is close. About a 10 min walk depending how fast you walk haha. Loved the breakfast Buffett, love my OJ. Vegetarian and vegan options. I wish there were strawberries for breakfast. All my 5 mornings didn’t have it available, something minor but I would’ve loved breakfast even more. I had a vegan Mediterranean pasta for dinner. Delicious. I had a 5 other friends that went to the hotel and we were discussing about the beds. Clean, but the beds were harder than I’m used to. People who prefer softer beds would not be a fan of these beds. Staff made check in easy, I landed around 11pm and head to the hotel right before midnight. There was one worker by himself helping a couple of guests. I was still in line and a 2nd worker came through and helped me. I appreciate that. Thank you for having me at your hotel. This was my 1st time in AUS and I’m already wanting to come back. See you guys next year! -Royce"
