Ibis Styles Kingsgate Hotel

This place only offers one wash for hands, body, and hair. The smell when you open the door is strange and definitely not a pleasant scent. You wouldn’t expect much more from here when you notice quilting like picture, but the location is good.

I recently stayed at Ibis Styles Kingsgate in Melbourne for a few nights, and my experience was a mix of positives and disappointments. The hotel is in a great location in the CBD, just a short walk from Southern Cross Station, which made getting there from the airport easy via SkyBus. Trams are also nearby, so getting around the city was no hassle. The single room I booked was compact but functional. The decor was simple, and the bed was comfortable enough for a budget stay. However, I had some issues with the cleanliness and condition of the furnishings. The room felt a little outdated, and the bed linen had visible wear and tear. Housekeeping was not up to standard, and I even encountered damaged bedding with exposed stuffing, which was quite off-putting. While the staff were friendly when approached, the overall maintenance of the hotel definitely needs improvement. One of the nicer aspects of the hotel was the common areas. The lounge had a cozy atmosphere, with bookshelves and warm lighting that gave off a heritage-style charm, which was a contrast to the actual room experience. The facilities were basic, but for a budget stay, they were acceptable. The price was reasonable for a centrally located hotel, but considering the issues with cleanliness and room upkeep, I expected better. It’s an okay option if you’re after an affordable place to stay in the city, but be prepared for some compromises. If they improved their maintenance and housekeeping, it would be a much better value-for-money choice.

Nice location easy to catch tram and train. Clean and well maintained hotel. Will be back again.

Travelled with my mother and we had 2 single beds. Could not access the safe easily as bed covered the door. The room was so small, and noisy as our room backed on to a vented area with some sort of motor that ran all night. The water was hot which was great.

It Is a good place for traveler.

It is a normal hotel, with a very good location right down town Melbourne, I would recommend this hotel for solo travelers who are not going to stay too much in the hotel room because it doesn’t have views were I stayed on floor 1, the bathroom is very small and the shower can be slippery, it has a small gym, common area for guests, vending food machines and a terrace for people who smoke.
