Find 3-Star Hotels in Melbourne

I booked this room with concerns because we had a brother/sister pair and the pictures showed WC and shower that had only frosted glass for privacy - something I really don’t get and seems to be some new fad in hotels nowadays, not just Ibis Melbourne Central. But glad that the staff were able to secure a room with privacy doors ahead of our stay.

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 The room felt a little outdated, and the bed linen had visible wear and tear.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.

Everything was fantastic. The location was only a three minute walk to Southern Cross Station which was why I chose Best Western. The room was spacious and very comfortable. Best of all it was very quiet for the middle of Melbourne. Close to great food places. Had 3 meals from the Bahn Me place just around the corner in Flinders Lane. Very good. Close to everywhere. Only a 15 min walk to Bourke Street Mall. Staff were very helpful. I needed a photocopy of boarding passes for flights within my next destination India and the staff said that was no problem. Very happy. Will definitely recommend to family and friends.

Great hostel, lots of activities and social group outings. Located very close to the Markets and Melbourne CBD with the free Tram zone so easy to get around with plenty to do. I had a larger room but my friends had really small rooms that would be the only negative. Great roof top space for evening views and socialising with hot tub. The best hostel kitchen I've stayed in and have travelled the east coast and Western Australia. So many stations, great number of quality equipment and lots of space for food although fridges are always full np matter where you go. Really happy with this stay.

The room is old. The toilet bowl doesn’t have lid. I have doubt on the hygiene as the dirty toilet water will spread over when flushing. The washroom is very big but doesn’t seem to be useful. The aircon has dust. The lift is for both guest and garbage use. There was some bad smell. On the day of check out, there was broken glass on the floor of the corridor at the entrance. The location is excellent. Anyway I will not stay in this hotel again.

The location was very strategic, near to Victoria Market, tram station, convenience stores. The receptionist was very friendly and helpful. The room was nice. Overall great experience!

Excellent Location in the downtown, just in Collins St, close to everything, information center, museum, library, AO center, railway station, free tram to the skybus to the airport Clean room though a bit small in the case of twin room

By far the best hostel I have stayed at so far in Australia. A few minor things that could be improved: 1. Although the toilets are cleaned several times a day, the job wasn't done thoroughly. Even after cleaning there is still a lot of hair to be found on the floor. 2. The main public area which is the kitchen is very small and crowded. Noisy too as loud music is being played most of the time. I could see the hostel put few seats in front of the elevator on each floor to compensate for that. Good effort. Thank you. This hostel would be my top choice now.

It was right in the middle of everything. Nice room and clean! Issue was we stayed over on a saturday night and was very noisy because of the club beside from 9pm till morning. I did not know about it until I got to the hotel. It is mentioned on their website anyhow.

Open area is spacious. Kitchen is spacious but no where available in fridge. No hairdryer provided in room, ID card is required as guarantee if you borrow it at reception. The toilet is small, no space for toiletries, not even a hook. The toilet has some bad odour. There was dripping right at the ceiling above the toilet bowl, I reported to the staff, they promised to follow up yet no one did that before I check out. I have to tolerate the dripping during my whole stay.
