Ibis Styles Melbourne Southbank ★★★
"The location felt a bit inconvenient to me. While it’s relatively close to some attractions, it’s still a bit of a walk to the Free Tram Zone, which makes it less ideal if you don’t want to rely on Uber. For travelers, buying a Myki card just to take trams or buses didn’t feel very worthwhile either. In terms of price, cleanliness, and overall vibe, the hotel was pretty good. The lobby and common areas had a modern, stylish feel, and the room itself was kept clean. However, in my room there was a large door next to the bed that couldn’t be opened, but I could still feel the draft and hear quite a lot of wind noise coming through. The room size was surprisingly small for the price point. I was a bit shocked at how compact it was when I first walked in. The bathroom and shower area also seemed poorly designed—if you opened the doors the wrong way, they could easily hit each other, which didn’t feel very safe. I didn’t use the parking or breakfast options, so I can’t comment on those. Overall, it’s a decent place for a short stay, but if you’re looking for spacious rooms or a super convenient location, it might fall short."
