There is no lift at this hotel. The hotel has three levels. It reminded me of staying in a youth hostel. Hopefully we won’t need to stay here again. The young male receptionist was nice. The hotel is a short walk to Melbourne Airport and McDonalds.

The property is really close to the airport. It was the least expensive this close to the airport. I felt safe. But as it states in the name "budget", well it sure is on their end. Beds are uncomfortable. Room had no class. Only 2 outlets for charging phones in inconvenient areas. No tissues, shampoo or conditioner. Just a bed and a tiny TV for $175 per night. I remember when a rooms like this were only $29.90.

Confused Ibis Budget with the other Ibis brand (map on Hotels.com site confusing). Budget property is a 20 minute walk with luggage to T4. No taxi's are handy, as they are all leaving the airport at this location. Staying here is a big mistake if you have a flight to catch.

Serves a purpose, as a brief overnight between flights. It’s inexpensive. But the room was like a little prison cell.
