Dear Brendan,Thank you for taking the time to share your review.We regret to hear that the size of our rooms did not meet your expectations. As a budget hotel in close proximity to the airport, we strive to provide clean and efficient accommodations, and it appears that in this instance, we fell short of your expectations. Regarding the noise levels, we do offer earplugs and recommend quieter rooms on higher floors for a more peaceful stay. We are sorry to hear that the window in your room did not provide the view you anticipated. Our triple-glazed windows are designed to ensure a soundproof environment, contributing to the tranquility of our guests' stay. Lastly, we're saddened to learn that the hotel's condition did not live up to your standards. We take pride in maintaining our facilities and will review your comments with our team.We hope that you will allow us the opportunity of providing you with an improved stay in the future. Best regards,ibis Budget Melbourne Airport Team

The gentlemen at the service desk allowed me to heat up my wheat pack in the microwave, rather noisy at night time and hard to sleep

Receptionist was helpful in offering me a ground floor room after noting my age and the size of my suitcase, as there is no lift at the hotel.

Having to carry a heavy suitcase up a flight of stairs, a property that does not have a lift. Bathroom cubicle is very confining. This building needs to be pulled down. Expensive for such a poor property

Dear Carmel,Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us.We're truly glad that you appreciated the cleanliness of our hotel. Our team works hard to maintain our high standards of hygiene and it's rewarding to hear that our efforts have been noticed. We understand that our hotel's architecture and the absence of an elevator can be an inconvenience for some of our guests. We strive to assist where possible and regret any difficulty you faced with the stairs. It's also disheartening to hear your thoughts on our bathroom design. We acknowledge that our compact, pod-style bathrooms may not be to everyone's taste, but they are a part of our budget-friendly accommodation offering. We're committed to providing value for our guests through competitive pricing and we're sorry to hear that you found the cost to be high. We take pride in offering a range of amenities such as air conditioning, mini refrigerators in the rooms, and a continental breakfast included with the stay, all aimed at enhancing our guests' experiences within the constraints of a budget establishment.We hope we can provide you with an improved stay in the future.Kind regards,ibis Budget Melbourne Airport Team
