ibis budget Canberra

This motel is very basic, which was to be expected from a budget hotel, but the main problem was that I didn't feel safe there. Every time I came into the car park there was a guy standing there ready to approach the car. He looked like he was dealing and/or soliciting from the hotel. He was also hanging around the supposedly secure $5 a night guest parking area and going in and out a fire door that didn't shut properly. My bedding appeared clean, but the bathroom and air-conditioning unit was filthy and the hallways smelt like a public toilet. The step up and down from the cruise ship style bathroom was very draining after a few visits, not to mention claustrophobic. The elderly should definitely avoid. I wouldn't stay there again, or recommend it to anyone who is not seeking a rent by the hour style accomodation.

It is close to the place I was meeting people.

Room was clean but outside area passage was dirty and smelt staff very friendly also older people need to be made aware of the step up into toilet and shower a d how small the area is as large people would find difficult

Bed very hard and squeaked with the slightest movement and overhead bunk was dangerous height for getting in and out of queen bed . Bathroom was tiny and the step up into it was high. Wash basin was badly cracked and nowhere near the bathroom . Would definitely not stay there again and would advise others against it .

Yes lovely

Room clan. Staff nice. Bed hard. Pillows terrible (but mist hotels are). Got ripped off with one day breakfast not being available as it was still shuttered up afyer the 7am time i was advised it opened. Overall ok fir the price paid.

Friendly staff, great amenities, great location

The Room had weird smells and there were stains on our sheets.

Yes

Rooms. Dated.

Staff were friendly and helpful.

Convenient location and well priced. Tidy condition

We didn’t expect much due to the low price, and it matched our expectations.

Amenities, they charge for parking where as there is no barrier or anything. its on isolated place and lots of free parking is on the street. Old aircon with no remote. Shower and toilet are together and its very small area if you take shower all the floor area including toilet gets wet.

Stayed 5 nights, room serviced only once despite request to GM to service on morning of 4th day, which he wrote down but was ignored (room 201). Numerous alive & dead insects in our room from day one, although we never opened the window. Two giant live moths on hallway wall outside our room from day one, one had defecated & it was visibly running down the wall. Toilet seat loose from day one. TV almost unwatchable as very dark picture & we couldn’t seem to adjust it. Paid parking yet same furniture truck parked there every night -perhaps a local as another same company truck parked nearby. Minibuses & coaches permitted to park along fence line near entry, which made reversing out difficult. Suggest GM do regular inspections of premises, including 2nd floor. As fairly regular clients, we were very disappointed on this occasion & we doubt we’ll stay here again.

No lifts only stair cases rude front desk attendant mold on room roof air conditioner had a very moldy smell if used so wasn’t, window can open but a bit and no fly screens a hop up into toilet shower cubical and half flush didn’t even work don’t forget the drop into room when exiting toilet oh and don’t forget the extra 5 dollar parking fee open air honestly will never go there again. Plus was there with my daughter but the filthy look said otherwise. Always watch that wood strip when you enter your room major trip hazards as it can catch your footing. If the lip on the stairs don’t get you before hand with the lip on each stair step preventing your suit case to glide up easier. To be honest just thought male attendant was rude at front desk and no you can site my id but not handing it to you. But to be honest he was probably the best thing the hotel needs upgrades and honestly were to begin one making it safe especially for the older people I saw staying there unsure how they would of even managed on a lower level if they had the amenities we had on the second level.

Asked me to leave straight away as they said I was smoking. I literally just arrived and never smoked and the room had zero smell of smoke. No refund issued from a 5 minute stay. Worst hotel experience I've ever had.

The room smelled liked cigarette smoke. House keeping cleaned the room and took all the towels and didn’t replace them. Air conditioning/heating very loud needs an update, bathroom very small and no window. TV needs updating. Front reception needs updating. The whole place needs a revamp. The front door after 10pm is supposed to be locked and only accessible with a room key but it was opening without so zero security. Budget is 100% accurate. Staff were nice but seems like no organisation or structure.

We were after a low cosr night's accommodation and this property ticked all the boxes. Dont stay here if you want 4 star luxury, but we had a good night and will stay there again in the future.
