ibis budget Fawkner

Good short term stay

Easy access to freeway and shopping centre for quick stays

Good

The staff were absolutely lovely and the property, while a decent walk from Gowrie train station, was easy access into Melbourne and ideal for our event at the Marvel Stadium. Trains are frequent and cheap - you do need to buy a myki card tho (we got ours at the airport). Accommodation is more like student halls or a backpackers/hostel (albeit with own rooms and bathroom facilities). Incredibly basic but acceptable for the cost and our one night stay. We were on the ground floor but had little to no noise (the main noise was the aircon - nothing Loop earplugs can’t cancel out!) and the rooms were secure - with grilles on the downstairs windows and a blackout shade (slightly ripped). We did worry about walking around at midnight after our event, but we needn’t have - it’s on a busy road and well lit. The area is a bit run down but well serviced with food places and supermarkets in walking distance. The hotel has a kitchen and laundry, if you have the need. Overall we were really happy despite it being an incredibly basic accommodation.

There is mold on the walls in the room. No towel bars to dry your wet towels. The shower and toilet area is smaller than a cruise ship. No elevator Overall the building does not exude safety.

Just awful experience, tried to get in touch as we were arriving after 12 midnight. No reply, Expedia aldo tried and no joy. Ended up booking somewhere else at further cost .. have tried but unable to get refund. Dont stay here

Could hear doors slamming all night. Noise around fridge Hardly slept all night

The room was small but very clean. Nice towels, tea, coffee etc. Bistro, wine outlet within half a block, could see Coles and McDonalds from our window.

Good hotel for a stay where you just need a bed, no elevator so if you have a big suitcase you’ll have to carry them up the stairs but very comfortable bed and nice and clean rooms.

The hotel is very convenient and good for a short stay. A bit dissapointed when they assigned an unclean room to us.

We checked in and checked out after 2 hours, after booking another accommodation. The toilet in the room as well as the entire room was stinking of urine, the stench was unbearable. However the gentleman at the reception was very kind and polite and we agreed that i would pay for the 1st day (it was supposed to be a 10 day stay) and the remaining days would be refunded. And expedia staff assisted with the refund, which i have received.

Place was old and very small, strange raised bathroom cubicle. They have cleaned the room but because of the age it is dirty around the edges.

This is suitable for a night stay! Good location

Cleanliness ,cheap and also the staff are friendly

Bugs flying around room, off food smell, side of the bed had been cut open

Broken window. The windows appeared to be sealed with tissue. It seems someone tying to stop the noise from outside by blocking it. I tried to lock tight the windows to stop the noise but it seems failed.

nothing in the room was properly cleaned

Never stepped foot inside due to nil contact available about late check in. Had to book elsewhere at my cost. Expedia no help and cant even reply. DO NOT USE if you want an out of hours check in. Tho crappy service probably means crappy hotel

Fridge doze everything I put in it, shower pretty poor, room servicing poor.

Convient but needs a bit of refurbishment
