ibis budget Fawkner

Great value for money

Have stayed many times . Close to airport very convenient & affordable

On the first night there were kids running around and screaming until 3am and the front door was constantly being bagged throughout the night

Good value

Pretty good

Pretty good

Good value, 10 mins from airport. The room was compact but the bed was comfy.

I have stayed at this property a few times now. I do like staying here. I like that it is out of town. The train station is about a 15 minute walk from the hotel and takes around 30-35 minutes to get into the city. The rooms are pretty standard (quite small) there is a tv, fridge, coffee and coffee making facilities, double bed, airconditioning, ensuite in the rooms that I have stayed in. There is an onsite car park, with ample space. Across the road (busy intersection/ main road/ freeway) you have Mc Donald's , Coles, Kmart etc..

Hotel is in a very convenient area for access to everything. Room was supplied with the essentials required. Pillows need to be changed , got very sore neck from the low pillows and had to pay extra money for parking on arrival we were unaware of. Otherwise 4 star stay.

Broken pieces of glass in the room which we didn’t see, my son took his shoes off and went to jump into bed and stood on a piece, cut his foot open 1cm. Went down to tell the staff and he asked what room, typed it into the computer gave a stern look at the computer, I said clearly wasn’t swept/vacuumed he continued to stare for an awkward minute, no apology. Disgusting. Sheets were filthy. Under the bunk was graffitied which could easily be cleaned. Quick stay for a nap before the airport is perfect but nothing more than that

There was a coffee and tea bar supplied with no kettle; wierd. Shower facilities, but no towel, just a floor mat.

I didn't like the large step up to the toilet and shower, there should be a second step to make it much easier for people unsteady on their feet.

Good and clean

Shower was a problem having a large climb into it also water went everywhere through the toilet and floor no shower door or curtain. An extra $5 per day for parking car did not see any reference to this on the promotion.

Staff were not friendly and in no hurry to help. The rooms smell like damp, people smoking out of windows so every corridor smells like cigarettes. Plastic coated mattresses and the smallest bathroom Ive every experienced outside of a motorhome. Guests are questionable , seems a place for many people to live long-term. You get what you pay for, it is cheap, but I suggest paying an extra $30 elsewhere.

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.
