Pros:

A good size of room for one person to stay, keep it cozy. The design of the room is logical. Quick Self-check in. Very clean room and bathroom.

Cons:

I had a big luggage and when it's open it's hard to place as the room is small, but not complaining.

I definitely recommend the IBIS Central Melbourne and will stay here again on future trips.
Pros:

The customer service upon check-in was exceptional. Dealing with Jessie, she was able to facilitate an early check-in for me, at 12:30pm. Her friendly and accommodating nature made the process seamless. This was greatly appreciated as I had an event to attend at 16:30 and the extra time meant I wasn't rushed. The hotel is a short 10-minute walk from the Spencer St station, and very centrally located to the main CBD. I will definitely stay here again.

Cons:

There was nothing I didn't like about my stay. Everything was clean and accessible. The building was secure and there were enough concierges to assist with any enquiries.

Good value comfortable bed
Pros:

Comfortable Bed
Good WIFI
View

Cons:

The check in experience
Not checking in on ground floor
Having to go to level 2
Be faced with an automated system that didn't recognise my booking
It took me about 10 minutes to realise there was another reception next door
And I was having to go to a meeting so having to muck around for an extra 15 minutes was very stressful

Would never stay here again much better value at other hotels for less money
Pros:

Bed was comfy and it was quiet

Cons:

Parking massively overpriced $70 per night is disgraceful, the location and dropping off your car is a hassle and the lifts didnt work properly we also had constant issues with our keys.
