The hotel building itself was originally constructed in 1926 and has a long history as part of Melbourne’s hospitality landscape. Over time, it has evolved to meet changing market demands and guest expectations. The property currently operates under the ibis Styles Kingsgate Hotel brand, which is part
of the global ibis Styles network owned by Accor.

The ibis Styles brand has its origins in All Seasons, which was established in Australia in 1980. In 1999, All Seasons was acquired by Accor, integrating the hotel into a global network of midscale and economy hotels. In 2011, All Seasons was rebranded as ibis Styles globally, reflecting a more modern, design focused approach to economy accommodations. The hotel was taken over by its current management in 2014, accompanied by a major refurbishment to modernize the property and align it with ibis Styles
brand standards.

Since then, the hotel has evolved into a vibrant, midscale property catering to both business and leisure travelers, balancing affordability with a stylish, contemporary guest experience. Its central location and design-led concept have helped attract a diverse clientele, including domestic and international visitors.

One of the worst breakfast ever
Pros:

Location is nice, but nothing else beside it

Cons:

Hotel was very cold, very basic bathroom. Breakfast was one of the worst even I have experienced in my life, there is also huge problem with cleanliness , this is outdated hotel nothing what you expect from Ibis Style in Europe. We are very disappointed with quality of hotel in Australia comparing to European standard they are much lower.

Ok for the price and location
Pros:

The location was convenient for the Melbourne CBD, train station and trams.

Cons:

The room wasn't especially clean and it was worn. The building is old, with creaking floorboards under the carpet. Looking out the windows was mainly into light wells and through fire escapes, out onto peeling paint and deteriorated pipework. The bathroom had a big metal toilet roll holder, a bit like a public bathroom, that it was easy to bang your arm into and hurt yourself on.
