“In my opinion, the Ibis Budget in Melbourne's CBD presents a practical choice, especially given its competitive pricing within the city center. I noticed its modern, though compact, rooms are equipped with essential amenities, offering a comfortable base for exploring nearby attractions and the Bourke Street Mall, which is only 200 meters away. Although there's no on-site dining, I think the abundance of surrounding bars and restaurants more than compensates, placing guests in the heart of Melbourne's vibrant food scene.”
