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.

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.

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.

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.

For cheap budget accomodation, Ibis Fawkner is perfectly fine. Stayed there a few times. Convenient train access to the city. Rooms are clean, although you may notice a loose tap or other minor maintenance issue. The 24 hour KMart nearby is great to have. The only negative is highway facing rooms can be a little noisy at night from hoons doing burnouts on Sunday mornings, but that's hardly Ibis' fault.
