edited October 2013 in Other Migration Topic
Hi Everyone! Would like to open this topic about hotels for your temporary initial accommodation. I'd like t ask if anyone has experience checking into Ibis Hotel at Little Bourke Street, Melbourne. We are looking at getting this for our 3 days initial accommodation since our longer accommodation won't be vacated 3 days after we landed in OZ. This is for a family with a 3 y/o child. Would like to know specifically if the hotel is child friendly. Thanks in advance for your insights!

    Haven't been to this particular hotel but you will seldom go wrong with Ibis as this is an international chain... Stayed in Xiamen and Jakarta and they were good.

    Location wise for this hotel is very central; I see this almost everyday as it is very near my workplace.

    Previously I stayed in Hotel Miami in North Melbourne. Check mo lang, it might be a bit cheaper as it is not too Central.

    Thanks for the feedback guys, wala naman akong hinahanap na specific service. I just like to know if malinis ba yung mga rooms like I said I'll have my 3 y/o daughter with me. But since you mentioned its an international chain. I'll take it as a good sign. Need din kasi namin yung malapit sa lilipatan namin which is in Northcote dahil may dala kaming 3 luggage and 2 BB boxes + 3 carry-ons. Excited na for our landing next month!
