FitzGeraldAustraliaIt met my expectations exactly.
It met all my expectations of a budget accommodation. I particularly liked the continental breakfast and the welcoming and helpful staff.
Nothing.
AndrewAustraliaDon't expect too much, it's a cheap rate afterall.
It was cheap. Breakfast included.
Room was really small, bathroom tiny, bed not super comfy.
bernadettelesAustraliaDisappointed this time.
Comfy bed & pillows as always.
It feels like room 110 is the 'spare ' room. I understand it's a budget hotel , but I regularly stay in Ibis Budget hotels and thisvisn't it.
The shower head has about 4 holes that water…

What we’d check for you here
- That the step-free room is actually free on your dates, and whether it is a roll-in shower or a bath, which the listing never says.
- The pet fee and any size limit, which is where these bookings usually come apart.
- Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.
- Whether the rate moves for your dates, and what it includes.
- What the property actually charges at the desk on top of the rate.
Questions about ibis Budget Canberra
What time is check-in and check-out at ibis Budget Canberra?
Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does ibis Budget Canberra allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at ibis Budget Canberra?
Yes — parking is available on site at a charge the property sets. We check the rate and whether a space can be reserved against your dates.
Does ibis Budget Canberra have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does ibis Budget Canberra have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
How do I book ibis Budget Canberra?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
