The bed was good quality, I had a good night's sleep on it. When the noise from people outside the room finally died down about 11pm. Mugs instead of cups for tea and coffee was appreciated.
Now for the not so good. The TV in the room was tiny and must have been about 10 years old at least. There was very little room to move around in once I put my suitcase down and it was so bad I tripped over it when getting out of bed and fell over and hit my head on the corner of the bedside shelf. Plus the bathroom/toilet capsule was so tiny you could barely move around in it. Not to mention that the steel step out of it became slippery after a shower and a slip hazard. I was also woken at 5am by someone using the toilet in the next room due to bad sound insulation between the rooms. There was also a step you could trip over easily as you left the room.
As I was on the ground floor I had to keep the blind down on the window the whole time because people could see straight into my room from the car park, which was also a noise problem as they got into and out of their cars at all hours.
Finally, food was advertised in the room, pizza, which was unavailable when I asked for it. And the guy on the desk didn't even realise I was waiting to speak to him because he had his head in his phone.

Hi Ahmad,Thank you for staying with us and for taking the time to provide us with some valuable feedback. My sincerest apologies that the experience fell below your expectations. The housekeeping team work extremely hard to maintain the cleanliness of the rooms, though I will be speaking with the housekeeping manager to see what we can do to further improve. I am also sorry to hear that the third floor was inconvenient due to your injuries, we are able to pre-allocate rooms for our guests if they request this at the time of the booking, so I do hope next time that we can arrange this for you.I am glad to see though that the rest of your stay was a pleasant one. Thank you again for sharing your experience and we hope to welcome you back to the hotel on your next visit to Canberra.Kind regards,

It was very easy to find and the staff was pleasant to speak to. the bed was comble. the step into the bathroom was a bit high to step into and out. just a little too small for an elderly couple. We would like a bigger room to stay next time we are in Canberra.

Hi Carol,Thank you for staying with us and for taking the time to provide us with some honest and valuable feedback. I am thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your recent stay at Ibis Budget Canberra. I can definitely empathize with your comments regarding the step and the size of the rooms - the rooms are definitely on the cozy side and the design is quite unique and are not to everyone's tastes. I do hope though, that it did the job in providing you with a clean and comfortable nights sleep! We do have some larger special access rooms available at the hotel that might do the trick for you next time.Thank you again for sharing your experience and we would love to welcome you back to the hotel next time you are in Canberra.Kind regards,

Check in staff were friendly and helpful, but had to sleep with the window open because of a smell coming from the bathroom. Also a fair bit of mildew on the shower & toilet walls.
Otherwise room was comfortable.
