ibis Styles Southbank is ninth of nineteen on 30 points. Its edge is the breakfast clock: Accor lists service from 07:30 to 14:30, plus a COOP restaurant and bar, across 162 rooms of 16 to 30 m². The page doesn't say a rate includes breakfast.
Accor puts Southern Cross station 1.6 km away, a 25-minute walk, and says tram route 58 is a short walk off with no distance given. Route 58 isn't the pier's tram — our routing puts Station Pier at about 2.2 road miles (3.5 km), 5 minutes with no traffic.
Drivers get the Power Street freeway exit 200 m away, but parking is only listed as near the property, with no details printed. No pool or gym is listed; the whole building is non-smoking, and Wi-Fi is free.
I'd book it for a late breakfast and a bar in the building, not for a pool.
Book it if
- You want breakfast on a slow morning, served until 14:30.
- You'd like COOP and a lobby bar in the building.
- You're driving, and a freeway exit 200 m away helps.
Look elsewhere if
- You want a pool or gym. Neither is listed.
- You need a firm parking answer before you arrive.
- You want rooms larger than 30 m².

A cab from City Road, not route 58
Accor's rail reference is Southern Cross station, not the pier. Book the cab, and don't count on a walk.
Accor names no airport shuttle for ibis Styles Southbank.
ibis names no ride, so the taxi from the door is yours to book.
From MEL without a hotel shuttle
By our routing Melbourne Airport is about 15.6 road miles from ibis Styles Southbank, roughly 25 minutes with no traffic. From the airport it's a taxi, or SkyBus to Southern Cross and a short ride.
Accor says tram route 58 is a short walk away, with no distance. That isn't the pier's tram, so we count no rail link for ibis Styles Southbank.
If you drive, parking is near the property, with no details printed.
Nothing changes on sail day: no shuttle is listed, so it's a taxi.

How 30 points add up: distance and COOP
