Where to stay in Melbourne

I'd like to commend Ann, the lovely Thai staff member. She was incredibly helpful. The hotel is very close to the tram, making it super convenient for getting around. There's also parking available for 30 AUD per night. The room was very spacious. I visited in April and was lucky the weather was cool, as the air conditioning didn't seem to be very effective. I had to open the balcony door and close...

Clean and relaxed space and friendly staff.

I thoroughly enjoyed my weekend here. The location was ideal for me.

Room was quiet and the bed comfy although when we arrived and checked in we went to our room and all the dirty linen was still on the floor in the room. Other than that we had a great stay. The food in the restaurant was very nice we had a great dinner.

Great location by the Yarra River and on a main tram line to city centre

Great hotel, very clean. I didn't get the room I booked the last night I stayed. No complaints... Only a couple of things: $200.00 deposit. Be aware, most hotels have a $100.00 deposit. No teaspoons or stirrers for tea and coffee supplied, only to be told I should have pre-requested them. What the...? The hotel is upmarket without the snobbish feel, Thu - Fri has happy hour if that's your thing...

Close to the airport with shuttle service, everything else was just okay. The shuttle driver was really good, very accommodating. We arrived too late, so for safety, we decided to stay near the airport. It's a decent option if you're looking for a layover hotel.

Beautiful souls 🤍 I recently stayed at Quality Hotel Melbourne Airport and wanted to share my experience for anyone travelling in or out of Melbourne. We have stayed here a number of times, the first time was because we had flight delays and didn't want to head home to return the following day. It made sense and ever since then we have used it as our little night before we go on the next adventure...

Decent and convenient hotel for short stay with comfortable rooms. Airport transfer is highly convenient especially for early morning flight.

I recently stayed at Quality Hotel Westmeadows for the second time and once again I wasn't disappointed. The whole process was seamless, from choosing my standard of room to phoning them on my arrival at Melbourne airport and phoning for their complementary shuttle bus service I had a 10 minute wait for the nice shuttle bus driver and when you arrive at reception after a 5 minute trip you are greeted...

Minutes from airport and many eating places within walking distance.

This was the only hotel during my 15-day trip in Australia that didn't give me a room at the very end of the hall and didn't secretly downgrade my room type. All the staff were wonderful. There was an elderly white gentleman, I think his name was John, who drove me to the subway station. He was worried I'd take the wrong train back, so he even wrote down directions for two bus routes I could take and...

Good service for after hours check in

PIck up and delivery from and to the airport was very easy. I called and they came right away. The room was spotless and very comfortable. They had a food cart for breakfast and dinner and both meals were excellent. I highly share this hotel.

2nd time staying here. Overall had been a positive experience. Was able to do some simple cooking over the stove and made breakfast. The guest laundry was useful for business travelling as well.

A great value for money place to stay Very friendly staff and very clean rooms

There's no complain that I can come up with cause in my opinion, I love this hotel. Though you need a car to drive out for food.

Nice clean hotel. Convenient location for short term stay being so close to the airport minimising travel time for catching flights. Staff polite and helpful with check in and check out. Felt safe and secure during stay.

Beautiful room with large ensuite bathroom. Staff were helpful with accommodating an early check-in. Split system heater/ air-conditioning worked very well. I love the black tea sachets and mini metal kettles!

Friendly staff, kind and helpful. It was a pleasant stay. I would stay there again on my next visit.

Good for one people stay caused it is not much space. Ameities can requested at reception. Location quite good can walk to Southern Cross station, Flinder Station or Town Hall station. For Uber, driver might drop you at the closest street, Flinder Lane. Easy walk just 1 mins but quite hard if you have 2 luggages.

The hotel is about an eight-minute walk from the Southern Cross Airport bus stop. The front desk was incredibly friendly and helpful, allowing us to check in early. The room, though compact, had everything we needed. The only downside was the somewhat limited space in the shower. I'd recommend this hotel for those catching an early flight.

This is a great hotel in Melbourne! Trams are in every corner and you’re just a short walk away from the Southern Cross Station. Room is spacious and has all the things I need. The staff are all warm and accommodating. Will recommend!

All are good except 1) The floor got noise when I was walking. 2) The bed is not anchored. It moved when I tried to sit.

Really great apartment with full kitchen bathroom and living room - so much space. Only problem was checking in, very confusing and the lady was unhelpful. Didn’t have WiFi for one day.

Stayed in mid-February. The room was spacious and comfortable, with a washing machine and dryer. There was a sour smell upon entering the room. Keeping the window open temporarily eliminated the smell. Body lotion and a hair dryer were provided, but toothbrush sets, shampoo, and conditioner were not. There was a microwave and a fairly large refrigerator. It's a little far from the center, so it's outside...

Just as advertised. Awesome to have a washer and drywr in room available. A shame the fridge freezer didnt work too well.

The lift smelt like fish the entirety of our stay (? the carpet). Sadly, the carpark was not tall enough for my car. We live 4 hours ago & rang to check before getting on the road with no answer. A voicemail was left & just horrific/relentless hold music!! The bed was very comfortable.

Room was quite run down, dirty, felt really unclean unfortunately. Shower was grimey, sheets did not feel clean, dishwasher was terribly dirty. Great location

Was certainly adequate, albeit it's all a bit faded & tired. The rooms are large. Not fussed that on a multi-night stay the room was unserviced but extremely disappointed that when I requested new towels, soaps etc my request was ignored & nothing provided.

The price was good, the staff were incredibly friendly, and its proximity to Melbourne's Southern Cross Station made sightseeing in the city very convenient.

Give us different room ,we paid for king room city view , they gave us room with apartments neighbour balcony view, double bed .

Location was close to The City. Convenient to walk around and get transportation. Staffs are not very friendly and helpful.

Pros: Great location near the harbor with beautiful views, and convenient transportation. The cabinets and kitchenware are fully equipped and very easy to use! However, the bathroom needs some improvement: 1. The shower only has an overhead rain shower, no handheld spray, which is not very convenient to use. 2. There's no clothesline or drying rack on the wall, so there's nowhere to hang towels...

Excellent! I'll definitely be back next time. The value for money here is outstanding, making it a superb choice whether you're traveling for business or leisure. Compared to other hotels in the same price range, this one truly excels in both service and facilities.

We always like staying here due to the convenience of Southern Cross Station and DFO. Just a few suggestions would be: -Shower screen is too small -better coffee in the room -Room service food options would be good -Usb connections in the bedside lamps didn't seem to work. -Executive suite should have king size beds -There were no blankets in the cupboards

Fantastic customer service and a well run hotel. The front office staff are amazing and were super nice to our two girls. Special mention to Ross and Deb for going that little extra mile that separates this place from the rest. The kids loved the pool and Xmas tree. Thank you for everything and we will be back

The place is old and really needs some work doing. Walls are paper thin. They had a party down stairs and it was so loud we couldn’t get to sleep til it had finished. Then we were woken by the neighbour showering at 6am on a Sunday. Room is nice and clean and beds were comfortable. Shower has a rainfall head which is annoying and looked to be falling out of the roof. Drainage isn’t great, so the bathroom...

Enjoyed our stay, nice clean room, comfortable bed, quiet. Really need to do something about a door for the shower, bathroom floor gets very wet. Downstairs bar was great, tapas was yum. Breakfast was good. Top floor pool looked like a great place to be on a hot day.

Spent two nights in a spa suite. The staff were friendly and helpful. The buffet was great. The room was a little dated and I hate the little milk servings the provided. I like milky coffee and was going down stairs three times a day to get more milk! However the spa was awesome! Better than anything I have seen in 17 years of hotel stays.

Rooftop has a great view. Staff good. Good night

My husband and I have just come back from staying here. The staff are very polite and charming. The rooms were very nice and room service was excellent. We had breakfast included and could not fault it. All services were excellent.Janice & Mike Dixon NZ

Quite convenient while visiting Melbourne for business and leisure Look forward to stay again Sincerely

The check in host was late and it was already a late check in at 4pm. The unit was clean, kitchen was good and location was perfect. However, the unit needed some upkeep. Doors didn't shut correctly, the laundry door couldn't shut, the outside door got stuck shut. View of the city was great but very little view of the water. Unit was easy to find and communication between the organisation was very...

Beautiful view from 27th floor but carpet was old and dirty and when taking a shower there was a huge leak on the carpet in the hallway. People at reception desk were quite rude as they acted for the people who owned apartments in the building not for the renters

We were on the 27th floor. The view was great at this height Location was good. Apartment was a great layout. Very comfortable and enjoyable

Great place, great location. Clean, secure and quiet. Excellent location. Apartment and building was well maintained. Not one issue at all.

This property was absolutely stunning. Definitely will stay again

Clean room, conveniently located. Staff were very helpful and friendly.

Great accommodation. Walking distance from the city centre. Would stay here again.

Daily towel change & amenities topped up although did run out of small cartons of milk on Sunday with no delivery until start of week. We were upgraded to a 2 bedroom apartment with sofa bed in lounge for 2 of us however only 1 mirror in entire apartment located in the bathroom. Glad there weren't 4 or 6 sharing as the mirror steamed up in the shower. Best shower I have come across in a hotel and great...

Friendly staff on arrival and check out. Clean and close to everything.

Clean room, staff was attentive and helpful with hot water issue. 2 bed/2bath suite was a nice large size for 3 adults. The location was in a central location and within walking distance to many restaurants.

Good size living space and furnishings. Close walk to mall/city centre. Handy corner for different tram routes. Staff were extremely helpful and genuinely nice.

Very easy check in and check out. Friendly staff.

Clean room, tidy kitchenette, leafy street outlook (B3), parking undercover (just be mindful of your height) friendly staff. Easy walk to Acland, Fitzroy Sts and the beach.

The bathroom was average at best. No storage space or shelves. Shower is tiny. The balcony has no privacy and was very dirty, cobwebs and excessively dusty.

Great to have laundry, however the dryer kept cutting out…took me 4 hours to finally get my washing dry!

Fantastic location and friendly helpful staff. The unit needs some upgrades to be top shelf. Stove top has two speeds, stop and flat out. Chopping board, cutting knife and frypan were quite dismal. Lounge wasn’t comfortable. Otherwise everything was wonderful. Hope these things can be fixed before next visit.

Very nice property, clean and spacious. Location was a bit out of the way with not a lot of good shops nearby. Some nice cafes nearby though.

Very kind & friendly front staff. Nice location & convenient room.

Staff at reception were friendly and helpful. Location is close to the trams on St Kilda Road as well as the new ANZAC train station. There are cafes and grocery stores within walking distance. Building is very secure, you have to use a special fob to get in the building, use the elevators, enter/exit the garage. Kitchen was equipped with plates, bowls, cutlery, glasses, pots, pans etc. However...

We didn't use the laundry or kitchen, but handy if you did need it. As for the "free self parking " I had to pay for parking $25. Can I get this back ? Over all the stay was very good and we are likely to use it again

Very easy to deal with great facilities in the perfect location.

There was confusion at check in even though I confirmed two days prior. I had reserved 2 rooms preferably next to each other. Other party arrived before me and given my room even though it was booked in my name . When I arrived my room was on a different floor and confusion reigned for a short while. Finally all was sorted with 2 rooms on the same floor. However, rooms were extremely clean, all amenities...

Comfortable bed and pillows. Plenty of room in our 1 bedroom apartment. Curtains needed a bit of TLC, but very friendly and helpful staff. Vety central for walking to different areas of the city

Stayed 2 nights with the hotel. Reception by the team and especially Patty was excellent. Only shortfall was that the pool wasn't available (had a Pride event taking place that weekend.)

It was really hard for me to step outside of my home. My friends pushed me to come out with them to see John Course play, but my mental health has not been at its best. It is not easy carrying a disability that people cannot see. I was nervous and extremely anxious, and most of the time I avoid going out because of it. But tonight ended up being one of the most important nights I have had in a long...

I stayed here for a week in total. Great location near the beach and tram stops. Modern interior. The price difference between the boutique and deluxe room can be small but the difference is huge. Service can make or break a place, and Patty was so welcoming and accommodating and cool - she made my stay.

Really great experience, only a 700m walk from Acland street as well. They also gave us a discount for the late-night booking, which was a pleasant surprise. We called up a few minutes and booked our room, which was the final room remaining! The attendant was polite, efficient, and just an all-round a great guy. The room itself was small, but as expected, very clean and a well-stocked minibar and safe...

Nice bed and good location but the light switches were all messed up / mislabeled and it took us until the end of our trip to figure them out. Likewise the taps easily blasted us with cold or hot watrrq

Still love the location and design, but getting very tired..needs a good clean and paint job. Had to ask for a deep clean before my second night. Felt grubby.

The hotel is conveniently located near the station. The rooms are clean and well-equipped. There are many shops nearby, offering a wide variety of delicious options, especially the coffee shop downstairs from the hotel, which serves excellent drinks. Overall, the experience was very pleasant.

This hotel is perfectly placed to explore the areas around South Yarra.  The train station is a few minutes walk away at the top of the road on Toorak Road, with the CBD being only 2 stops away.  It is just as easy to access other lovely areas around, such as Prahran Market, Brighton (famous beach huts) and many others.  Staff at the hotel are very helpful and pleasant with nothing being too much trouble...

It was a great room, and great customer service! The bed was very soft and I love the views from the balcony

Very convenient, close to the station

Very conveniently situated beside a train station and tramt stop with abundant shopping and dining. A short walk away. My apartment clearly had not been clean thoroughly with food left in the fridge from a previous guest and bed sheets were not tucked in properly. Apartment looked dark and gloomy due to the colors of the carpet and Furniture with numerous scuff marks on the white walls. Maintenance...

The room is large, has a terrace and a wide view. The kitchen is fully equipped, as well as a washer and dryer; in the bathroom, as expected, you must bring your own mouthwash supplies, and slippers are not provided. There are fewer shops nearby at night. There is a convenience store at the subway station next to it, but it is not open permanently. There is a supermarket about ten minutes' walk away...

We loved the Balcony and the double glazed doors to cut out any noise.

location was ideal, very close to plenty of pubs, restaurants and a short walk to the beach. I had no problems when I stayed here and would defiantly come back, the service was fine, the guy at reception was very helpful and friendly. I would recommend staying here.

A great hotel if you are on a limited budget but very basic facilities.

Great Location as I was there for the St Kilda Blues Festival. Everything was in walking distance. Food & Entertainment. Resturants & Fast Food. Rooms were Spotless. The Staff were Polite & Friendly. The Bed I thought was going to be too soft but it was so Comfortable.

Excelent service, clean place, worths...

super lovely staff, let me check in abit earlier and plenty of space in the room with comfy bed :) right near tramline and 15ish min walk to palais theatre where i had a concert so super convenient! no elevator incase you have big luggage but it was fine for me and super cool artwork around the place. thanks!

Great holiday park with very new and clean facilities. Reception staff are really friendly with a can do attitude which really makes a huge difference. Yes it is a little tight at times but in my experience this is pretty normal in city centre locations. But you certainly don’t feel like you’re in the city here. The park backs onto a nature reserve and is in a nice part of the city.

I absolutely loved my stay at BIG4 Melbourne Caravan Park! The cabin was incredibly spacious and spotless, and the amenities were honestly the cleanest I’ve experienced — and I’ve stayed at a lot of caravan parks. I arrived after hours and a staff member went out of their way to help me find my cabin, which I really appreciated. The heated pool was a hit, and the outdoor cinema is such a fantastic...

We stayed here for two nights. The camp kitchen is very good equipped and the bathrooms are in really good conditions. My daughter loved the playground, the games room and the pool. It is a fantastic site to explore Melbourne and the surrounding area. Really recommend it.

We stayed in our hired Campervan. The site is very clean and tidy and all facilities well maintained. Food shopping is walkable for a stock up of supplies. The hardest bit and most demanding was checkin. We had prebooked our visit but checkin is high tech, lengthy and personal interaction was difficult. It is the only site where we were asked for ID for our two night stay. Our credit card was already...

The room was mostly clean, but the blanket (alternative to a hot doona) needs washing. It was dusty

Everything was as expected Thanks for the stay will come again

The hotel definitely has a convenient side to it, but the room itself left quite a bit to be desired. The first thing I noticed was the smell. Since the hotel sits above a pub, there was a constant pub-like scent lingering through the hallways and even inside the room. Some people might not mind it, but personally it made the space feel less fresh. The carpet also looked like it hadn’t been properly...

I had only positive memories of the hotel; I would love to stay there again. It's ideally located and has excellent transport links, clean, and comfortable. I also liked that the hotel building is old and warm.

Staff were so pleasant and lovely to deal with. Room was perfect for an overnight stay.

Great price, great location, friendly staff, comfortable bed, overall id recommend

Room 207 was very good and it would have been even better if it had a toaster and some knives and forks. The hotel staff are terrific.

Comfortable rooms and good showers. There is no lift, and the stairs are quite steep, esp if you are on the second floor. Nice to have a nespresso machine in the room, although we had to ask for refills. No breakfast, but two good breakfast places a few steps away from the hotel. Food in the evening was good, and large outside space for a drink/food.

Would have been 5 star if you could open the windows.

It was a pleasant stay and in a nice area. Had everything we needed with the reception lady being very helpful and welcoming on arrival and when leaving

This was my first time at these apartments and it was a lovely place, very clean and nice and quiet also very close to Rod Laver wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

Very clean Room and friendly staff. Great place to stay.

D was fantastic very helpful and knowledgeable

Wonderful staff, well equipped and clean room. Washing machine and dryer unit was appreciated.

The location is extremely convenient, very close to the CBD. The staff are friendly and very pleasant. Although the building and rooms are old, they are clean and comfortable.

The room i had near lane was very noisy most nights, i will stay here again just in a quieter room My idea & housekeeping idea of make room up completely different - i think make bed, clean & tidy room

Great location and excellent service. They let us check in at 7:30 in the morning, which was a huge relief at that hour. The hotel itself was decent. The windows are quite thin, so a lot of noise and cold air came in. Otherwise, it was very good.

The room is spacious, with a cooktop and a sink, which is ideal for cooking. Bedroom and bathroom were clean. However, the utensils including pots and pans were dirty. Although I booked for 2 nights, no shower gel nor hand wash was provided (empty containers). I had to ask the receptionist for toilet paper, as there was only half roll left in the bathroom.

V centrally located; just beside Hardware Lane with all the diff types of restaurants. A 5 min walk to tram stations. An older hotel but still clean with functioning elevator. Room is quite spacious w 1 double and 1 single bed. No bedroom slippers provided. Reasonably priced. Will stay again.

The YTI Garden Hotel was average accomodation with limited amenities provided. Location perfect in the middle of restaurant, cafe, bar surrounding.

Check in was fine, but it’s a bit painful having to go to an alternate site (particularly after a long drive)! There was not enough parking on-site. The room was pleasant & clean. Except for the shower. The hand held part didn’t work & something very slippery had been left on the shower floor, nearly broke my neck as a result!!! The snacks were a godsend.

Clean room, Easy checkin. Great extra's included like cereal, coffee, milk, etc.. Great value for money.

The room was clean and tidy, comfortable and the basic breakfast provisions were a welcome surprise. There was a bit of noise from outside the complex after 10pm but otherwise I had a good stay. The checkin process at another site at Barkly St was inconvenient as it is about 20’ walk away (and 15’ by car in horrendous StKilda evening traffic as I checked in after 6pm on a warm midweek evening). Receptionist...

Everything was great however check in was at a sister property about a 5m drive from the property. Had we know this prior I would have possibly booked elsewhere. For check out we were told to use a drop box but then we still needed to come by the sister property to check out. Not very practical. Room was clean and had great amenities.

Kitchen was good no oven but stove top microwave and good size fridge shops were a block away

Staff were welcoming , bed was comfy , easy access , cold water would have been nice

Clean, comfortable and perfect location. Serviced daily. Honestly can’t fault it!

The room was spotless and the staff were very efficient and accommodating.

We weren’t expecting much but was pleasantly surprised. Very spacious & loved the balcony. We will be returning :)

The room was extremely clean. The staff were friendly. The bed was very comfortable.

The Studio Apartment was spotless and very comfortable bedding.Great they had Foxtel and enjoyed having morning coffee on the balcony.Great lighting in the bathroom and would recommend.

Everything was great…….except climbing the stairs, when I was exhausted after Derby Day at Flemington.
