10/10 Excellent

"I was pleasantly surprised how good this hotel was. The staycation package was excellent value and covered all the extras i needed i.e., breakfast and parking inc a nice welcome gift (bottle of sparkling wine). Great views from the room overlooking the local cricket ground and Melbourne CBD in the background. The world famous Albert Park is only a short five minute walk away. The room itself was very spacious. The bathroom was fairly small but included a vanity area between the bedroom and the bathroom which made up for the space. This was a great find and I look forward to staying here again."

Pegasus Apart'Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is located in the perfect spot. It’s right adjacent to the Queen Victoria markets and short walk from all the main shopping centers. It’s located in a relatively more quiet spot, which is easy access for Ubers and I feel quite safe. The reception have always been friendly and I’ve never had any issues and the rooms are quite clean. This is the only hotel I booked when I travel to Melbourne."

The Victoria Hotel Melbourne

8/10 Good

"I always stay here when in Melbourne. Everything is walkable from here and having Brunetti Oro and Reno’s Pasta and Tiramasu across the road is a bonus. The room had a pungent smell from the pipes in the bathroom and I advised reception but the smell was there the whole 10 days. I combatted it by leaving the bathroom fan on and keeping the door closed. But before I discovered this hack I was literally sick from the smell. I didn’t use the amenities apart from the handy and cheap washer and drier $4 each but as I have terminal cancer I was glad to rest in a quiet room. They could do something about the view from Room 140 (and those on that side)as it looks onto the HVAC and pipes - even a paint and some fake grass and plants would be an improvement! I only eat toast and cereal for breakfast so the $28 was a waste for me and the machine coffee is awful. I’d stay here again just because of the familiarity with the property and its excellent location. The staff are always friendly and helpful but it would be nice to recognised as guest who’s stayed there 5 or 6 times. But I suppose I’m not the only one!!! Bed was comfy. I’ll stay again but avoid peak times (Melb Cup and Australian Open) when the prices are exhorbitant!"

Rydges Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely first time stay at Rydges. If you are headed to Her Majesty’s Theatre, this is the perfect place to stay and best of all it’s just next to Chinatown. Everything was simply amazing including the breakfast. Only small letdowns are; 1) The Pool is just way too small for my liking 2) No Bathrobes nor Indoor Slippers. I’m a little surprised. But overall still an amazing and convenient place to stay in the City and it’s practically near the Parliament Metro too."
