The Victoria Hotel Melbourne

8/10 Good
"Room was clean but showed lots of wear. Worn out and holes in the carpet. The biggest complaint was finding the window to the room which overlooks an alley was stuck open and the crank didn't work, additionally the window did not have a screen. Staff was able to come and fix the window. The water smelled incredibly sulfurous. Overall found it acceptable for the price and location."

What is the best time of year to stay in a beach hotel in Melbourne?
The most popular time to stay in a beach hotel in Melbourne is during the summer months, particularly January. The weather is wonderfully warm, with average temperatures sitting comfortably around 26°C, which is ideal for enjoying St Kilda Beach or taking a dip in the sea.During this vibrant period, Melbourne's beaches are bustling with activity, offering a quintessential Australian summer experience. Families will especially appreciate January, as the warm weather and school holidays create a lively option, great for building sandcastles or enjoying beachside picnics. It's also a fantastic time for water sports and exploring the coastal cafes and promenades.For those seeking a slightly different coastal experience, November presents a great alternative. The weather is still beautifully mild, with temperatures often reaching 23°C, which is great for leisurely strolls along the sand or enjoying outdoor dining with ocean views.
What beach activities should we do in Melbourne?
Melbourne isn't traditionally known for its beach activities in the same way as some other Australian cities, but you can certainly enjoy a lovely coastal experience, particularly in areas like St Kilda and Brighton.St Kilda is a popular choice for those looking for a seaside outing close to the city centre. It's easily accessible by tram from the CBD, making it very convenient. The beachfront promenade is superb for a leisurely stroll or a jog, and you'll find plenty of cafes and restaurants along Acland Street and Fitzroy Street, just a short walk from the sand. Couples might enjoy a romantic walk along St Kilda Pier, especially around sunset, where you can often spot little penguins returning to their burrows after a day of fishing.Brighton offers a more quintessential Melbourne beach experience, famous for its colourful bathing boxes. These iconic structures line the foreshore at Dendy Street Beach and provide a fantastic backdrop for photos. It's a nice spot for a relaxing day by the sea, perhaps enjoying a picnic or simply soaking up the sun. Families often find Brighton appealing due to its calmer waters and the novelty of the bathing boxes, which are fun to admire.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a beach hotel in Melbourne as a package?
