The Hotel Windsor

8/10 Good

"They need to repair the floor around the elevator entrance on ground floor and straighten the paintings hanging crooked in the lobby. A hotel of this stature needs to be super vigilant of the detais. Housekeeping was excellent and prompt, breakfast was excellent. We will come back."

Meriton Suites Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"If Melbourne is looking for ambassadors to give a good impression of their city they should start here. The amazing staff at the lobby were just the beginning. We loved our room, we loved the location, we loved the quick response when we asked for something. I would absolutely recommend this hotel and I will definitely stay again when I have the opportunity."

Holiday Inn Express Melbourne Little Collins by IHG

8/10 Good

"Hotel was quite good, with some quirks/problems. Room was very clean, well-appointed and a good layout. Bathroom was very modern with a good-sized shower, room had both a desk and a couch-like chair for relaxing spaces other than the bed. Staff were very helpful, breakfast was pretty solid (quite busy, but plenty of food and pretty decent quality), and the gym is pretty decent and available 24 hours. However, the experience was not perfect. Most prominently, the bed was quite bad, being somehow too firm and too springy at the same time, made worse by awful pillows (the soft may as well have been empty, the "firm" was still comically soft). Likewise, the kettle in our room was the only kitchen appliance available but it was slow, loud, and spilled water every time we used it. Also, the shower was large and okay to use but getting the water in a human-habitable temperature range was an exercise in frustration. Overall, very solid hotel in an absolutely incredible location, but not without it's drawbacks."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Mernda?

The best time to go to Mernda is during the spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) months, when the weather is most pleasant.

During spring, you'll experience mild temperatures, typically ranging from 15°C to 25°C, with blossoming native flora. This makes it ideal for exploring the numerous parks and reserves in and around Mernda, such as the Plenty Gorge Parklands, where you can enjoy walking trails and observe local wildlife. Families will find these conditions superb for outdoor activities without the intensity of summer heat.

Autumn also offers comfortable weather, with temperatures generally between 12°C and 22°C. The cooler, drier air is excellent for outdoor pursuits and allows for comfortable day trips to nearby Yarra Valley wineries, which are easily accessible from Mernda. Couples looking for a relaxing escape will appreciate the comfortable climate for vineyard tours and dining experiences.
