"The communication with the owner was great. We did have some issues checking in not getting the floor or room number or the wifi password. The room was a bit worrying cracks in the sink the toilet not in the right space, the bed not being larger people friendly and it was hard finding basic essentials like the toaster. The room was spacious and the air con was very chilly. It was walkable distance to central and very close to queen vic. It was very easy to find groceries at the woolies around...

"Breakfast buffet had no water or orange juice in the jug the whole time we had breakfast so that was a bit of a let down but the beer cafe connected to the hotel was awesome great food"

Rendezvous Hotel Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"Bar service in the lobby was great."

Great Southern Hotel Melbourne

8/10 Good

"Great location to what we needed- only downside was we on the Spencer street side and we could hear trains for awhile. 😊"

Pegasus Apart'Hotel

8/10 Good

"Good location for main shopping malls and access to the tram system. Made good use of the pool and spa pool too. Overall we had an enjoyable stay here. Victoria Market nearby is a must see!"

Oaks Melbourne on Market Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Although it may not be the most modern this is an excellent property that has the best if everything and close to the city. Breakfast Buffet is 1st Class and the Fitness / Pool area is the reason I keep going back"

ibis Melbourne Hotel and Apartments

8/10 Good

"I was fortunate enough to be upgraded into a corner apartment, so I had two bedrooms, a lounge and kitchen. Very generous, but I was travelling alone and didn't need the space. The room was a little tired, although nice and clean. The bed was comfortable. There was a blind missing in the lounge causing a lack of privacy between the bedroom and bathroom. I was on the 10th floor, but there are other tall buildings nearby. The restaurant was closed, but there were nice cafes and a pub nearby. The free tram was a one minute walk away, and that gets you around the CBD at no cost."
