Mantra Melbourne Airport

8/10 Good

"Great stay on the whole. Only issue was the mini fridge was missing. As we had medication that needed it, this was inconvenient as we had to lodge it with the front desk. However, they collected it from us etc so this was a plus. They would have moved us to another room but the hotel was full. Room was excellent though."

Quest Maribyrnong

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and very comfortable rooms. Located near a large sho pping centre. 100 metres from a fantastic Italian Restaurant. Large family room. Secure parking. Very good service"

Melbourne Airport Motel

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. Would recommend to my family and friends . It was also close to the airport."

Nightcap at Skyways Hotel

8/10 Good

"For what we paid, were quite happy with our stay. Was an overnight stay as our flight was in the morning. Could not fault staff or our meals in the lovely refurbished bistro. Rooms could do with a makeover though. Looking very tired. The room was very small, but again, for the price, not complaining. It suited our needs. 10% off our meals was an unexpected bonus. Would stay again but would like to see some upgrades to rooms."

Quest Moonee Valley

8/10 Good

"We had a problem with noise coming from the next apt at 3am, night manager sorted it straight away and we were upgraded the next night, prompt action taken and we were compensated with upgrade - wat more could you ask for!! Well done quest!!"
