Stamford Plaza Melbourne

8/10 Good

"The staff were friendly and professional and the room was very clean and quiet It was a really nice stay"

Oaks Melbourne Flemington Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Caretaker couldn't have been more helpful. We arrived very late and he was more than accomodating. Great location for our needs. Awesome city views from our room. Wide secure car parking. Apartment had everything you need. Only suggestion (albeit very minor) would be...some coffee mugs would be nice in lieu of tea cups given there was a coffee machine available to use and another towel rack in the bathroom. 5 🌟"

"Great location, new and amenities great."

Atlantis Hotel, Melbourne

"Helpful staff and clean"

Dorsett Melbourne

8/10 Good

"Yeah, it was nice. Real nice. Breakfast was a real letdown though. They have a drink machine in the arcade area next to the foyer that is amazing, from coffees, to energy drinks, dessert frappes and bubble tea! I’d come back just for that alone! I’d just have breakfast elsewhere. Great staff too. Very helpful, kind and courteous- 10x ⭐️’s for the staff!"

Park Squire Motor Inn and Serviced Apartments

8/10 Good

"Great location with easy access to City via trams and close to other activities/attractions eg golf and Zoo"

Parkville Motel

8/10 Good

"I stayed here on AFL grand final weekend, where all the CBD hotels were absurdly priced. This motel is well placed a short tram trip from the CBD and close to the Melbourne Zoo. The room is a typical motel room, with a bed, bathroom and tv and has everything you need for a short stay. The room was clean and despite being a really old building, was in reasonable shape. It presented a good value for money option"
