The Victoria Hotel Melbourne

8/10 Good

"Always friendly, great location & plenty to like about the hotel and its price."

Rendezvous Hotel Melbourne

8/10 Good

"Great location in the heart of the CBD with easy access to transport options. I stay regularly for work and the rooms are always clean and tidy and check-in is easy. My last stay, the hairdryer was broken and there was no conditioner in the shower, but otherwise it was a comfortable stay."

Rydges Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed overnight to see a show at Her Majesties theatre. Walking distance to hotel is why we initially booked our stay. We were both extremely happy with our stay. Front staff were very friendly and it took just moments to get us checked in. Room was beyond our expectations. Clean , modern , spacious. We took advantage of pre theatre menu at Bossley restaurant on site and had a very enjoyable meal on a relaxing atmosphere. Late checkout in morning was very appreciated after a late night. We will definately stay again. Thank You Ridges Hotel Melbourne."

Novotel Melbourne on Collins

8/10 Good

"Location at Collins is good. Most major attractions are nearby. Many eateries, convenience stores, bars. Flinder station walkable. Free Trams ride ( Tram - first time I experienced that is free ) within the most important inner city attraction. Must try Fish Market for seafood etc."
