Great Southern Hotel Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed for conference. Room neat and tidy. Bed was comfortable, a necessity after a big day at conference. Location convenient for walking the the Melbourne Convention Centre."

Rendezvous Hotel Melbourne

8/10 Good

"For a single person staying the room was large enough but for a couple it will be tighter. The lighting was excellent, the bed was very comfortable and everything worked well at all times. The hotel itself has a brilliant location and gorgeous, full of jarrah and exquisite ceiling s. I didn't eat there but it served my purpose very well"

The Victoria Hotel Melbourne

8/10 Good

"Room was clean but showed lots of wear. Worn out and holes in the carpet. The biggest complaint was finding the window to the room which overlooks an alley was stuck open and the crank didn't work, additionally the window did not have a screen. Staff was able to come and fix the window. The water smelled incredibly sulfurous. Overall found it acceptable for the price and location."

Hyatt Centric Melbourne

8/10 Good
