Top Melbourne Central Business District Hotel Reviews

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed as a couple for 4 nights and were very happy. Location was just 20 min tram ride from the FED square part of CBD and many trams to choose. We were on 9th floor and our room literally faced a wall of neighbouring building but we didnt come to admire Melbourne via hotel window. Hot breakfast was excellent but same thing every day so got a bit tired of it. Tip: include it as part of room booking otherwise its quite expensive! Room was rather big but hotel does need a fresh coat of paint in hallways and rooms. However, all in all we were quite happy!"
