Top Royal Melbourne Showgrounds Hotel Reviews

Pegasus Apart'Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I love staying at the Pegasus. This time though I feel the bed wasn’t a queen as advertised :/"

The Victoria Hotel Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing experience very quiet had amazing sleep"

Great Southern Hotel Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"Handy location a short walk from Sky Bus and Southern Cross station. Comfy room and warm shower. Helpful to be able to leave bag before check in and after check out. Big breakfast was very good value. Unfortunately other guests aren’t always considerate about being quiet in the hallways and sometimes it is also possible to hear water running from other rooms when guests flush the toilet or use the shower but otherwise it was quiet for a central location."

Meriton Suites Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly staff and a very clean room, would definitely book here again."

Quest Maribyrnong

10/10 Excellent

"Highly recommend staying at Quest and would definitely return. The staff welcomed us warmly and even on our departure the staff member was so friendly. The room was clean with the added bonus of using the washing machine & dryer. I haven’t slept this well in ages and the bed was so comfortable."

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"

Oaks Melbourne Flemington Suites

8/10 Good

"Pleasant staff, clean amenities. Does need an update/refresh. Unfortunately the hot water didn’t work for me at 7am in the morning. But would stay at again if in the area. It only cost $140 for the night 1A2C so I’m not complaining as I’ve stayed at similar places with better reviews for more than this place."
