"If you are after the cheapest room in Melbourne City, then this is the hostel for you. The single room was basic, but fine for the price. Very convenient with a tram outside on Elizabeth St. The kitchen, toilets and bathrooms were filthy, so wear shoes inside these areas."

"St Kilda East Backpackers. We walked in, not one to book us in, not that that mattered, we couldn't stay there. smelt like dead rats, worse than if you pictured a hovel. We rang the owner, and Wotif rang the owner. Both responses were if people want a clean place to stay, they should go somewhere else. I would be very surprised if Wotif allow this hostel to book through them ever again."

"Beautiful hotel with A+++ service Happy to recommend "

Meriton Suites Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely apartments, very clean and a comfortable bed too! Kitchenette had everything we needed and we had a great view from the 19th floor. Reception staff were very helpful when we checked in and we were able to check in 2 hours early. Great location close to the Skybus stop at Southern Cross station and Marvel stadium for AFL. Easy access to trams and loads of choice for dining and shopping."

Grand Hyatt Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"It was wonderful, I had a toddler with me and they were so great with him. Highly recommend the breakfast, wasn't as huge a fan of the dumplings but the rest was SO good. Dinner wasn't great but it was nice to have room service. The koala mousse is wonderful if you peel back the koala "fur" to the mousse. Excellent. The place was clean and they give you extras of everything, loved the laundry service too, that was super convenient. The pool was cold but hot tub was hot. The gym is fantastic, they have a spin studio too!! So great. It's close to great shops and the train station and the free tram and walking distance to many tourist attractions like the Melbourne museum and parks and the waterfront. "
