"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."

Atlantis Hotel, Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"Needed a last minute room after my flight was delayed and subsequently missed the last train home at southern cross. The Atlantis is so close to the station and such great value. The room was spacious and clean, huge modern bathroom, and so quiet even right on Spencer street. "

Quincy Hotel Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"Great location close to many restaurants & Southern Cross Station. Decent sized room that was clean with a comfortable bed. Not at all sound proof - we stayed on level 19 & could hear a lot of street noise all night. Parking was $35 via hotel 'discount' but would have only been $20 if we'd paid at the parking lot"
