The best available hotels & places to stay near Melbourne

August 11, 2022 Florencio Paulino

Melbourne is proud of its neighborhood precincts, each offering a unique cultural experience. No other city in Australia has such clearly defined areas. This could be because Melbournians are both worldly in their outlook yet tribal in their local loyalties – as seen in the fanatical support for their local AFL football clubs. Here history is cared for and exemplified in the originality of diverse neighborhoods – each has a unique face but all of them will greet you with a smile.

Reviewed By Ellen F

Such a great addition to Melbourne's hotel scene. Beautiful fit-out, great restaurant and other dining options, the rooms are well designed and all brand new with Dyson hairdryers and straighteners. Staff very friendly too.

We stayed here for a night in a studio room. The room was really spacious, with fantastic views of the city. Really comfy bed, blackout curtains, and nicely furnished. We would have no hesitation in staying here again. Couldn't fault it really.

Perfect amenities, place was clean and staff were friendly and helpful as well. Only gripe would be with location; the nearest tram stop is some distance away, but imagine it would be a very scenic and nice walk in the summer.

Affordable stay

Reviewed By Becsta26

Stayed here for one night as it was affordable. Great location, close to a lot of great restaurants. Highly recommend to bring your own pillows as the hotels are terrible. Bathroom is a little poking, one ply toilet paper and shower could do with a deep clean. We opted to park at the hotel which was $30 on a Monday night.

Lovely Staff let down by damaged and uncomfortable room.

Reviewed By Clarendon

I have stayed at the Langham before, and loved the hotel. This time will probably be my last time. I understand all the difficulties in re-opening after the long, long Covid lockdowns. What I do not understand is why this hotel still charges full luxury rates whilst offering an inferior product. Luckily I was alone, in a king bed room. The bed nearest the entry was so uncomfortable as to be impossible to sleep through the night. I changed to the other side, and this was at least tolerable. I was told they are replacing all the beds, from the top down, but had not yet reached the 18th floor. Surely the purpose of a hotel is to provide a bed for a traveller to sleep in. The bathroom was another matter. There is clearly visible mould on all the floor joins around the shower screen, and also in the top overflow drain hole of the sink. The floor of the shower, just where one stands, is so damaged that the top of the marble is gone, leaving what feels and looks like bare, rough concrete to stand on. On the other hand, the staff were wonderful. Peter the Concierge was so helpful and knowledgeable. The dining staff were unfailingly helpful and courteous. Stuart in the Private Kitchen ((room service) went above and beyond. The quality of the room service meals was fabulous. I ordered quite a few dinners in the room due to the appalling weather outside.

Just what you need for a 2-3 night stay

Reviewed By Stay40663607501

Very clean, located and well equipped hotel. Very fast checkin and checkouts. Well equipped gym. I will return there without any hesitation. To be improved - - breakfast ok, but a bit expensive at $35. Not really worth it, not sure why they’re is no à la carte section. - I had forgotten my shaving cream. A pity that they didn’t have any shaving kit available. - diner menu is ok, but quite limited. Also, the photo of pizzas are very misleading. The photos show thin / home made pizzas, the ones delivered are very thick, not great and clearly delivered by a 3rd party. But again, despite these 3 items, I would recommend it and give it a 4.5 rating.

Good room, check out took far too long

Reviewed By Tabitha A

Check in was fine The room we were told was very small, but actually it was much bigger than expected. It was clean and comfortable and had everything you need. Location is very good. Check out was a pain! Only 2 staff, and about 10 people checking out, and of course the 2 staff were held up with 2 people who were not simple queries. Took over half an hour to check out. Price was quite expensive for the room,even for a sat night.
