Melbourne Hotels with Balcony

"The room was very quiet, and the bathroom was spotless. The kitchen area was large and well-equipped. They have a cinema, study room, rooftop, kitchen, and gym. The night view from the rooftop is absolutely stunning."

"Location is about 1 min walk away from tram stop. It’s located within free tram zone, and it’s about 20min away from the city centre. Room is cleaned daily. There is a small fully equipped kitchen. In addition washer and dryer are provided too which benefitted us greatly. However the sound proofing can be improved, we could hear sounds from the corridor when our neighbours returned late at night. The bed is also on the softer side."

"This hotel is decent, feels more like an upscale domestic chain. We stayed for two nights, and the hotel was fully booked, with a constant flow of guests. I also noticed many airline staff staying here. We booked a twin room. The room wasn't huge, but thankfully there was still enough space for two large suitcases. The best thing about this hotel is its excellent location. We walked to Central and St. Paul's Cathedral. Chinatown nearby offers a wide variety of food and drinks, and there's also a large Coles supermarket close by for supplies. During our stay, the hotel offered a 'no housekeeping, get a restaurant voucher' service. If you don't need daily housekeeping, this is a pretty good deal. Finally, a quick note: they don't accept cash for the deposit; only card payments! I used a pre-authorization from my China Merchants Bank card. The front desk said it might take over ten business days to refund the deposit depending on the card, but surprisingly, I received it the day after checking out, which was quite reasonable."

"The night receptionists were great, with excellent service. The location is in Zone 2, and you can catch a ride right outside the corner, though for a group, taking an Uber to the city center might be more cost-effective. The hotel's design meant that none of the bathroom doors had locks. In our first room, the bathroom door was semi-transparent with a large gap on the side, making it uncomfortable and awkward since there were four of us sharing the room. After speaking with the staff, we were moved to another room with a solid wooden bathroom door, which was much better. However, the new room's lighting was very dim, and some power outlets were loose; even their own lamp would fall out. The small cooking light in the kitchen was also broken. The towel rack in the bathroom was attached to the ceiling, but the ceiling around it was cracked and looked like it was about to fall, which felt quite dangerous. One day, I requested room cleaning and left a note asking them not to make the bed, but the staff didn't even empty the bathroom trash; instead, they left a trash bag for me to change myself.... There were only two tissues left, and they weren't refilled. When I went down to the reception, the staff said they could only make a note to refill them tomorrow, as they didn't have any immediately available. There was no phone in the room, so I had to go to the front desk myself to find staff. Each shift only had one receptionist, so usually, I'd have to wait 10-15 minutes while they dealt with other guests, which was ridiculous. It's not that the staff are bad, but they are severely understaffed! Also, because there was a kitchen but no cooking utensils, when I asked the front desk, the receptionist had to personally bring a set up... they're clearly too busy!"

"Arrived at hotel, advised I would have to pay for parking then told to just park outside for free. The elevator was out of action and told it would be working later that day, got there Tues left Thursday and still not working. Lucky I didn't have large bags because I was on the 3rd floor. The water pressure in the shower was very poor, hot water minimal and had to wait 5 min then a poor stream had to run around to get wet. So a bit overpriced for a hotel."

"It's OK. The restaurants around are OK. It's convenient to eat there."

"The location is great, very close to the city station for the airport shuttle bus. It's super convenient to get around with the free tram zone. I was really happy with the room size (surprisingly, it was the cheapest hotel on my trip but had the biggest room!). The facilities were decent, though the floor was a bit old. There was a stain on the bed sheet, but I was too lazy to ask for a change and wanted to avoid any communication hassle, so I just slept on the other clean side of the bed. What I don't quite understand is that the stain was in a very obvious spot, so the housekeeper couldn't have missed it when making the bed, yet it was left there. As for service, they only provided one small bottle of water for the entire night. When I tried to ask for more, the staff spoke English very quickly and I didn't quite catch it. I was also worried about being charged if I misunderstood, so I just gave up and bought water from the supermarket myself. They also gave very few tissues, perhaps that's just their eco-friendly approach."

"The hotel rooms are just a row of simple ground-floor units, incredibly small. There's barely enough space to move once you put down a suitcase. The room amenities are very basic and poor quality, yet it cost nearly 800 yuan. The front desk service was even worse; they told us that our two-person reservation was only for one person and tried to make us pay for an upgrade. I told them I booked a double room, and for the upgrade price, I could stay at the Holiday Inn at the airport. Plus, the taxi ride here was quite expensive. I also thought the shuttle bus was available anytime, but it turns out it only runs every half hour, and now I have to wake up early tomorrow morning. I truly regret booking this hotel. It's expensive, unhelpful, and inconvenient."

"Parking costs AUD 20 per night, but I wasn't told that I'd have to pay extra if I left and returned, which made me feel ripped off. I needed an HDMI cable for work to connect to the TV in my room, and it took a lot of negotiating with the front desk to get one. There was a lot of unnecessary hassle, and I wish borrowing basic amenities like this could be more streamlined. I stayed during the Christmas holiday, and it seems breakfast wasn't included, so I had to go out to eat. The bathroom in my room type only had a curtain, not a proper door. The windows looked quite dirty with a lot of dust outside. The pool had many leaves floating on the surface, and no one seemed to be cleaning it, so I didn't use it. I guess all these issues were probably due to a lack of staff during the holiday period."

"Location - In the ”Little Italy” neighborhood, so many pizzerias and gelato spots are nearby. There's also a 7/11 across the street. The hotel is right on the outskirts of the CBD (so not too far), and there's a bus stop across the street that goes to the CBD. The location is good. Room - Spacious, clean, and the wifi speed was good. The balcony in my room faced another building, but that wasn't a big issue for me- I don't use balconies that much. Lastly, I had my room cleaned each day. Good value hotel."
