Hotel Grand Chancellor Melbourne ★★★★
"The room is clean and location is very convenient within walking distance to many attractions in the city. The buffet breakfast is good value for money and delicious with choices of hot and cold breakfasts. The downside is that the bed is too soft for us. Also unpleasant experience with communication of hotel staff about the offer for a breakfast box in place of paid buffet breakfast which we can decide any time we were back for the day, was denied later saying this should be confirmed before 10pm. There was no follow up call or email despite the documented “unconfirmed” request. Also our request to grab something simple quickly was also rejected saying that it was a sit down breakfast and not supposed for take away. Not being helpful at all."

"The room was okay. They offer a shuttle service, but it's more expensive than a regular taxi. Downstairs, there's a mall and a casino, which is pretty good. There's also a river nearby that's quite lively."

Yehs Hotel Melbourne CBD ★★★★
"I recently stayed here for a couple of nights and had a pleasant experience. The location is unbeatable—it's situated right in the heart of the city, making it very easy to access public transport and local attractions. The service was exceptional; the staff were professional, welcoming, and always ready to assist with any requests. As for the facilities, they are quite basic and a bit dated, but everything was clean and functional. Overall, this hotel is a solid choice if you need a convenient base for a short trip and plan to spend most of your time exploring the city."

Pegasus Apart'Hotel ★★★★
"This place is outside of the free tram zone so remember to get the Myki card to take the trams. The best part was the indoor pool because it’s so cold outside. We all went in for a dip into the heated pool first, then went for a few lap swims, then back into the heated pool to end the night. There are convenience stores nearby but we’d recommend to head to the nearby supermarket instead to grab snacks and drinks that are way cheaper."

The sunset glow in the afternoon makes it feel incredibly cozy. Facilities: It has a super, super, super large living room, with a washer and dryer, refrigerator, microwave, oven, and even cutlery and pots. It's truly like a student's apartment, absolutely fantastic! Highly recommend it!"
