Carlton Lygon Lodge - Close to Melbourne Uni
4.1/589 Reviews
Lygon Street
The picture on the website is for a front room. It cost us $190 for Thursday Sunday and Monday and $198 for Friday and Saturday nights. It's right on Lygon Street which is very noisy with traffic. The room had a small balcony. Curiously there's no hotel chain represented in Carlton, but having stayed at the Clocktower (which is VERY basic) we opted for this property. It does have a small lift but you walk through the carpark, past boxes and bits of old furniture, rubbish bins etc. to get to it. The room itself was quite big, with a separate bathroom (very small shower) and kitchenette area. It was clean and the towels were good, toilet paper very cheap and thin, always a worry. The air conditioner in our room stopped working the night before we left, and the bathroom door handle became very loose as a screw fell out of it. Lygon St itself looks sad, with many restaurants and shops up for lease or closed permanently, thanks to Covid. For nearly a thousand dollars for 5 nights, we will not be staying here again.
Scape Living at Franklin
4.4/57 Reviews
Melbourne Central Business District
This is a wonderful place to stay. I had an upgrade through a rewards program and I was delighted that it was available because the views I had were simply amazing. Also through rewards I was welcomed by a free bottle of white wine and the opportunity of late check out. As I arrived very early, the receptionist (who was incredibly friendly and smiling) was happy to keep my luggage so I could head straight out and enjoy my day. When I returned she explained all the available facilities so that I didn't have to chase anything up. Up on the 47th floor, I simply towered over most of the buildings around me. I also had a corner room (4713), which meant I had a view from two sides. It's essentially a studio, but with the bed tucked away from the main living area. The condition of the room was great, with a very modern feel. The bathroom, albeit a little small, was clean and appeared as brand new as the rest of the room. The bed faced out into the city which offered an amazing view. Definitely one for couples as well as singles. Great touch to have bedside controls for blinds, mood lighting and power points also. I would definitely stay here again! Location in CBD is great with trams and metro nearby!
Space Hotel
4.5/585 Reviews
Melbourne Central Business District
Space is the first hostel of my trip and it’s set the bar pretty high! Staff are lovely, everywhere was always super clean, beds are comfy, towels are provided and you can even grab a fresh one every day if you wish. Location is great, would recommend the Queen Victoria Market for something to do and “pizza pizza pizza” was lush. There’s nothing “on” as such at the hostel but this didn’t bother us. The only thing that would be good is some extra fridges as they were packed full every day and it was hard to put your own food in anywhere. Would definitely come back.
Ibis Melbourne Hotel and Apartments
4.3/5120 Reviews
Melbourne Central Business District
We are so glad that they let us check-in at earliest around 12pm since there is available room. Just arrived from our flight and the reception is super helpful and understanding. We did early check-out 8ish and reception stored our luggages safely and securely with bagtags while we are exploring the city all day. It was worry free in terms of luggages. The hotel is near to Queen Victoria Market and I am so happy to grab some breakfast and also, you can buy cost efficient Australian souvenirs. Also, near to Tram and Train stations. The room is clean especially the toilet.
Imagine Lighthouse
4.1/592 Reviews
Melbourne Central Business District
I recently stayed at Imagine Lighthouse in Melbourne and was blown away by the modern, stylish apartments and excellent location. The view from my Room at floor 61 was stunning and mesmerizing, I could see the entire city. The rooms were spacious and well-appointed, with all the amenities like a Super Large Pool and well equipped GYM I needed for a comfortable stay. The staff were very friendly. My special Thanks to Mr. KIT on reception for being a great Host and a Friend and providing great recommendations for local attractions and restaurants. Overall, I highly recommend Imagine Lighthouse for anyone visiting Melbourne.
