Quality Hotel Melbourne Airport Hotels in Melbourne

Quality Hotel Melbourne Airport

"I recently stayed at Quality Hotel Westmeadows for the second time and once again I wasn't disappointed. The whole process was seamless, from choosing my standard of room to phoning them on my arrival at Melbourne airport and phoning for their complementary shuttle bus service I had a 10 minute wait for the nice shuttle bus driver and when you arrive at reception after a 5 minute trip you are greeted by the most friendly team. My room poolside was absolutely spotless and had everything I needed for the night. It was also very quiet despite being close to a busy road. I had buffet breakfast which had a good selection plus surprisingly good coffee from a little machine. I had a very pleasant chat with the lovely lady who runs the buffet. Just a quick 5 minute walk up the road are a few good eateries and a little further along a couple of fast food places. I really can't fault the place or the staff and confidently recommend it to anyone wanting the convenience of a place to stay close to the airport at a good price."

"The location is fantastic, very close to Queen Victoria Market with easy access to all types of transport. They even upgraded us to a 2-bedroom suite for free! The living room is a bit small, but the kitchen is well-equipped. The only downsides were the very limited tissues and laundry detergent."

Linen and pillows had to be requested from reception and waited for. - Sofa bed linen provided was visibly stained (multiple fluid marks) and torn but smelled clean. No mattress topper provided; timber supports (2" wide in centre of sofa bed) protruded, making it unfit for use and causing discomfort and physical pain. - Bathroom issues: towel rail repeatedly detached from wall (reported, no action taken. since found to be a common fault reviewed by other guests on various platforms including.

I couldn't have been nicer given the circumstances and wasn't hostile back.

Yehs Hotel Melbourne CBD ★★★★
"This is the second stay at this hotel, where the room is just the right size for two people, clean, fully equipped with electrical appliances, including a portable heating system. The room I got this time had a city view, quiet, no noise disturbance. I was impressed with the service from the staff and the luggage storage service both before and after check-in."

Crown Towers Melbourne ★★★★★
"The location is pretty central. It's about a 1km walk from Southern Cross Station (SkyBus terminal), which is a bit of a distance but acceptable. The surrounding area is nice, mostly locals, with many restaurants along both sides of the river. The room facilities are a bit old, but the space is very generous. The pool is a definite plus, and it wasn't crowded. The twin room was indeed spacious and even had a walk-in closet, though cooking isn't allowed."

Hotel Grand Chancellor Melbourne ★★★★
"The location is superb. 4 mins walk to the nearest tram station. An alley away from Chinatown. Lots of food options / cafes options nearby. The hotel is pretty old but recently renovated. No free water bottles but has free refill stations at lobby; can pay 4bucks to have a refillable jug if you don’t have your own bottle with you. The heater in the room only can crank up to 24 degrees unfortunately. Doesn’t help with the Melbourne cold winter weather. But overall is a lovely hotel with its perks! Will consider this place again! Thank you!"

Atlantis Hotel Melbourne ★★★★
"I booked this hotel because it was advertised as a 4-star, but honestly, it's nowhere near that. It's more like a basic guesthouse from back in the day. Hardware: It's pretty bad. The lighting is dim, and there's a mirror directly facing the bed. The air conditioning is incredibly, incredibly, incredibly loud! It sounds like a tractor, no exaggeration! You absolutely cannot sleep with it on! The bathroom shower only has a half-fixed door. And you can clearly hear the sound of water running through the pipes from the floor above! It's just awful, awful, awful. Other: Most hotels usually have an emergency exit plan on the back of the door, but this one doesn't. There's only a regular door lock, no interior deadbolt or chain. Also, the elevator doesn't require a key card, so anyone can come up."
