The hotel is very central for all things in Perth city and is very affordable, unfortunately that probably reflects the quality. The room decor is very simple and cheap and not a very cosy or relaxed atmosphere. The facilities are limited, but that is expected as it is an old hotel. It has plenty of character and a pub downstairs... More

I stayed in the Melbourne Hotel for one week the end of November 2011. I have to say that this place offers very little value for the money. The rate I paid was in excess of AUS 200 / night for a delux room w/ balcony, and what I got in return was a run down room with tired fixtures,... More

We booked this hotel as it seemed to be the only one available over the CHOGM weekend in Perth! It is cheap, and the hotel rooms are above a pub, and right in the middle of the CBD. So it is very central to bars, restaurants, attractions etc, but it is noisy. The rooms and the upstairs hotel part are... More

The location and price (central & cheap) were the best things about the Melbourne. The hotel needs some updating. It's pretty basic and noisy. While not one to complain about noise when staying in the CBD (which goes with the territory) the walls provide very little insulation to outside noises. Adjoining rooms televisions, conversations in the corridor and the bass... More

We had an overnight stay on a Saturday night. Not impressed that we had to carry our own luggage to our room on arrival. We also had a long wait at reception on booking in as she was on the phone forever. No-one else was about. I must say though that all other staff we encountered were very friendly. The... More

This was one of the most diappointing stays on a business trip I have ever done. The room was moderately decorated and basic. I've stayed in a flag inn with better quality than this. The room had no windows or access to fresh air, the airconditioner was noisy and the ceiling fan was useless during some hot humid weather. Every... More

Often reviewed as a heritage hotel but actually old fashioned, tired, a bit gloomy. Our room at the back felt rather like a prison cell with one small, very high window. Furnishings were poor. From our diary.... 'Hotel room is a bit tired - no - a lot Third World. Furniture from B & Q pine flat-pack. The ceiling fan... More

Room was beautiful, very large and well decorated with a large balcony running all the way around the hotel outside with access. The hotel is located just off the centre of Perth but very close to all the bars on Murray St and within easy reach of taxi's and train to the suburbs. The hotel has an ajoining bar downstairs...

Having requested a quiet room we found ourselves overlooking one of the main streets through Perth. After a 24 hour flight and it being 1.30am we didn't complain and made the best of it. The room was comfy and clean but was rather tired and in desparte need of bringing onto the 21st century. The staff were very helpful even... More
