I have stayed at this hotel a few times both with my wife when in Melbourne for sporting events and also by myself when staying in Melbourne for work. The location is great, walking distance to the CBD, the casino, and the MCG. I have always found the staff to be helpful and friendly and never had problems with the rooms.

It is certainly not 5 stars, but is comfortable enough plus is quite cheap. I would definately recommend this for the more budget conscious traveller.

We stayed 3 nights at the Travelodge while on vacation in Melbourne. We had a Twin bed room, very basic, and cleaned when you arrived. However the following days the rubbish were not taken out, and the carpet not cleaned. They only provide a couple of towels, and there is no toaster in the "so called" service apartment".

The internet connection didnt work well. It was always re-directing to the freaking home page every minute or so making the browsing difficult. They charge a 5 stars hotel rate for the Internet, I expect a 5 stars service.

The only great thing is the location. But there is plenty of hotels close by, so I will definitely try something else the next time. Staff was ok and polite.

I will not stay there again. For the price I paid, I can get better than this.

This hotel is in a good location and convenient to most places in and around the CBD. For those who don't like walking, Melbourne has a great free tourist bus and tram with stops nearby, pick up the brochure from the foyer of the hotel.
The staff were excellent and checked us in early and checked us out efficiently and stored our baggage. I requested specific bedding and this was accomodated, but make sure you call to confirm any special request. They even handled our e-checkin with the airline before leaving as they said that this was a bit hit and miss with the pay internet service in the foyer.
We were on the fourth floor and had no issues with noise.
You can get a good rate and avoid the credit card surcharge if you are prepared to pay in advance and book on the hotel website, they call it 'Advance Purchase 21'.

Great Location, just make sure you close the curtains because you have a 'city' view aka the building across the road. And when you can see the people across the road through your net curtains and they wave to you, you suddenly realise that they can see you! Now I am thinking that I am wrong when I assumed hotels in the city had tinted or mirrored windows, but I have learnt my lesson now!!!!

Close to the casino and great restaurants, this is a good place to base yourself for a weekend in melbourne.

Pay with cash and you avoid the cheeky fees.
