Staying at the Voco Melbourne Central by IHG was one of the best hotel experiences I’ve ever had—easily in my top three. The front desk staff went above and beyond with their warm, friendly service; they genuinely made you feel welcome. Located right in the heart of Melbourne’s CBD, everything is just a short walk away—shopping, dining, public transport, you name it. It’s also super safe and private, which gives peace of mind when traveling. We mentioned it was a birthday trip, and although the bar was closed that day (a bit disappointing), they still surprised us with a complimentary drink gift—a thoughtful touch!

This place truly nails the balance between comfort, convenience, and personal care. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Melbourne.

Staying at Holiday Inn Express Melbourne Southbank was an absolute delight.

Staying at Hotel Indigo Melbourne on Flinders was a delightful experience from start to finish. The room was just the right size—clean, well-maintained, and fully equipped. I booked a courtyard-facing room, which was noticeably quiet thanks to the sealed windows, making it perfect for a restful night’s sleep.

Definitely a unique touch that made my stay even more enjoyable. The only minor note: a $50 AUD deposit is taken daily, which takes a little while to refund after checkout, but I’m confident it will come through eventually. Overall, this hotel delivers great value, especially for solo travelers or photography enthusiasts looking for a stylish, convenient base in Melbourne.
Check-in had a minor hiccup, but both the hotel and the platform handled it quickly and smoothly—no stress at all. I stayed in a river-view corner room, and the view was absolutely stunning, especially during sunset when the reflections on the water created such a peaceful atmosphere. If the floor level were a bit higher, it would’ve been even better. Located right along Southbank’s riverside, the hotel is super convenient for exploring Melbourne—just a short walk to the arts precinct, restaurants, or the CBD. The area feels safer and more relaxed compared to the opposite bank. Overall, the vibe is calm and sophisticated, perfect for unwinding after a day of sightseeing. Breakfast was excellent—plenty of options, fresh ingredients, and great quality. It’s rare to find such comfort and value in a city hotel.

Staying at The Ritz-Carlton, Melbourne was an absolute highlight of my trip. The entrance isn’t on Spencer Street—instead, you enter from Lonsdale or Little Lonsdale Streets and take the elevator straight up to the 80th-floor lobby. From the moment you step in, the concierge greets you warmly every time you come and go—it’s such a thoughtful touch. Breakfast, afternoon tea, and dinner are all served on the top floor, offering breathtaking views over the Yarra River and Docklands. The panoramic rooms deliver stunning sunrises and sunsets, even if the glass has a slight tint and the viewing angles are somewhat limited—still, the vista is unforgettable. My room was on floors 60–79, quiet and luxurious with excellent privacy. Breakfast features a small but fresh selection of fruits, bread, and yogurt, while drinks and main dishes are à la carte—though the quality more than makes up for the variety. I especially loved the hand-poured coffee. All bath amenities are Diptyque—luxurious and fragrant—and the bathtub is deep and relaxing. After exploring the city, returning to my room, having a light snack, and soaking in the tub was the perfect way to unwind. It’s not just a stay—it’s an experience, and the value is truly exceptional.
The location is absolutely perfect—right across from the W Hotel with stunning views from the lobby.
