Hotels with WiFi in Melbourne

"How should I put this? Maybe I'm just used to business hotels, but booking this on a whim was a bit hard to accept. It was cramped, dim, and a little dirty. However, the price was indeed good. If you're just looking for a temporary stay on a limited budget, then this might work for you. I saw quite a few people staying there, probably just using it as a place to sleep after being out all day. There's definitely no luxury involved."

"Excellent location! So happy to be staying at Crown for this price, and the location is truly fantastic. Every day, I see attractive white people downstairs, which is a pleasure to the eyes. The ground floor has many luxury brands and famous restaurants – very satisfying! The front desk staff didn't say much, but they were very polite. It's amusing to see so many Bond girl-like white women walking around every day, haha."

"Overall, I had a really pleasant stay and honestly have very little to complain about. The location is convenient, the room is well equipped, and it was great value for my trip. Card access is required for certain floors, which can be slightly inconvenient, but it’s actually a good thing for security. The kitchenette comes with a microwave, kettle and stove, although I didn’t get to try the stove. Reception isn’t open before 8am. I arrived about 20 minutes early and waited in the small lobby, but the lovely receptionist let me check in early as a room was already available. Transport tip: From Melbourne Airport T4, take bus 478/479 and transfer to tram 59 to Queen Victoria Market (up to Flinders Street Station). The hotel is only a 2-minute walk away— a great way to save on airport transport! This works both way from and to the airport. Journey took like around 1hour ish. I’d definitely recommend this hotel to others and consider to stay here again if I wanna stay in a centrally located hotel."

"Hotel was well located within walking distance to shopping malls and tram station. Aircon in the room didn’t work that well through the night (seemed to be centrally controlled). Gym was also decently equipped. Front desk was helpful and we had a great stay overall."

"I stayed at Ibis Budget Melbourne CBD recently. As the name suggests, it’s a budget hotel, so expectations should be modest. The biggest strength is definitely the location — right in the heart of the city, with easy access to trams, Flinders Street Station, and plenty of shops and restaurants. However, I did encounter some concerns with cleanliness and housekeeping. On one occasion, my linens and bedsheet had visible yellow stains that looked like old pee stains. I requested a replacement, but honestly, linens in that condition should already be disposed of. There were also two separate instances when my linens and towels were not replaced at all, which was disappointing. Service was generally okay, and staff were responsive when approached, but consistency in housekeeping needs attention. Overall, it’s fine if you’re after affordability and location, but improvements in cleanliness would make the stay much more comfortable."

"The hotel is very new, and the rooms are clean and tidy with a great environment. The service was also very warm and welcoming, making for a pleasant stay. The location is convenient, and getting around is easy. The only thing I wasn't quite used to was the 'sandwich-style' duvet cover, where the comforter wasn't fully enclosed, making it easy for the inner part to come out while sleeping. Other than that, everything was satisfactory, and it's definitely recommended."

"Overall, it was a good stay, but we expected a little more. The water pressure in the room was weak and the water temperature would randomly turn hot and cold. As we were staying for 9 nights, we requested a room change the next day, although the replacement room had a less desirable view. The shower also doesn’t have anywhere to hang the towels, meaning you have to step out into the cold to reach for your towel behind the door, not the most thoughtful design. Located 1 stop away from the free tram zone, which is ＜10mins walk, that benefits from getting into CBD."

"One of the hand wash bottles in the shower room was empty, but they kindly left a hair dryer in my room as I requested in advance. The receptionist was friendly and kind. The location is great, and I think I’ll stay here again next time."

"I had a wonderful stay at Crown Melbourne and was very impressed with the overall experience. The hotel is in an excellent location, with easy access to restaurants, shops, entertainment, and the beautiful Yarra River. The room was spacious, clean, comfortable, and well maintained, with a great view and high-quality facilities. The bed was especially comfortable and made it easy to relax after a long day. The staff were friendly, professional, and always willing to help. Check-in and check-out were smooth and efficient, and the service throughout my stay was excellent. I also really enjoyed the atmosphere of the hotel and the variety of dining and entertainment options available within the Crown complex. Overall, Crown Melbourne offers a very comfortable and luxurious stay. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Melbourne and would be happy to stay here again in the future."

"This hotel doubles as a student accommodation, and as a University of Melbourne student, it's been my home in Melbourne for a long time. When I returned to Melbourne later, I chose to stay here again. I absolutely love it… Melbourne is truly an amazing and incredibly livable city, and this hotel is fantastic! The front desk staff are all incredibly patient, kind, warm, and thoughtful – truly wonderful people. Talking to them feels so refreshing. They try their best to accommodate room requests during check-in; some rooms face the street, while others are quieter and face inwards. You can hear activity in the hallways, so it’s much better to stay away from the elevators. The soundproofing between units is excellent; I lived here for half a year and never heard a peep from my neighbors. The location is superb!!! The tram stop is right outside, which is incredibly convenient. Lincoln Square is just next door, perfect for fresh air, watching pigeons and seagulls, and enjoying the treehouse and fountain – very chill. Ordering takeout is also easy with many options nearby. There are also small restaurants and cozy bars in the vicinity. I really like the Thai place diagonally across the street, I think it’s called Ohsc; I find their food quite good. On weekdays, a noodle dish for lunch is only $15, and adding a Thai milk tea makes for a perfectly satisfying meal. I also enjoy ordering takeout from 'Weishang Hunan' and 'Yixiangren'. Oh, and 'Dodee Thai' at Melbourne Central is also delicious. There are many Asian supermarkets nearby: an Asian convenience store to your left and an Ezymart to your right, with 'Asian Daddy' just a three-minute walk away. Larger supermarkets like Aldi, Coles, Woolworths, Big W, and Kmart are about a 10-minute walk or three to four tram stops away at Melbourne Central. In short, everything is very convenient! The roads are mostly flat too, with no hills to climb, so it’s very relaxing and comfortable! Many famous attractions are within walking distance: the University of Melbourne, Carlton Gardens, Flagstaff Gardens, Queen Victoria Market, Melbourne Central, State Library Victoria, Chinatown, Flinders Street Station, the Yarra River, and the NGV art gallery, among others. I can’t even remember all of them, but you can basically get to most places. I often go for walks. Or taking the tram right outside is also very convenient! It’s also very close to the train station! Melbourne is truly a beautiful and livable city, my eternal utopian 'white moonlight'. Moreover, this hotel is on Swanston Street, which is a very safe street. You might encounter homeless people in the city center or on Elizabeth Street, but I haven't seen any outside here. It feels like many residents are students, and it's quite safe at night. Since this hotel is also student accommodation, many University of Melbourne students live here, which I find very secure. You need to use your key card to access the elevators, and also to enter the hotel main entrance at night. The rooms are decent, though a bit small. The air conditioning sometimes doesn’t work well and you might need to inform the front desk to adjust it. There’s a small fridge and a hairdryer. Overall, the hygiene is good, but the duvet cover… it's not a cover that fully encloses the duvet, I'm not sure how it's arranged. If this bothers you, it's best to bring a disposable sleeping bag or something similar. For this price point, it's really good! I wholeheartedly recommend it! As for common areas, there's a kitchen on the ground floor with a microwave, oven, fridge, gas stove, and a large dining table. If I order takeout and can’t finish it, I’ll reheat it in the microwave for the next meal. The washing machines are charged for student accommodation residents – I think it's $5 to wash and $5 to dry? I’m not sure if hotel guests are charged. Overall, the entire apartment hotel is very cozy. I have a deep affection for this place; it’s my lifelong love affair with Australia!"
