4-Star Hotels in Melbourne

This is a very nice resort. The interior is very clean and large. Bed is comfortable and toilet is good with jacuzzi. You will see kangaroos and cockatoos outside the cottage in the morning and evening. My kids enjoy the stay very much. However you need to either cook your own meals or drive out to eat. The drive is about 15 mins.

This stay exceeded my expectations. The hotel facilities are complete, the room is clean and tidy, and the hygiene is very good. The staff are warm and enthusiastic, and respond promptly. The location is excellent, making transportation very convenient. Overall, I had a comfortable stay and will definitely choose to stay here again on my next visit.

Great airport hotel with convenient access to Melbourne Airport. I booked this hotel for my boss and her child, and they were very satisfied with their stay. The room was clean, comfortable, and quiet despite being close to the airport. Staff were friendly and helpful, and the facilities were well maintained. A good choice for families and travelers looking for a comfortable stay near the airport.

The hotel is great, and the breakfast is what you'd expect for the price. What's really lovely is that you can see Flagpole Park directly from the restaurant in the morning. The only downside is that the hotel doesn't have its own laundry room; you either have to take your clothes to an external laundromat or pay the hotel for a laundry service. PS: The hotel deposit is a bit high. If you want to get your deposit back quickly, I recommend paying with a foreign bank card like Visa or Mastercard.

The hotel's location is super convenient, right in the heart of Box Hill, with a shopping plaza and train station just downstairs. You can even see the trains passing by from the window. The room was very spacious and had a balcony. However, the bed was too soft for my liking and not very comfortable to sleep on.

It would have been good except for the large western facing windows left without blinds down and an electrical setup that turns the air conditioning off when no one is in the room. So we arrived to stifling heat, and an air conditioner that doesn't really cool the bedrooms, and no fans or windows in the main bedroom. Most other things were good, but having a comfortable room is fundamental and the apartment just isn't set up for that. We enjoyed the location and the pool. We can't really speak to service levels cos we didn't ask for, expect or get any. It was a bit frustrating that the hotel only had a booking for 4 adults when we made a booking for 2A+3C on trip.com but who knows who was responsible for that.

The location is great and overall we had a very pleasant stay. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. However, housekeeping gave us a different surprise on both days. 😂 On one day, the card we had inserted in the room’s power slot was taken away. Another night, at around 11pm when we were getting ready for bed, we realized there was no duvet in the room. We called the front desk and were told that they had run out of duvets. Thankfully, the staff responded very quickly and brought us a brand-new, unopened duvet. Overall, we still enjoyed our stay!

I spent a long time choosing this hotel on the platform before my trip to Melbourne. The listing mentioned it was a new opening in December 2025, and the location looked fantastic – right next to Queen Victoria Market with tram stops just downstairs, making it super easy to get to all the attractions. I was in Room 506. However, after checking in, I noticed two lights in the room weren't working, as shown in the picture. Since there's no main ceiling light, my friend and I had to rely on just one corridor light, three small desk lamps, and natural light from the window to get around the room. This made putting on makeup really inconvenient. The bathroom lighting was also quite warm-toned, and it felt a bit cramped with both of us trying to get ready in there. The bedding was clean, which was good. But, we found leftover paper scraps from the previous guest in the rubbish bin, and there was even some product packaging left in the storage cabinet near the entrance. The hotel appears to be a renovation, as the air conditioning control panel was yellowed and looked quite old. It's worth noting this isn't a traditional hotel; it's a serviced apartment. I've previously stayed at serviced apartments from brands like Stey and Habyt on short-term rentals, and based on this experience, I feel lyf still has a lot of room for improvement.

The hotel carpet smells, the building is old and needs a total replacement of carpet. When we entered our room. It smells like bleach everywhere. We have to open the window to make it go away. The room is decent size and the toilet and bath are separated where there are no hand basin to use after using the toilet if someone is using the shower or bath tub. The view from our balcony is magnificent, the Melbourne tall buildings skyline. I also love the location because it is near public transport, free tram and shops, even universities. The kitchen are complete with cooking utensils and pans. They got free coffee, tea and milk. The toiletries were given 1 set of tiny bottles but we are 4 people booked in.

The location is very good and quiet, with convenient transportation around, suitable for travel. The air here is very good, and it is quiet during the day and night. I recommend everyone to try it, and the price-performance ratio is also very high.
