"The place hadn't been cleaned, or it was done poorly. Only half a roll of toilet paper. Window winder broken, no fly screens and no air conditioning so mozzies were a problem."

"We stayed for 4 nights over Easter. Great area to stay in with Trams nearby and loads of places to eat. The hotel sits on top of a shopping precinct which is great. Not noisy at all and handy to duck down to if you want something to eat or drink. Unfortunately for us we stayed over Easter so our room was never made up during the day due to staff not working, but apart from that it was a really nice room, clean, comfortable and had a small kitchen area. Would definately stay there again"

"A stop in Melbourne was a late addition to our trip but one we're so glad we decided to include. Our stay at the Veriu Queen Victoria market was perfect in every way and suited our requirements entirely. From it's position in the CBD and location near the market and Chinese quarter , getting around was super easy. The hotel operated very efficently, our room was perfect in every way for our needs & we will not hesitate to chose the Veriu again when in Melbourne or use their other hotels in...

"The property is pretty dated, but by the same time pretty well maintained. You wont mistake it for a modern facility but its not falling down around you. Its also basic. No pool or spa or restaurant, but if thats what you need then you have to pay more than the budget price YEHS charges. Its basic, but you get what you pay for. Great shower, nice big room (going by the one I was in anyway). Staff were friendly but not intrusive. Location is absolutely perfect. Great option when all you need is...

"We had a fantastic stay at the Ibis Central Melbourne! The service was excellent throughout. The hotel cleaning was fantastic, and it was a real treat to return from a long day to a freshly made bed. We were also able to leave our luggage with the concierge for free, which was a huge help since we had a late flight back home. The location of the hotel was fantastic—it was right in the heart of Melbourne and close to the trams. We tried the breakfast, but it wasn’t really our cup of tea, so we...

"Nice room, but quite small and definitely not enough space for two suitcases. Didn’t enjoy the big floor to ceiling window facing the corridor, so everyone can see in. You can shut the blinds, but they you’re blocking out the main source of light in the room. Nice toiletries in the bathroom though. "
