Stayed in the Harbour View over Melbourne Cup this year. The hotel staff were very professional and helpful with arranging cabs and maintaining the hotel. The stay was very quiet and comfortable, even for such a big event. The cost of the room was very reasonable compared to other hotels and the comfort in was above par. I would definitely stay here again if I go back to Melbourne. The staff were very knowledgable about the area for a new-comer and recommended many great places to go and places to get a good feed.

Approximate cost: $1000

Travelled down from brisbane for Melbourne Cup 2012 and stayed in these apartments. They have a great range of rooms to choose from and booking was so simple. Staff were very friendly and helpful right from initial contact through to departure. We paid $150 pp for two nights. Rooms aren't anything super flash, but did the trick for us! Would definitely stay again!
