What a secret gem! Great rooms, exceptional service and reasonably priced. Convenient parking and not too far from the CBD. The staff are extremely helpful and I could not find a single issue with this hotel. Spacious room with a balcony and two bathrooms. Highly recommended.

Approximate cost: $15-

Have stayed here several times and in different rooms each time. The staff are great, welcoming, professional and happy to help. The location is fantastic on the Carlton edge of the CBD and therefore walking distance to attractions such as the Exhibition Building, Melbourne Gaol, Lygon Street and approx 20 minute walk to Queen Victoria Markets. As these are apartments with a laundry, balcony and fully functioning kitchen they are a great base for longer stays or with friends. There is an indoor, heated pool free to use for all guests and a small supermarket/bottle shop just around the corner from the front entrance to the building. The free tram that goes around the city stops out the front which is convenient to get around the cbd. A little pricey to go through their website but can be cheaper (at times) to go through something like wotif or lastminute.

Approximate cost: $250
