Very impressed with Travelodge. The Southbank in Melbourne is just an amazing location, right in the heart of everything. The hotel was very good. Room was quite large and very clean. Staff were friendly and helpful. A very good experience and would definitely use Travelodge again. more

Don't expect a cozy bar or 5 star restaurant at this hotel - it's modern and basic, a vertical motel. The rooms are well appointed and clean, if you get a view it's a bonus. Breakfast is available but why pay $17 a head when you can walk to Southbank in under 5 minutes and get your pick of cheap... more

Getting There: While a taxi likely will be a little faster, I would recommend (especially for those traveling solo) taking one of the many shuttles that travel between the airport and the city hotels, including Sunbus and Skybus. (Skybus, unlike Sunbus, runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.) The price of these shuttles runs as low as about... more

We spent one night at this hotel in late June--after arrival from the flight from US and prior to a driving trip (from a not too distant rental agency office). The location is very central to many things--shopping, dining, concerts, the casinos, theatre. Because of the dense high rise development in the neighborhood, I suspect few rooms have much of... more

Arrived at the hotel, booked through ratestogo.com - had specifically mentioned smoking room, in an upper floor. The front desk staff, after coughing all over my room key, did not read the notes in my booking and had me in a non-smoking room, this person seemed very uninterested in the fact that I was spending money to stay with this... more

We stayed here on the strength of the reviews in Trip Advisor and were not disappointed. The rooms were comfortable, serviced daily, and although standard fare, suited our neesd entirely. The big plus is its location. The cafes along the river are endless and we found one close by which served delicious coffee and freshly-baked muffins for $5.00 total. An... more

Did a bit of research to find the perfect place to stay in Melbourne, and Travelodge certainly didnt disappoint! The location was fantastic, so close to everything, restaurants, casino etc. Rooms were above average, very clean, comfy bed, perfect size for a couple. We found the seven eleven round the corner to be very handy, as well as the 24... more

On a recent trip to Australia I chose to stay at the Travelodge Southbank (in Melbourne) and Hotel Stellar (in Sydney) due to reviews on TripAdvisor. While my expectations for the Hotel Stellar were exceeded, I found myself underwhelmed by the Travelodge Southbank. The biggest pluses for the hotel are its location (it would be hard to get much better)... more

We loved the hotel location. It is close to the main attractions and restaurants. The room is ok and the breakfast is really good, but it is not included in the price and it is quite expensive. We arrived in a Sunday morning and one elevator (there are only two) was out of order. It really bother many hosts because... more
