We had a lovely stay at Balgownie Estate. The room was spacious, very clean, and comfortable, with a relaxing balcony that offered a beautiful view of the stars at night. It really added a special touch to the stay.
The breakfast buffet was generally okay, a decent selection to start the day, though not particularly outstanding.
Overall, it’s a peaceful retreat in a great location, perfect for unwinding and enjoying the beauty of the Yarra Valley.

The property is clean, tidy and spacious with full kitchen facilities, however it is fairly dated. Check in was pretty straightforward but they do tack on fees where they can such as for early check ins whereas most hotels that I’ve stayed in are more lenient and will provide early check in if there’s something available. However, I did get a free upgrade to a two bedroom suite which was very lovely of them. Overall positive experience. Unfortunately I didn’t get the chance to use the facilities though, but I do know they have a pool, gym and spa available.

It's quite a long walk from Southern Cross Station, and some of the paths are narrow, making it difficult to pull luggage. The front desk is on the second floor, and self-check-in is available. Since I arrived early and wanted to check in sooner, I paid an extra $25 per night to upgrade to a queen room with a desk. The deposit was $100. The room facilities were complete, though the shower head in the bathroom was fixed overhead and only allowed for direction adjustment. There were plenty of TV channels, including Phoenix TV for Chinese viewers. The staff on the ground floor were very friendly.

Room was clean and comfortable. Pleased that our room and bed sizes got upgraded as there was one available. Staff were friendly and helpful. Location is great and very close to the station, restaurants and shopping mall.
Little gym has the essentials for fitness which I was able to make use of. Only complaint was the buffet breakfast - very average if not poor quality. Fruit salad didn’t look fresh, hash browns looked over cooked and dry. Most food seemed as it had simply been taken out of packets or the fridge and served straight away, with no preparation behind it.
However for what was paid, we did get our money’s worth.
I have 2 issues one is the check in and check out time 10 am check out is too early if check in is after 2pm . I wanted to purchase breakfast add on but was told not possible at food checkout even though they had terminal, had to go to reception to do , however reception said they could do at breakfast bar which I just came from !
Second at reception I informed them that my room would not be vacant rd until breakfast was consumed at 10.30 , no problems but upon returning to room it had been serviced at some of my belongings removed!! What the !!
At 10.25am my ro

Location: Just a few hundred meters from Southern Cross, with convenient stores, restaurants, and tram stops nearby. Transportation is very accessible.
Room: Spacious, clean, and comfortable.
Service: Below even the most basic guesthouses. Some of their policies are unbelievable for a hotel apartment in 2026. They seem dedicated to turning essential services into paid items. Unless you have no other choice, I don't recommend it. 1. The front desk isn't 24-hour. Don't book here if you arrive after 8 PM local time, as there's an extra service charge. 2. If you forget your key and need someone to let you into the apartment, there's an extra service charge. 3. If everything goes smoothly during check-in, you're a customer. If there's a problem, they act like they're royalty. A normal response would be to help solve the issue, but they seemed annoyed that it was delaying their shift, and their attitude was terrible.
Amenities: Kitchenware, refrigerator, washing machine – everything you need. Just remember to bring your own toothbrush, toothpaste, and slippers.

The hotel is centrally located, making it convenient for both dining and getting around. There's a free tram service within the loop line. We stayed in a comfortable two-bedroom apartment with a living room, and it came fully equipped with a refrigerator, cabinets, stove, and dishes. The only downside was the lack of an in-room washing machine, and the communal laundry machines were often in use.

The hotel's location is excellent, right next to the town hall, making it easy to walk to anywhere in the city center. Although it's a 3-star hotel in an old building, the facilities are very new, the bed is soft, and there's a mini-fridge. The only downside is that the internet can be a bit slow when there are a lot of people, but that doesn't affect my overall rating!
Specious and clean room with nice view, very good breakfast, location is acceptable, DFO is just next door, the convenient store is just downstairs but price of goods is not cheap
I arrived at late check-in time on 2/11 Sunday and Mildua Inlander's staff was after office hour so I contacted to staff for room check-in by phone call, Staff are so helpful to help me to collect the room key and required admin work. However, due to the resort's layout and my room location(my room is ROOM 90), the circulation of the hotel is not poor, poor room ordering(it is not by 101 for on 1/F like typical hotel, it is using 1-50 for G/F, 51-100 for level 1; if 101-110 for block 1, 121-129 for block 2, 131-139 for block 3, 141-150 for block 4 would be better), no coherent corridor at the end, not much signage and map/easy to miss, no Lift or easy ramp for level 1. so, it is hard to find my room and poor experience before entry the room.
Room is good for me. One thing is: can consider to have openable window after the mosquito net on the balcony sliding door if I don't want to turn on the air-conditioner.

The reception, the lounge and communal kitchen is lovely and gives a warm and welcoming feeling. The gym is spacious and adequate equipment in good condition. Rooms are nice but like a usual hotel room. The large windows gave a nice view over the street and trees below. Location is next to many Asian restaurants and close to supermarkets. Trams and busses outside and two main railway stations relatively nearby.

We are a family of 5 adult and 1 infant, and we booked 2 rooms separately. We primarily chose this hotel because of the good location next to the domestic terminal and a not-so-expensive price point (compared to Parkroyal which was directly opposite the hotel). The rooms were decently-sized, nothing too luxurious as it catered mainly to travellers transferring in the airport. The hotel had a massive gym, which was surprisingly given that it was mostly empty but they had all kinds of equipment catering to all body parts. We also had breakfast at the hotel restaurant and it was OK. Not the best food, but at least it filled out stomachs with the standard spread of Western food - fruits, bread, eggs and bacons etc. All in all, would recommend this hotel if you are transitioning at Melbourne for a night and looking for an affordable yet not too shabby place to sleep!

The location is perfect. Lots of eateries and shops around. Great view. Room was clean and staff were amazing. Two of the window latches and the ice cube tray were broken. Otherwise it was great. By the way, I am still waiting for the pre-authorised deposit back. Read some reviews that can be difficult or take long to get that back, hopefully it will not be this case as I really wanna book this hotel again.
I had a fantastic stay at Ibis Styles Kingsgate Hotel. Everything about my experience was excellent. • Cleanliness: The rooms and common areas were spotless and well-maintained. It really made me feel comfortable throughout my stay. • Location: Perfectly situated, making it easy to get around and access nearby attractions, shops, and transport. • Service: The staff were friendly, helpful, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure guests had a pleasant experience. • Amenities: All the facilities I needed were available and in great condition, adding convenience and comfort to my stay. Overall, I would highly recommend this hotel, especially for solo travelers. Excellent value and a wonderful experience!
Comfortable and Convenient: A Review of Holiday Inn Express, Melbourne Holiday Inn Express in Melbourne offers an appealing option for travelers seeking a budget-friendly yet comfortable stay in the heart of the city. The hotel's location is a major advantage, providing easy access from the airport with multiple transportation options like the Skybus at $18, Uber for approximately $52, or a taxi at around $84. These choices cater to different preferences and budgets, ensuring a hassle-free journey to the hotel. One of the hotel's highlights is its proximity to Melbourne's free tram zone, allowing guests to explore the city effortlessly and without additional cost. Additionally, the availability of scooters, conveniently located right outside the hotel, adds a fun and flexible mode of transportation for guests. The rooms at Holiday Inn Express are well-maintained, showcasing neatness and comfort that align with the expectations of the brand. The reception staff deserves a special mention for their pleasant and helpful demeanor, contributing significantly to a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. However, there are areas where the hotel could enhance its offerings. The coffee served at breakfast, while adequate, could be improved either by using higher quality beans or ensuring that the brewing machines are regularly cleaned and maintained. This small change could greatly elevate the overall dining experience, particularly for guests who appreciate a good cup of coffee to start their day. Moreover, expanding the breakfast menu to include a wider variety of food options would be an attractive improvement. This would cater to diverse palates and dietary requirements, making the breakfast experience more enjoyable and satisfying for all guests. Holiday Inn Express in Melbourne offers more than just a budget stay; it provides a gateway to the city's beauty, especially its enchanting night scene. With its strategic location, excellent service, and mesmerizing views, it is an ideal choice for those seeking a blend of comfort and urban adventure in Melbourne.

Friendly receptionists with a cozy lobby area. Guest rooms are large with sufficient cutlery and furnishings. The washroom is a bit small and should be refreshed more thoroughly.

The hotel is definitely new! The service was actually pretty good... but it's strange that the hotel doesn't provide toothpaste or toothbrushes... nor does it provide bottled or purified water... They give you a coffee machine but not water, which is really odd.
