Hotels near Princess Theater, Melbourne

Built in 1883, this hotel is still in operation and surrounded by many attractions. St Paul's Cathedral and the central train station are within walking distance. The breakfast is a set menu with options, and it's delicious. The hotel staff are very enthusiastic.

We arrived at 9.30am. the room was cleaned by 10am. and staff allow us to check in early without any charge! They offered to upgrade the room from king bedroom suite to be Triple for us. There is no deposit required. Staffs are really nice & polite. Room is clean , big bath tub , well function air conditioning & heater, no smelt, no slipper, no tooth brush & tooth paste (no worry, there is Chemist warehouse & 7-11 nearby) As the hotel is close to Parliament station (Tram & Train). If you would like to safe the money travelling from MEL airport to the hotel, you should catch airport bus #901 and Train at Broadmeadows station (city loop) to Parliament station. It is also CONVENIENCE in case of you booked for private group tour , The Windsor hotel is the nearest pick up/drop off point. The view at night is so beautiful as the Parliament & Old treasury building are illuminated. There is cheap & tasty food court nearby (Paramount food court). Safe place for woman. I'd stay here again for my next trip in MEL.

The room is clean and location is very convenient within walking distance to many attractions in the city. The buffet breakfast is good value for money and delicious with choices of hot and cold breakfasts. The downside is that the bed is too soft for us. Also unpleasant experience with communication of hotel staff about the offer for a breakfast box in place of paid buffet breakfast which we can decide any time we were back for the day, was denied later saying this should be confirmed before 10pm. There was no follow up call or email despite the documented “unconfirmed” request. Also our request to grab something simple quickly was also rejected saying that it was a sit down breakfast and not supposed for take away. Not being helpful at all.

The hotel manager provided absolutely amazing service. I left some clothes behind at the hotel, which also had a lot of cash in them. When I called, the manager immediately located my items and kept in constant contact with me to verify my details, ensuring everything would be returned safely to me.

👍 The Ibis Melbourne Central Hotel's location is absolutely perfect! It's super convenient for transport, being so close to the central station and all the major attractions. The hotel facilities are new, the room is spacious and bright, and the bedding is comfortable. The front desk staff are very enthusiastic and promptly helped solve any issues. Plus, the breakfast is great!

Very comfortable and spacious apartment in a central location. Had a nice stay at the property and it was fant.astic value. Requested an early check-in, which did cost half the price of an overnight stay which was a bit of a costly let down, and also had the request for late checkout rejected - which was also disappointing. Construction in the building was a bit of a nuisance, particularly regarding the elevator, which seemed to have troubles of its own without the constant usage by tradies travelling up and down throughout the day. Despite these minor inconveniences it was a very comfortable stay at a lovely apartment that I would certainly come back ro

I didn't pay attention to the room type when booking and ended up reserving an accessible room. I was a bit surprised when I entered. After confirming with the front desk, I realized it was my mistake and we couldn't change rooms, so we decided to make the best of it. The room's location was excellent, very close to the bustling streets and the station, with a super popular Italian ice cream shop right downstairs. Needing to swipe a key card to enter and exit the hotel at night added an extra layer of security. Our room design was very comfortable, balancing aesthetics with being perfectly suited for guests in wheelchairs. It was incredibly thoughtful, with an oversized bathroom, accessible pathways, toilet, and sink all set up according to requirements. The room also had thick bathrobes, which proved to be genuinely useful. Furthermore, Kim, the hotel lobby manager, was very friendly and provided us with advice and assistance. We saw other reviews claiming she discriminated against Chinese people, but we absolutely did not feel that way; on the contrary, we found her to be very nice. A new cafe just opened on the first floor of the hotel. It's very popular and reportedly a well-known brand. It will be supplying breakfast for the hotel in the future. Although we didn't eat there, it certainly smelled delicious.

The room was very quiet, and the bathroom was spotless. The kitchen area was large and well-equipped. They have a cinema, study room, rooftop, kitchen, and gym. The night view from the rooftop is absolutely stunning.

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!

We stayed here for two nights and three days. The main advantage of this location is its proximity to Queen Victoria Market. Unfortunately, we visited around Easter, and the market was only open on the Saturday in between. Luckily, we made it on that day; otherwise, staying here would have felt a bit pointless. Regarding the room: 1. Space and amenities (a) We booked a triple room with two beds (one double, one single). (b) The overall flow of the room felt a bit cramped, with a table, luggage rack, and wardrobe. (c) The fridge provided a complimentary bottle of milk daily, seemingly for coffee. You could request more if needed. 2. Bathroom facilities The bathroom was fairly standard, nothing particularly special. However, it did have a shower screen for wet/dry separation, which kept the bathroom fresh. 3. Downsides The single bed wasn't properly fixed; any movement or sitting on it would cause the entire bed to shift. Overall, the location is still great. On this trip, I booked three hotels in different parts of the Free Tram Zone. In this area (the northern part), you can find many Asian restaurants and supermarkets, as well as the market. Due to heavy rain during our stay, we didn't venture further north to Melbourne University. Near there, you'll find the Old Melbourne Gaol and Lygon Street (Little Italy), which has many Italian restaurants that I’d highly recommend. Regarding hotel service: While the hotel offered a buffet, we didn't purchase it and opted to eat out. A minor regret is that the service here was just average. As it's an Ibis, part of a large hotel group, the prices are relatively affordable, and they handle a high volume of guests daily. Consequently, the staff's attitude felt rather indifferent during check-in or when storing our luggage. That pretty much sums it up; I'll leave the rest for others to experience.
