I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel which we stayed in at the beginning of January for 4 nights. The room was quite spacious, well equipped with a nice sized bed. The hotel itself felt clean and spacious. The best part was the location of the property on the riverbank across a bridge from the main hub with plenty of restaurants located nearby. Given all of this I would very happily stay here again and certainly recommend it.

Due to several Christmas celebrations, we had reason to stay in the City for two nights during December. Our friends, travellers from Lyon in France, had stayed here for 4 nights in 2010 and said what excellent accommodation and ideal location they had staying at The Travelodge in Southbank. So with this advice, we reserved two nights at this hotel, mainly due to the central location. To our surprise the cost of the two nights, purchased on-line and very reasonable for that time of the year, came with a delicious buffet breakfast. Although there is no gymnasium or pool at this hotel, I was informed by reception that guests can use these facilities at The Madina Hotel, located about 10 minutes away. I didn't take them up on this offer but felt this was a reasonable offer for those guests wanting these facilities. The reception staff were efficient and polite and the young lady taking care of the breakfast area kept everything clean and topped-up. Definitely recommend this hotel for the location and the breakfast.

Stayed here as it was reasonably close to the Tennis arenas for the Australian Open. Good location, approx 15 min walk to Tennis Arenas.
Close to Southbank where there are lovely restaurants, for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Relaxed atmosphere along the Yarra River.
Hotel was adequate. Beds were comfortable. Added bonus having a microwave in room. Only basic toiletries provided. No body lotion or showercap. Other room doors slammed and shook the walls in our room....that was annoying.
Overall, hotel was ok.

I stay here frequently for business and this is an ideal base for visitors.
The hotel is a very short walk from the main attractions and ideally located for the Southbank restaurants and attractions.
Whilst basic in its main facilities ( no bar or restaurant ) the rooms are always clean and comfortable with cable tv,fridge, tea and coffee and the usual extras you need now days-iron and ironing board. A decent buffet breakfast can be bought for extra but this is the only in-house food. However there are lots of restaurants locally that will deliver and if you are on holiday this is more fun.
Flinder's station and the shopping area is a two minute stroll across the river.
If you are looking for a reasonable priced hotel in the city centre i would highly recommend this one
