Melbourne hotels in East Melbourne

Pros: Its small and you get to know the people really fast.

Cons: The shower could be better

Pros: People are super friendly and it really is a good place to stay if you want to find friends. Lots of movies to watch for a lazy day.

Cons: The pillows did't work for me

Pros: I've definitely enjoyed my stay at Landing Pads. What makes this hostel so great is the family feeling you get with the people that live there. Everybody is welcoming from day one and the staff make sure you are enjoying your stay the hostel. Special thanks to house captain Imke, a fellow Dutchie, for making me feel super welcome and organizing so many fun activities. The weekly activities in and out of the hostel, for example family dinner on Tuesdays, are really fun and there's different things to do every week. There's also a job seekers tutorial which is really helpful if you're looking for a job. Also the hostel is very clean!

Cons: The kitchen is quite small.

Pros: Friendly staff, common spirit of accommodated backpackers, suggestions for free-time activities, assigned bags for personal food, required house rules, common area to hang out, cleaness. I wish I could find a hostel like this any place I go.

Pros: Wonderful, 'shared house feel to it' hostel close to the CBD. My second long term stay here, I would highly recommend staying here if you are thinking of living, working or simply visiting Melbourne. Small rooms of 3 or 4 people, cosy living room and awesome outside space, this truly is a wonderful place to spend your time. A booking of 1 week will likely transpire to be 3 months as you will most likely find it hard to drag yourself away.

Pros: Very nice atmosphere with the other guests and the staff. Staff was super helpful. Easy to get to know others with all the events going on. Also enough showers and toilets. Super easy check-in and check-out. You can always contact staff, so my later check-in due flight delay was no problem (which was GREAT). Train station literally 1min walk away, tram station up the street and bus stop out front. Cheap shopping possibilities in walking distance. Since it's a working hostel, there are no parties at night and you can get your sleep easily.

Cons: Kitchen area and common room are kinda small, so it gets cramped very easily. The rooms themselves are quite cold in winter and the heater doesn't help much (but that seems to be a general problem all over Melbourne). Also an experience I made (differs from room to room I guess): I had 2 roommates who were on a work-and-travel stay, so they already lived there a bit longer and treated it like their home (I know; Duh! It's a working hostel). But both girls were really messy and the already tight living spaces got even tighter. There was also no desk in the room.

Pros: This place is just amazing, I feel so lucky to have spend almost 3 weeks there. I was only supose to stay a week but I have extended twice. The Landing Pad crew is so sweet and always there for you. Everybody that live here make this place so special. I recommend without a doubt this place, for eveyone. I'll miss you Landing Pads ❤

Pros: Comfortable beds,Clean rooms and plenty of space for 3 toddlers. Exactly what we needed

Cons: If you stay in a two bedroom apartment make sure to keep the keys with you at all times. As if one of your room doors close and you are outside it won't open it needs the key to open even if you are inside the room. I mentioned this to staff.

Pros: Great breakfast, and appreciated that request for a room with a balcony and a view was granted.

Cons: No room service on a Sunday.

Pros: It was nice and handy to the MCG which is the reason we come over for the boxing day cricket.

Cons: Every thing was OK except for the air conditioning

Pros: Good location

Cons: Requested a balcony room a while before we actually stayed but didn’t get one.

Pros: The proximity to the MCG, Melbpurne Park and public transport stops. Rooms were wonderfully quiet given that the motel is right next to multiple train lines. Staff were very accommodating when we had a minor delay in departure upon checkout. Bed was comfortable and room space was plenty. The view from our room overlooking the tennis courts was exciting.

Cons: Felt a little uncomfortable leaving my keys at reception for the duration of our stay to be able to have a Carpark. But knowing that it was limited spaces, the parking cost was fair and reasonable.

Pros: Very clean, very comfortable. Very nice building arhitecture & interior design. Has a restaurant, gym and pool. Location is close to the end of the free tram zone, so no need for bus tickets. Loved our stay there.

Cons: I needed to modify my reservation, which was allowed but my type of reservation. But booking platform had some issues, so i emailed the hotel with the request. I find that they could have tried a little harder to make it happen, but they didn't want to lose money or it was easier for them to say it's not possible.

Pros: Great location , friendly staff

Cons: Parking was ok

Pros: Staff were fantastic and helpful

Cons: Old towels in bathroom Ran out of hot water quickly

Cons: Perfect location for the mcg. Friendly staff

Pros: Location for MCG is perfect

Cons: No fire alarm in the room, towel rail falling off in bathroom, bathroom door falling off rail

Pros: The closeness to the City & MCG.

Cons: Shower over spa bath in room 10. Difficult for older people.

Pros: Fine... I only have cereal, but was offered a cooked breakfast if I wanted

Cons: An en suite... we are accustomed to same, these days, but I can understand that the facility wasn't able to odernise to this extent.

Pros: That it was close to Shops and restaurants

Cons: Had a little issue with parking

Pros: Kids loved the pool. Cafe and small IGA in the complex. Interesting building. The apartment had a decent size and view.

Cons: Apartment was a little scuffed around the edges- could do with a paint touch up. New outdoor furniture also.

Pros: Wonderful value for a the location and facilities available. The pool was appreciated after a warm day at work.

Cons: Due to the design of the property it was interesting moving from 1 part to another. You had to use different lifts to move around.

Pros: did not have breakfast , Pizza place in arcade a worry guy was off his face took our order and after waiting 45 minutes said he was closing need attention .maybe have a clock in room very happy thanks

Pros: The reception team were great and did offer to upgrade us to a better room as we had a few issues with space etc and they did get us a replacement sofa bed.

Cons: Was too small for five adults, sofa bed was broken, dishwasher didn’t work and air conditioning was not sufficient and noisy for the hot Melbourne summer days. Ceiling fans would be better for each room.

Cons: They didn't give us the apartment we booked.

Pros: Location

Cons: Stuffy, no air flow

Pros: Great location near tram, shopping, excellent indian & Pizza restaurants very close. No room service/cleaning during our stay which i like but others may not. Also combo locks on doors no keys to lose.

Cons: extremely slow wifi, sometimes a bit noisy.

Cons: Hotel is completely run down, apparently about to be renovated but all public areas closed and each room just accessible by pin code. No staff on site. Requested us to text credit card details! Did not feel safe and did not stay

Pros: Very clean room, nice equipped and really quiet to rest

Cons: Netflix on tv and internet didn't work

Pros: Nothing.

Cons: Its a abandoned pub that is not up to code. No working facilities. Nothing works and the place is not cleaned properly. No hot water. You get in by calling a mobile phone number on cardboard at a door. I've called Melbourne City Council to investigate.

Cons: Very unclean. Smell of smoke

Pros: Nothing. The room and hotel was putrid.

Cons: Everything. Firstly, the hotel is closed down. There are no staff on the premises to check you in or to assist. I had to call a number on the door when I arrived to get a code to enter, but it took over half an hour to get through to the manager. After finally getting in, the smell in our room (room 8) was one of the foulest smells I've ever encountered. The hotel felt unsafe, the facilities were disgusting and the whole vibe of the place was dismal and depressing. We didn't last 5 minutes in the room before having to abandon ship and search for alternate accommodation, due to the putrid stench alone. Good luck getting any kind of response from the management either. I tried cancelling on the day but my request was treated as an inquiry (they replied at nearly midnight which didn't give me a chance to respond on the night of my booking) and I haven't had any response from my follow-ups since. If you have any kind of self-respect, do yourself a favour and keep scrolling... Put some extra dollars into somewhere at least half decent.

Pros: The location

Cons: It was fine there were no problems
