Top 5 Guest house in Melbourne

394 Collins Street (entrance, off Queen St, Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia

“Great hotel. We arrived late and after hours i was shocked to see the place was gated. Luckily another guest was leaving and we managed to get in and used the phone to get our keys from a drop box. Just a tip, if you are flying in late make …”

19 Little Bourke St, Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia

“Stayed one night for work and would definitely come back. The rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable. The lolly bar and happy hour drinks are a nice touch and the service was friendly and efficient. Location was perfect for me - close to work, quiet but also close to great cafes and restaurants.”

399 Little Lonsdale St, Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia

“The "automatic" check in was problematic - declining 2 credit cards several times. Quite stressful considering the situation of trying to book in and possibly not being accepted. I then went to one of the check in staff for help. He was very cheerful and helpful, and allayed my stress and fears. [I wish I kept his name to give credit where it was due. Thank you, kind and cheerful Sir.] The card was accepted via the manual method and check-in proceeded. The room was very clean and well kept, and the bed comfortable. Breakfast (level 2) was more than could be asked for, and the friendliness of the staff again allowed for great start to the day. The hotel is in a relatively quiet location and that also allows for a good night's sleep.”

44 Brunswick St, Fitzroy VIC 3065, Australia

“This was a gem of a hotel and great staff. It's rooms were pleasant and clean and everything worked. The pool was perfect for cooling off on a hot Melbourne day with shaded areas throughout the day. Secure off street parking, elevator to all levels from the basement carpark. A short stroll to cafes and grocery shopping. Trams just outside the hotel entrance. The restaurant was unfortunately closed during our stay.”

66 Lygon St, Carlton VIC 3053, Australia

“Good location. Handy for Italian restaurants, groceries and shopping. The adjacent wine bar is lovely. My stay was enjoyable :) The only thing I can fault is the layout (it’s old school motel style) so it’s not very sound proof - if someone is checking out/in you’ll hear their bags rolling. Also, the bathrooms have see through doors so if you’re sharing and that’s an issue, keep that in mind.”

23-33 Lonsdale St, Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia

“Booked a 3 bedroom apartment, received a room with 2 single beds. After 2 hours of discussion nothing came of it so one of us had to sleep on the couch. Took almost an hour to check in. Lobby was dirty and unwelcoming. All-round poor experience.”

221 Rosslyn St, West Melbourne VIC 3003, Australia

“Absolutely perfect experience. Firstly, we arrived late at night around 2am, gave a call, and they provided us with the key just a minute later . Secondly, rooms are in perfect condition and you can find literally everything there including washing machine and a dryer. Everything is brand new and smells good. Actually, it is not an ordinary room, but a small, cozy apartment. Finally, the location is great, walking distance from city center. Additionally, you can use a free tram to get there. Yes, they do no not serve the room every day, but it was not an issue for us. The week we spent there was really delightful. Hope we'll be back. Wish you all the best.”

14 Kavanagh St, Southbank VIC 3006, Australia

“Wonderful with a very clean and comfortable room, staff was also very helpful couldn’t fault them at all. Was upgraded to a two bed room apartment after realising two 16 yr olds girls and mum wouldn’t do well in one queen bed, don’t know …”

250 Elizabeth St, Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia

“This place is walking distance to all the downtown shops. The fabulous Melbourne library is a block away (seriously go check it out) and of course food is just around the corner. We rented a suite at a very affordable price and they provided a cot for our little love. The room was clean and spacious. Every time we entered the lobby, we were greeted with a smile. My only complaint (which is nothing on the company) is the lighted billboard outside the window is awful. Make sure to close the curtains well.”

10 Claremont St, South Yarra VIC 3141, Australia

“I have stayed at the South Yarra apartments a number of times. Excellent rooms that are always very clean. The kitchen and laundry in the apartments is a huge help when staying multiple nights. Nice balconies to sit on after work for a drink. Very friendly staff.”

116 Nicholson St, Fitzroy VIC 3065, Australia

“Having stayed in numerous hostels across Australia, the Nunnery is by FAR the best I’ve stayed in! The staff are SO incredible, I’ve never stayed somewhere where they genuinely seem to care as much as these guys do! I intended to stay a couple weeks, ended up staying a month and would do it all over again. Made some amazing friends here too, could not recommend it enough for people wanting to build a base network in Melbourne! The area is awesome too for both day and night life; Fitzroy in general is so cool and quirky! Could genuinely write a whole essay about why you should go, so I’ll end by saying… you’d be making a serious mistake booking a different hostel!”
