Basic hotel close to the train station. Not the closest to the city center but accessible by foot (20min). Big room with lit of space. Bed was comfy. Bathroom was practical.

A bit weird to have to wait so much to get the lift each time, something needs to be fixed there. Breakfast needs to be improved, very poor ingredient & quality - shame to be in a country like Australia and to get frozen fruits without any taste.

Clean, well sized room, was a very comfortable stay 1 night stay for a good price. Really good breakfast buffet, would recommend!

Forgot to bring toothbrush/toothpaste and couldn't get any until the next day (hotel room and reception doesn't have any).

Excellent location, very central to lots of places in Melbourne. The buffet breakfast was good. Most of the staff were lovely and helpful. The room was clean and tidy. No complaints.

The breakfast buffet finishes at 9.30 am. One morning, there were 4 groups of people that came in at 9.30 am, and the lady (staff) put up a BIG fuss that they couldn't eat, and breakfast was closed. It didn't impact me, although I recommend they have breakfast until 10 am as there seems to be a demand by a lot of guests.. Also, sometimes there aren't enough people at the front desk. A couple of times, I had to wait 15-20 minutes to be served. On one occasion, I went to my room, and the room key had stopped working. I went down to reception and had to wait 20 minutes to be served so I could reenter my room.

Very spacious room, I could have my large suitcase open all the time. One of the closest hotels to Skybus terminal so it’s a big plus for catching an early morning flight. I enjoyed the buffet breakfast, classic and delicious. The self-service laundry with detergents provided was very helpful.

The aircon in some of the rooms could be very noisy and there was no way to turn it off! I have stayed in two different rooms, the aircon noise in the first one was unbearable and I had to use earplugs when I went to sleep. The second room was much quieter and I did have a good rest.

Big, comfortable room with all the necessary amenities. The included breakfast was delicious and great value for money. Staff were friendly and always happy to help. I had a late flight out of Melbourne and they stored my luggage for the day. Location was excellent; so close to Spencer St station and easy walking distance to the centre of the CBD or down to Southbank. Also next to Marvel Stadium and a gym.

King bed was two singles pushed together, which made sitting in the middle to watch tv etc difficult. Bathroom sink slow to drain but staff were attentive to this when reported.

I thought that this hotel was absolutely excellent. Located just a few minutes walk from Southern Cross train station (also where the airport buses are), this made an excellent base for exploring Melbourne's CBD and surrounding areas. The room was spacious, the bed was really comfortable (and massive for a solo traveller😆), the bathroom was extremely well equipped. It was excellent value for money too, especially with breakfast included. Breakfast was delicious every morning too, with a coffee machine, juices, fruit, cereals, pancakes, and a buffet selection. It's also very useful to have the fridge, microwave and kettle in the room, especially if you're sticking to a budget for other meals. The staff were all so friendly and helpful, from breakfast staff to those on reception. I simply couldn't recommend this hotel enough.

Whilst I enjoyed my stay, there were a couple of things that caught my attention. The lifts were really slow - not a massive issue, but breakfast time could get a bit congested. Additionally, one morning at breakfast there seemed to be some sort of fire drill, without any alarms but all the fire doors were closed, lifts were out of action and the stairwell is behind fire doors too. It wasn't addressed by staff when we eventually got down to breakfast either! Nothing that majorly affected my stay though, if I'm back in Melbourne, I will absolutely return.

The location is a very central location. Nice and close to Southern Cross Station. Easy to navigate around from the hotel. Breakfast was good, a great variety to choose from. The staff were friendly and accommodating.

The cleaning of the room was average. Beds not made daily unless we asked. When the towels were changed we kept missing face washers or hand towels. Had to ask for the body wash to be filled up when it was empty. Our door key stopped working on multiple occasions. Had to go up and down many times get the keys fixed.

Location was amazing. 2 minute walk from southern cross station made easy access to the trains and trams to explore the city. All the staff we dealt with were fabulous. We arrived before check in time with the purpose of just dropping our bags and were able to check in early. We accidentally set the privacy lock on our door, reception and management were lovely and efficient to getting us back in, no bother at all. We also left our luggage for the day after checkout and again, very friendly service.

The facilities were very basic in the rooms. In saying that, we booked the most basic of all rooms and only used it for sleep. Not a complaint, just the reality of getting what you pay for.

Just the location, close to Southern Cross station.

Even though the booking was confirmed to Travelodge, but no payment was made or received to Travelodge. Thus we had to pay cash to secure a room ASAP so we can check in early after a long disruption with XPT. Even though we had an accessible room, there was no additional small foldup/down side bed table. You have to wash your own cutlery and plates. Air conditioning was terrible, adjusting the temperature to low it was still hot, no fresh air, just aircon. Flow of shower water gets over the floor tile line and have to request for extra towels to mop up water. Skin lotion was not fragrance free.

We were attending the Australian Open Tennis in January so stayed two nights. The Travelodge was conveniently located very close to Southern Cross Station and in close proximity to Melbourne CBD and the sporting complex including the Tennis Centre. We were able to walk everywhere we went. A buffet breakfast was available for an additional cost - we paid and enjoyed the array of food available. Restaurant facilities were close by for dinner options. The atmosphere was very quiet throughout our stay.

The property (ie signage and dirty windows) looks a little shabby from the outside (but once inside was great!). The twin room beds were typical twin size - we are used to a twin room having larger twin beds - often double bed in size. Mattresses were rather soft. There were no extra pillows or blankets in the room - it’s good to have extras available.
