My second stay with the Travelodge Southbank in Feb 09 - this time in Rm 108. As in my previous review - the Travelodge is a functional and practical hotel experience at an excellent bang for buck price, in a handy location to Melbourne's cultural heartland. I paid $129 for my one night stay - room was again functional and... more

It's been said by others but I echo their comments. We stayed for 7 nights and if you just need a clean, convenient place to stay, look no further. You are within walking distance of transportation, restaurants, bars, and even the Crown casino. It's a Travelodge and not the Four Seasons so expect a smallish room but it has a... more

After reading reviews on this site and others of Travelodge Southbank, my husband and I would have to agree with the consensus of opinion - what a gem for a very reasonable price in the heart of the city. We stayed there four nights and it was such a great base to either walk to the city across the nearby... more

The Travelodge Southbank is a great value for the money. It is a no-frills hotel that is located right in the middle of the Southbank development along the Yarra River. There are no real views from the hotel, there is no restaurant (although there is a breakfast room) or bar, but it is in a well-suited location if you are... more

I stayed 2 nights in this hotel in March 2009 as part of a package tour of New Zealand and Australia, so cannot comment on the room cost but can make observations on the facilities etc and compare it to all the other 'same-standard' 3* or so hotels I stayed in. The hotel is a narrow high-rise located on a... more

Firstly, the Travelodge is in a lovely location one block back from the Yarra River and smack in the middle of Southbank. It is convenient to Southbank businesses and all the nightlife along the river. The rooms are good. The beds are reasonable, although a little firm for my liking, and the linen is average. The rooms themselves are not... more

We stayed one night in Melbourne before leaving for Cairnes. The Hotel is next to the river which has numerous restaurants and shops within a short walking distance. The tram system is also five minute away so the location is perfect to see the city. The room was very nice and certainly is far superior to most Travelodge rooms in... more

Room was spacious with sofa,table & chairs,microwave,kettle,& very clean. Overall the standard was higher than some far more expensive hotels. Within walking distance of the city centre with lots of bars/restaurants very close.Pay-as-you go I T access in the lobby. Good value help yourself breakfast available every morning. Overall an excellent choice if you need a base in the city... more

Stayed 3 nights and hotel was great. Room was good size and well equipped, including kit for self-catering. Hotel had laundry facilities so was good for short or long stay. Reception staff were helpful and price for stay was good. Breakfast was an excellent full English in self-service dining room. Hotel is a minute away from bars and restaurants on... more
