The City Centre Budget Hotel is located in a very convenient area of Melbourne with easy access to the MCG, Chinatown and there are also plenty of cafes, pubs and restaurants within close proximity. The free City Circle Tram is short stroll to the Parliament end of Little Collins Street. The rooms: My mate and I, who were on a... More

From the outside, it seems very unimpressive; almost American in its brick layout and entrance, being right next to a parking building. But as they say, appearances can be deceptive. I was in a nice room with a double bed, large TV, free wifi, small fridge, etc. all to myself. This small hotel has been refurbished, which shows in the... More

We were pleasantly delighted by just about everything about our stay in this small quiet hotel. I was six months pregnant when staying here and just wanted a comfy home base from which to explore Melbourne. We stayed in the studio suite and were perfectly content. I've recommended this place to all my friends when they visit Melbourne. It may... More

... as also "kwm00re" wrote, the City Centre Budget Hotel is rather a hostel, which did not bother us, as we already knew about the shared bathrooms and kitchen before. The hotel has a great location in Little Collins Street - you always stay just around the corner! ;) Our cosy room in the 2nd floor was a little small,... More

We stayed in this hotel after a long drive along the eastcoast. The room was big enough for us (twin room) and clean, it has a fridge and a fan. No AC, but it was relativly cold in Melbourne, so it is ok. The guy at the reception, can't remember his name, helped us on how to get to the... More

We stayed in a room that we were lead to believe was bigger than it is. The bunk bed was not the safest by any means. The shared bathroom was tidy in the arfternoon but by the evening the sight of someones vomit clogging up the plug hole was just not nice. The nosie level from outside the building was... More

Pros The rooms are small, but manageable. The linen is clean It's quiet and central Cons Bathrooms are grungy Most of the fixtures leak or don't really work The roof top terrace is run down and is more of just furniture on the roof than anything else. The kitchen is poorly equipped and difficult to cook anything more complicated than... More

Stayed here for 2 nights on a road trip to Adelaide to visit family before Christmas. We weren't sure as the opinions seemed to vary so much but we found a nice comfortable hotel - close to Burke St Mall & with different types of food readily available nearby. We - unlike some of the other reviews - liked the... More

this hotel is not like the pictures at all. its pretty run down and not worth the money. there are other options in melbourne cbd for the same money which are much higher quality. the roof terrace is not very nice either. there is no "vibe" at all, so definitely don't stay here if you want to meet people.
