Top Melbourne Zoo Hotel Reviews

Mercure Melbourne La Trobe Street

10/10 Excellent

"Room with balcony was a bonus, only bad part was the balcony was next to the big vents so they were a tad noisy at night. Room feel was exceptional, I would stay here again."

Pegasus Apart'Hotel

8/10 Good

"Central - comfortable - helpful staff -"

Atlantis Hotel, Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, close to southern cross train station, and a great variety of restaurants nearby. Great facilities, gym, pool and sauna. Very clean, tidy and great staff"

Oaks Melbourne Flemington Suites

10/10 Excellent

"When you arrive there is no indication the building is where you are staying. You have to physically walk in to see any recognisable signage. The building does get locked in the evening. It would be easy for an individual to panic & walk away or phone a taxi if it were dark. I was fortunate to have a view of the city. Take that away the room fluctuates in temperature so you have to use the air conditioning.Help is there if you struggle like i do but I got there in the end. You have to buy what you need for your stay for cleaning etc. Shop below tram link right outside train station 5-10 minute walk away. You share the building this is not a monestry. With the room: A lick of paint wouldn't go amiss. The staff are very helpful & always around. A good place to stay easy to get around coffee shops & Fast food outlets nearby."
