Best Western Plus Travel Inn Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Super friendly, helpful staff. Nice sized clean rooms. Nice outdoor pool and seating area. Only very minor complaint is no rail to hold when getting into the pool. "

Oaks Melbourne on Market Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is our 4th stay at this hotel and we really like the location. It's walkable to everywhere in the city and the public transport is very accessible from the hotel. It's very comfortable, spacious and clean. We always choose the no housekeeping which adds to value for money. Staff are always lovely. That's why we keep going back. "
