List of the best Melbourne accommodation options
There are literally hundreds of places to stay in Melbourne and to save you some time, and hopefully some money, I’ve researched the best Melbourne accommodation options and narrowed down your choices to a few select properties.
If you are planning to visit Melbourne for the first time, I’ve created a list of the best options for 3, 4,and 5 star hotels, apartments, and hostels, and for every type of traveler from budget, to mid-level, to luxury.
I’ve focused the location of the properties within Melbourne city centre (CBD) so you can walk to the main attractions, restaurants, cafes, bars, and have easy access to Melbourne’s public transport system.
You can stay further out of the city to save some money, but sometimes the trade-off between saving money and saving time on commuting by being central to the action cancels each other out, particularly on short getaways!
For my list below, each property had to meet a specific criteria and for my research I used the Booking.com website.
Why book your Melbourne accommodation with Booking.com?
I like that you can book a variety of accommodation types on the one website – hotels, apartments, hostels, even vacation homes – and I love how simple their website is to use!
Booking.com is the world leader in booking accommodation online and has over 800,000 properties worldwide, and over 600 in Melbourne. There’s a lot of competition on Booking.com which creates lower prices so hopefully you can find some Melbourne hotels deals!
You get free cancellation on most rooms, and a best price guarantee. Plus, they have verified reviews from guests who have actually stayed at the property!
We are partners with Booking.com, which means we’ll receive a small commission should you choose to book through the links on our site. We book our own accommodation through them, which is why we recommend them to you as our preferred accommodation provider.
