Location, cleanliness, breakfast A bit noisy in the early hours of the morning. This hotel is in an excellent location at South Bank, close to heaps of fantastic bars and restaurants and just a short walk to Melbourne city and the Convention Centre. The rooms were clean, comfortable and modern and the breakfasts were excellent value and absolutely delicious. Staff were very friendly and helpful.
Restaurant Tip : Wander along Southbank at night for many different restaurant choices.

Helpful reception staff, price, location, microwave, sink, laundry room on floors 3 & 8. Expensive in-room internet. Very basic amenities. The Travelodge Southbank proved to be a relatively enjoyable stay. Despite its convenient location, I found the rooms to be a little too bare and basic. Don't get me wrong, it was a satisfactory experience. I highly doubt the hotel will blow you away. The only thing separating the shower from the toilet was a shower curtain. Unfortunately, the shower curtain was a thin fabric and had some mold growing on it. I was not a fan of the thin walls as I could hear the people in the next room talking at 1:00 am. The Travelodge Southbank will provide you with a basic room in a great location, but don't expect much else.

Central location; affordable; friendly service; good value for money Travelodge Melbourne is centrally located on the Southbank of the Yarra. A footbridge across the river takes you quickly into Federation Square and the heart of the CBD. The style of the hotel is no-nonsense. Service was very friendly. Breakfast can be bought in the hotel restaurant or around the corner (across the river). Altogether an excellent economy choice.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : Great evening walk along the Yarra River

Close to the shopping area, such as City, art centre. The extra bed was not comfortable. We had a good time during our visit, the staff were helpful in giving direction. The hotel price is reasonable.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : Traveling with the City Circle is the most enjoyable trip where we can reach many places in Melbourne in such short visit.

Location and convenience. This hotel is just one block from the Yarra River and Melbourne's Southbank. It's a great place to walk and has all kinds of restaurants. It's also near many parks and gardens. The free tourist shuttle is a block away, and a central tram station is right over the river. My room had a refrigerator, microwave and dishes so I could eat some meals in the room. It was clean and quiet. I'd recommend it highly.
Hotel Feature Tip : Kitchenette allowed you to eat in the room.

Central position
Very friendly and helpful staff from reception to cleaning staff
Kitchenette was useful
Good sized double room
Very reasonable price
Didn't dislike anything except view onto wall of building which didn't really worry us unduly. A toaster would have been good in the room although Reception staff kindly allowed us to use the toaster in the breakfast room when required. We will certainly use this hotel every time we travel to Melbourne in the future. We were first-time users and had read reviews of other travellers in which almost all were happy with it and we would have to agree. The position is its best feature as it is in Southbank, close to the river, the centre of the city, trains, trams and buses. Even the free shuttle bus stops nearby. The room was larger in size than we expected and most comfortable. We heard no noise at all the four nights we were there and it was useful to be able to heat up light meals in the microwave. There were a variety of restaurants and take-away cafes/coffee shops nearby and a small (if expensive) supermarket within a minute's walk for groceries. Overall, it was excellent value.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : We enjoyed a self-guided (with brochure from Visitors' Centre) tour of arcades and lanes for 1-1/2 hours where we learned some interesting history and facts about Melbourne.

Very good location on the Southbank, close to Southgate, Crown Casino, Flinders Street and the main areas of interest nothing really, if you are after luxury and pampering, this is not the hotel for you The Travelodge Southbank is ideally placed and is within walking distance of pretty much most of what you'll need for your stay in Melbourne. The hotel itself is clean, rooms are well appointed and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel is located next to the Eureka Skytower and the immediate area was very safe, secure and mostly quiet. The Southgate Centre is about a minute or two walk and the Crown Casino food court is within walking distance too. You could even have food delivered to your room if you so wish, with dishes and cutlery provide and there's a microwave too

Location! Just a few steps from Southgate and the Yarra riverfront. Tons of restaurants, shopping, and buskers for entertainment. If you are disabled, the hotel is wheelchair-friendly. If you need one, ask for an accessible room. An inexpensive tourist-class hotel. No bell service, rooms on the small side. Largest beds are queen size. Don't count on a view room. My wife and I have stayed here four different years during the Australian Open Tennis Championships. The room rates are very reasonable, and the location is fantastic for us. We are older, and have trouble walking long distances. There is plenty to see and do close to the hotel. The hotel is not very old, and the rooms are small, but nice. Every year we have stayed, the staff was on the young side, pleasant, friendly, and competent.
Restaurant Tip : The food court in SouthGate is excellent for lunch, and there are a number of excellent restaurants in SouthGate for dinner. A half-kilometer walk gets you to the Crown Casino and entertainment center.

Location, price, friendly staff, great breakfast. This time even though we had booked a twin room, we only had a double bed and a pullout sofa which my 24 year old son had to sleep on. He finds that a little uncomfortable. Once again i enjoyed another stay at the travelodge. The convenience to restaurants is wonderful and to the train, also with the location being so central, it was easy to walk to the rod laver arena for the tennis and we went to a show at her majesties theatre which we were also able to walk to. I have lost count now how many times we have stayed at the travelodge but the staff are always very friendly even at their busiest times.

Great location, friendly staff always ready to help. Restaurants and convenience stores nearby.
The breakfasts are lovely
No room service available, have to order from outside restaurants and a fee is charged for delivery. We always enjoy our stay at the travelodge and even when it is at its busiest time, the staff are always courteous and very friendly and will help with any question we might have. We have always been able to check in a little earlier than the normal time as often we arrive at different times due to flying in from perth. The convenience of being near the trains and all the restaurants in southbank, plus the nearness to the casino and a quick walk into the city, makes it the most convenient hotel in melbourne. The hotel is also very quiet and not caught up in the rush of the city.

We enjoy staying at the travelodge at southbank melbourne due to its location, the size of the rooms as it accomodates 3 adults which is useful for us and the reasonable price. No room service, food has to be ordered from outside and extra fees are charged for delivery. No coffee shop. We have stayed at the travelodge a lot of times now as our daughter and her husband live in Melbourne. The staff are very friendly and helpful at all times and we were very happy that we could leave our extra luggage with them as we toured back and forth three times during our last visit. It is very handy having a 7/11 store near by and having the microwave in the room. The facilities are always nice and clean and as we often catch the midnight flight from Perth, the hotel has been able to accommodate us earlier than the normal check in time which is wonderful when tired.

-Great location
- What you expect from Travelodge - clean, comfy, nice room with fridge, tv etc.
-Friendly, helpful staff Great location, close to fed square full of restaurants, bars, food court and shopping, close to the river and a short walk into the city.
If you wanted breakfast in the hotel it's expensive considering you are staying in a travelodge but there is a food court by the river and cafes in the city, there is a cafe next door but the food has a quite strange taste.
Overall a great stay, value for money in a superb location - a great place to see Melbourne.
