Hotels Near Royal Arcade in Melbourne

This is the funniest Pullman hotel I've ever stayed in. It's small and I can't believe this is the Pullman hotel I've stayed in several times in China before. The orientation of the hotel room is also very bad. You can see the walls of other houses and the light is relatively dim. The breakfast is OK, and the front desk service is OK. The location is pretty good, right in Melbourne's Chinatown, which is a relatively prosperous place.

We were warmly welcomed and assist with the check in by jays. She is friendly and polite making the check in an ease. The room was clean and spacious, the bed were very comfortable. Air con was working well. There’s a kitchen component which was handy as I like fruits. Our room is on the 9 floor and facing very closely to the next building which I felt a little watched. The hotel has a gym and a semi heated indoor pool and sauna which is lovely, you can go anytime without checking the weather. Trams just right below and eateries around, very convenient. On our last day, it was raining and Desmond went beyond and above to shelter us with umbrella to our cab. I had a good deal with the platform I booked with and I think it was value for money for us and we enjoyed ourselves at the hotel. Highly recommend :)

We had a good time at Grand Hyatt during the summer - Christmas, boxing day test and Yarra Valley vineyard. Everything was very accessible from here. Especially the famous Lune cafe is just in front of the hotel. Make sure you get their corner units, it had a great panaroma view.

I had a lovely stay at Brady Hotel! The location is fantastic, making it easy to explore the area, and the staff were absolutely amazing—friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. The room was comfortable and well-equipped, but one thing to watch out for is the shower design. Since it doesn’t have a door, water tends to spill out, which can be a bit inconvenient. Aside from that, everything else was great, and I would definitely stay here again!

The hotel is three stars plus, but due to the Australian Open, the room rate is very expensive, more expensive than the five-star hotel I stayed in Sydney, and it does not include breakfast, so I think it is not worth it. Let me first say the good things, the beautiful waitress at the front desk is very nice, and the room is cleaned on time every day. The location of the hotel is also good. There are a lot of bad things. The room is not big, and the bathroom is even smaller. I don’t know if the bath towel should be thrown on the ground after taking a shower, anyway, there is no basket or anything to put it. I stayed for eight nights and basically didn’t change the sheets because there was a stain on the sheets that had always been there. I didn’t point it out, and I thought that the one I slept on might be cleaner than the one I changed. I don’t trust this hotel very much. The bed was also made in a mess, and the mattress was off to where it went, and it was not made straight, so I pulled it myself every day. The cups were not cleaned, and there were tea stains. With such an expensive room rate, even free bottled water was not provided, and I bought water to drink every day.

Excellent location in the downtown, close to everything: free tram to skybus to the airport, Victoria state library, museums, restaurants and theaters … Friendly and helpful staff, fully equipped kitchen with everything needed and spacious dining space, a beautiful terrace for open space at 5th floor very clean bathrooms

The hotel is over 100 years old and exudes elegance. The facilities are a bit old but they are well maintained. The front desk and concierge services are great, especially the concierge who is always responsive! It is also close to AO and can be reached on foot. It is also very convenient to go to other places in the city.

Nice spacious rooms with in-room washer and dryer, as well as a kitchenette. Location is pretty decent as the hotel is located at an intersection which serves North-South and East-West trams. Although its right next to Flinders Street, we did not experience any loud noises from the street or trams to disturb our sleep. Only gripe was that the hotel only had 1 functioning elevator and it could take awhile during peak movement times. Would definitely still recommend~

The location is fabulous. Walking distance to 2 train stops which can take you to the city, to St Kilda and beyond, to Docklands. Southern Cross Station is only a 6-min walk and there is 7-11 and a few kebab restaurants along the street. Room is spacious and comfortable. There is no housekeeping; only a towel change. Kitchen is fully equipped if you need to cook and I like having a washer/dryer during my stay. My negatives about my stay is that there is no hair dryer provided and toilet sink has mold in the corners (which is quite a put off). I was on the 16th floor so had no issues with noise from the trains/trams. Overall, a good stay and great service from the front desk staff!

alright not really all about this reviewer life but considering i spend 10 days i figured id give my experience so yall can decide better. will be sorting my scores thru ff criterias bellow: 1. LOCATION⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: it literally at the edge of the “free tram zone” that Melbourne CBD has. it is one free tram ride away to your postcard landmark, Flinders Station. 5 min walk to Southern Cross for all your out-of-Melbourne trips, including the airport skybusses. Theres a pub in the first floor for food and drinks, a 7/11 round the corner, and a liquor store, pizza, vietnamese restaurant, and a kebab all withinh walking distance. Its practically perfect for its price location-wise. 2. BLDG and AMENITIES: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ You can tell the bldg is old. Walls were obviously too thin than regular bldgs since I visitied MEL during the winter seasom and was heavily dependent on the heater, which works splendidly! They have a guest laundry room, where for 5AUD, you can get a big load of laundry done. the only downside is it’s literally located in a sort of maze around the back of the building, so if youre like me and you forget ur laundry bag, youre gonna have to parade around like a fashion model dressed by french-japanese model from comme de garscons. I also had an issue with the key access during after-hours entry, both of which, by the grace of the land gods, was solved by another visitor coming in late. Brought up this issue with the Staff and they were more than happy to fix the card! apparently my room specifically, 219, has issues in their system or whatever. which brings me to my next criterion. The hotel shares a common hallway to a Thai massage parlor (which gets you a free discount coupon) and a bar/pub/diner thats open from early breakfast til late in the night. no bellhop though so youll have to carry your luggage all by your lonesome! 2.5 ROOM ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: As said before the room was pretty cold if you dont turn on the heater. But it was extremely clean! the bathroom was neat and hot water available 24/7 (some airbnbs could never), and there’s single room necessities like a water boiler, a tiny fridge, and a big and powerful hair dryer. all of which work perfectly. they stop by every morning to ask if you want your towels replaced (if your privacy sign is up) and clean the room per request. 3. STAFF: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️amazing and super nice! and cheerful! i already interacted with them since i accidentally canceled my reservation due to misunderstandings and had spent some change calling from overseas. they were easy to talk to and very understanding. That wouldve been 600usd wasted! They answered all my questions about the city, tips, and guides and all other inquiries. overall: my stay was amazing and definitely felt safe leaving my personal belongings while i went about traipsing around melbourne and surrounding land and shore marks. def recommend for a solo traveler traveling light!
