We arrived at about 11pm, yet check-in was effortless. The room we were given had a queen, as well as a large single. It was spotless, as was the bathroom. Towels were large and fluffy. The bed linen was fresh and excellent quality. All in all a very impressive room. We also had parking beneath the building, a big plus... More

After a long drive from Sydney all I wanted to do was check in and get settled. We had arrived early (about 2 p.m.) and the room wasn't ready yet. The young lady at the counter was most apologetic and assured us that the room would be ready by three. So my son and I decided to take a stroll... More

Views on teh ground floor are non-existent, but this is a comfortable business hotel. the conference room was a bit cramped, but otherwise OK. Nice little swimming pool with garden area. The... More

Stayed here for two nights over the weekend and again very nice. Just off the edge of the city but not too far from anything, in fact a lovely walk around the nearby gardens is a good way to start the day. receptionist upon check in was great. I had experienced some difficulty in on line booking but she amended... More

I have stayed here twice before and no wonder I keep coming back. The rooms are always lovely and clean and the reception staff are very welcoming and friendly. The indoor pool area has very nice surroundings although it could have been a bit warmer. We ate breakfast in their restaurant and it was absolutely beautiful. Didn't need to stroll... More

This is a decent & basic hotel near Lygon Street in Melbourne. The rooms are clean and the beds comfortable. There is no mini-bar, grand lobby etc and the staff varied between friendly and bluntly matter of fact. I didn't try the breakfast, but there are plenty of cafes on nearby Lygon street, so I wouldn't see the attraction of... More

I recently spent two nights at the Best Western Travel Inn. I chose the hotel as it was close to my daughter's university accomodation. I hadn't been to Carlton before but I have got to say its a great place to base. Pretty walkable or tram ride to everything in town, and as a runner nearby Carlton Gardens is fantastic.... More

Clean & basic. Room was very small and bathroom was tiny with only a sliding door from bedroom which did not even shut properly. Staff on reception could have been more helpful. Convenient to lygon street for restaurants.

Would thoroughly recommend, very quiet area and a lavishing room. The only disappointment was that there was no mini bar for my partner. The price was right and as always you can depend on Best Western hotels.
