Find the Cheap Westmeadows Hotels

I stayed here twice for 1 night, a week apart as a necessary stopover near Melbourne airport because of awkward flight times. The free airport shuttle is easy to access by phoning them on arrival (sometimes they might already be there), and it leaves the hotel every 1/2 hour, you just pre-book. My first stay I was in room 174 on the 1st floor. There is a lift but it's a long way around, and just a short stair climb. I couldn't manage my suitcase but a staff member was happy to help me. The room was clean, bed very comfortable, but the pillows were those very high ones, which aren't great for me. I didn't do anything about that since it was just the one night. The bathroom floor was incredibly cold though, so having the shower mat down was necessary. The only real noise I noticed were some very noisy squawking birds (cockatoos) at dawn. 2nd stay I was extremely impressed at check in. They'd kept my details so I didn't have to re-register; they remembered the trouble I had with my suitcase so gave me a unit on the ground floor (room 203 which I found to be nicer- easier to get out of the bed on both sides and a bit more spacious), and she'd remembered my passing comment about the pillows and had managed to track down some flatter ones and had them waiting on the bed. So excellent customer service :) Sadly I had to leave at 5.30am the next day! Just a couple of minutes away is a Red Rooster chicken fast food place, and a Hungry Jacks (aka Burger King), and it's about a 10min walk to a shopping centre with supermarkets. For a stopover I highly recommend this hotel and I will definitely stay there again if I'm doing a Melbourne stopover again.

Exceptionally clean room with a big comfortable bed. All usual amenities, good shower. I loved the mirror with changeable lighting! Airport shuttle was good, came very quickly and only takes 5 mins or so to get to hotel. BUT, I contacted the hotel several times by email to try to find out how to get the shuttle. Many foreigners arriving do not have a local SIM card sorted yet (and mine is data-only so I can’t make calls anyway). A freephone at the airport or the ability to email with an arrival time would be better. In the end I had to borrow a stranger’s phone on arrival at the airport. Staff that I came across were very good but I was only there one night so didn’t use any of the services like bar or restaurant. Walls seem quite thin so if you had noisy neighbours it would be an issue. The pool photo makes it look much larger than it is, but it was fine. Quiet when I was there so few people using it. Overall, a very clean and comfortable stay in a great location, perfect for layovers or short stays. 😊

The Airport Tourist Village clearly acts as an accommodation for transit visitors as well as construction workers, although the areas appear to be quite defined. Transit travelers are accommodated in spacious apartment style rooms that consist of a bedroom, bathroom, lounge area and kitchen. The Bedroom is of a re, containing a very comfortable sofa, reasonable size and contains a large comfortable bed as well as providing considerable closet and storage space. The lounge area is spacious, containing, apart from some occasional furnishings and nice artwork, a very comfortable sofa as well as a dining table and chairs. The kitchen is spacious and is well supplied with kitchenware and complimentary beverages. The bathroom is of a reasonable size, but the shower itself is quite small, meaning that the knocking of elbows while washing becomes inevitable. While towels, bathmat and complimentary toiletries are supplied, face cloths are not. Wi-Fi connection was existent but erratic. Located on a bus route enabling residents to reach local train stations and a five-minute walk from a small local shopping centre which includes several dining options.

Ideal for one night stay with an early flight booked. Management friendly and courteous . Taxi was ordered for us because the shuttle service starts at 7am which didn’t suit our early departure. Our room was immaculate with all facilities provided including complementary biscuits to have with our tea.. not often seen these days ✔️comfortable bed which provided a good nights sleep even though we had to get up at 5am. Highly recommend for anyone needing to be 5 minutes drive to Tullamarine.

Great location & excellent to be notified of shuttle to airport departure gate. Service was excellent & lovely to know it's still as good as our last visit. Facilities were good but bathroom a little outdated. Would definitely stay again.

With an early flight the next morning from Tullamarine and 2 young kids we decided to try the mantra and save the early morning drive and it was great. Great service and staff the facilities are exceedingly and we’d definitely recommend staying there.

Great location. Easy to get to and near enough to domestic terminal. Not the biggest room, but more than enough for a night transfer at the airport!

My wife and I had an early morning departure and the thought of getting up at 4.00 am or earlier, and driving to the airport had no appeal. So we stayed one night at HI, using their package for a one night stay and 4 nights parking. We usually park next to the terminals, so premium parking charges apply. For us the overnight cost including parking for 7 days was only marginally more then we would have paid for premium parking, really good value for our money. The hotel is geared to the high turnover of arriving and departing passengers and caters for them very well. Check in/out is rapid, friendly and professional. The dining room and bar staff get on with the job, in good spirits. The menu is ideal, catering for hungry travelers from many places with appropriate and well priced, and tasty cuisine. Our room was probably the basic offering, but quite large, spotless and comfortable. Transfers to/from the airport, a 3/ minute ride were handled expeditiously at no charge. We parked our car beside the hotel in a secure zone and it was ready to go on arrival. All up with were very pleased with the package and would recommend it to anyone like ourselves, avoiding the challenge (traffic jams) of an early departure.

We booked this new hotel out of curiosity and trust of large brand, but quite disappointed The hotel located at an area outside t4, next to the big parking building/bus terminal, but there are no/minimum signage/directions leading to the hotel, while only one arrow at the bus terminal pointing at the big building with the large novotel logo, making everyone thinks that we can access the hotel through the well lighted bus terminal with ease, but sadly there is no crossing facilities between the terminal and hotel, you will need to lift your luggages, jaywalking through two car lane and climbing up the lane islands if you dont want to walk back 200m for the unnoticeable correct route; in fact the only route leading to the hotel from the airport is the side walk OPPOSITE to the big arrow with poor lightings and no signage at all. As a tourist with heavy luggage, thanks for offering the chance to weight lifting. When we arrived and reflect the problem, concierge said they also received similar complains. So nothing has been done to correct the nonsense and good luck to all the up coming visitors. The room is decent to be honest and with a clear view facing the car park building we mentioned earlier, no much to see yet no problem for us too. Bed is soft and comfortable allowing us to have some good rest. However, theres an empty black bottle in the rubbish bin i believed to be the leftover from the last guest, hope the housekeeper can have a closer look in the future. Some facilities have great designs that i would like to greet the designer/procurement and admire their mastermind for installing those equipment and challenge the wisdom of humankind. For instance: the anti-intuitive shower switch for change to top shower or handheld shower head, it is semi cylinder disguised as part of wall mount of the top shower, which is about 1.9m - 2m from the ground, for those who cant find the switch and not tall enough will have to stick with what was preset. Second, the hot water dispenser at the breakfast bar, you can simply press the two buttons on top and nothing would happen, turns out there is an extra sensor you need to block with your thumb and use another finger to press the buttons on top, this can encourage guests to give up on the hot water if no one is around to ask. The breakfast is the most disappointing part, frankly all quality are high standard but the choices are few and basic, simply bacons/ eggs/ veges/ salad/ hams (well the mushrooms are very impressive though), there is also a honey hive (with a rectangular frame) but mostly empty at the middle (at the time of 7am) where the side are hard to spoon out, ppl try very hard but the loose stands make it even harder to spoon out, the frame eventually collapse and guest gave up to take the hive. No staff notice/try to fix the collapsed honey hive/ change to a new one during my whole breakfast ( around half an hour) and remain the same when we left. The pancakes supposed to be eat with the honey are dry and inedible imo too. The price for the hotel is not cheap comparing to the nearing but the standard does not meet up with the price, facilities are new and thats the only advantage on the table. PS: the hotel offer free shuttle to the terminals too, try to mention and book for your shuttle as there are only 3-4 seats if everyone have large luggages, otherwise the concierge will be surprised you did not ask for this hidden service with no mentioning during check in and no timetable ever provided when you check with them in the morning.

Stayed the night before an international flight the following morning. Brand new hotel connected to the Novotel, walking distance from the airport, so convenient. The rooms are well designed & comfortable. We had pizza down in the restaurant that night which was so good & breakfast also in the morning. Would highly recommend.
