Hotels near Melbourne Zoo in Melbourne

Let's start with what is good about this business- * New carpets in the rooms/hallways * New furniture in reception * New beds/linen/TVs/lamps in the rooms * The location is unsurpassed- walking distance to the Women's hospital AND numerous parks, Brunswicks nightlife and shopping district * The carpark is generous * The staff are pleasant But then... what's bad? * No bins in the bathroom * Not enough power points in the rooms in convenient locations ( We all have to charge devices these days) * The pool looked lovely until you realise that in mid-Summer... it's not clean * Value is poor- I understand tennis is on in Melbourne so the motels are set at a premium... but really? Mid renovations and unfinished rooms... and they feel they can put the price up??That reflects badly on the management of this location because it's opportunistic in all the wrong ways. * Rooms are not maintained during your staff- beds were not made when we returned from our day out ... and then the ugly! * The water literally wasn't on in the morning... due to the lack of presence of hot water, we had learned to turn the taps on and let it run for a few minutes... but on the second morning here it literally stopped and no water came out for about five minutes. Thinking it was safe once the water returned, I showered, only for it to stop for about 20 seconds mid shower * Water for the shower runs hot and cold... literally mid-shower * Renovations are occurring like other reviewers have noted and there is clutter in the hallways It's not a motel that one would return to in a hurry, but if they manage to make good on their renovations and revitalise the outside areas ... it has potential to be something special.

Park Squire Motor Inn and Serviced Apartments We stayed here for 1 night as we live in the country and had a wedding to attend in Ascot Vale. We originally thought we would catch the tram outside the motel to the venue but ended up getting a taxi because I’m really too old to be wearing high heels! It was great that we could leave our car in the secure car park. The motel is situated on an extremely busy road and intersection so we were worried about the noise. We COULD hear the traffic noise in the distance but not as bad as I thought it would be. And we didn’t hear anything at night. All the rooms that I could see were up a flight of stairs with no lift which would be problematic for people with mobility issues. I do believe they have some ground floor accomodation but didn’t see it. It was fine for us in our 70s. Check in was easy with the friendly staff and we set off to find our room. To tell the truth, the exterior has seen better days. I remember the motel back in the 60s! But we were pleasantly surprised on finding our room. It looked clean and modern. There was a queen and a single bed. I don’t know what sort of room description to give it. I thought we had just booked an ordinary room. There was a reasonably sized TV, 2 club chairs, a fridge and coffee making facilities. We were also happy about the free wifi. The beds were comfortable for us as we like a medium mattress.The bathroom was modern and clean. We enjoyed our stay and will stay here again.

The rooms are small and the roadside sounds are loud during rush hours. The surroundings are very good!

The hotel is hygienic and convenient and well-equipped, but it is only cleaned once a week due to the epidemic situation. You can borrow a vacuum cleaner to clean it yourself. The location is near boxhill, but it takes more than 20 minutes to walk; there is a station near the door, you can take the tram to the city center; there is a parking lot, $15 a day.

Great place to stay for the whole family but really hard to contact them on the phone. We stayed for 5 days, no housekeeping or change of towels or linens , or even a refill of coffee and toiletries. Im not sure if you need to request for it inorder for it to be done. Apart from this it was a good stay, my whole family is comfortable.

The hotel is well managed, the rooms are well-equipped, the space is large, and the hardware and software services are in place. The transportation to the city and the airport is very convenient and very satisfactory.

The hotel is located at a prime location u can actually easily access to everywhere in CBD. Victoria market is located next to it.

Our stay here was amazing, the apartment was big and spacious even equipped with a dishwasher, washing machine and dryer. Overall the hotel is very new and clean, and right next to a small shopping mall with a grocery store, eateries and a cinema. It is rather far from melbourne city area but easy to get to with a cab.

Space is the first hostel of my trip and it’s set the bar pretty high! Staff are lovely, everywhere was always super clean, beds are comfy, towels are provided and you can even grab a fresh one every day if you wish. Location is great, would recommend the Queen Victoria Market for something to do and “pizza pizza pizza” was lush. There’s nothing “on” as such at the hostel but this didn’t bother us. The only thing that would be good is some extra fridges as they were packed full every day and it was hard to put your own food in anywhere. Would definitely come back.

Great Southern Hotel is diagonally opposite to the Southern Cross station, where the Skybus to and ftom airport, picks and send travellers to city. Tour groups' pickup point. It has a restaurant attached to the hotel. Room is really basic and not serviced, but clean to start with.
