Melbourne Capsule Hotels

We had a fantastic stay at the Melbourne Marriott Hotel Docklands. Everything about our experience was wonderful. The highlight for us was definitely the pool. The water temperature was perfect—not too hot and not too cold—and our kids absolutely loved it. In fact, they didn’t want to get out! The view from the pool area was also amazing and made the experience even more special. Breakfast was great with plenty of options, and the staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating throughout our stay. They made us feel very welcome and well looked after. We will definitely stay here again in the future and have already recommended the hotel to our family and friends. A truly enjoyable stay!

Extremely satisfied with this hotel! It's super close to Queen Victoria Market, and you can even cook your own meals. The $200 deposit was refunded very quickly, and the service was absolutely fantastic! They even lend out Myki cards (public transport cards)!

Perfect stay for a simple trip. Stayed at the single bed room. The room is small but just enough for my short stay. Room was clean & it has everything you expected for a budget hotel: Tea/coffee, milk on the fridge and toileteries. Wifi speed is good for browsing (Approx 40-50Mbps) The only downside is: Their hotel key is using old technology and easily demagnetised. I happen to put it next to my Airpods and it loses the magnetism.

The hotel's hygiene is excellent, and the lobby is spacious and bright. There are plenty of elevators, so even during peak hours, you don't wait long. The rooms are also spacious with beautiful window views; one side should offer a clear view of the river connecting the North and South banks, perfect for watching New Year's fireworks. Housekeeping is arranged from the third day of your stay, and they do a thorough and clean job. Overall, I'm very satisfied, although the location is a bit far from the CBD and Melbourne's main attractions. However, once you cross to the North Bank, you're not far from the tram free zone, which makes up for it. 👍👍👍

Great Southern Hotel Melbourne provided solid value for my short solo stay in the city during a busy trip. Right opposite Southern Cross Station, it's incredibly convenient for SkyBus from the airport, trams to Phillip Island penguins, and exploring Crown Casino or the CBD—perfect for backpackers on a student budget. Rooms were clean and comfortable with comfy beds, good bathrooms, and free WiFi; staff were super friendly, offering quick check-in and local tips. Breakfast (extra charge) was decent and reasonably priced. Minor issues like occasional AC glitches or no elevator in some areas, but overall great location and service outweigh them. Would stay again—8.5/10!

Definitely not the best hostel I've been too but not the worst either. However I wouldn't recommend as a female guest. First, they take a photo of you upon check in. I don't know if this is customary in Australia but if it was up to me I wouldnt be willing to provide it (it is stated on trip.com upon booking though, I guess I just missed it). Second... I'm not making any claims here but inside the female bathrooms, there are tiny holes on the walls and doors. They could totally be harmless, but as someone living in Korea where those holes in public bathrooms mean something harmful to women... I wouldn't risk staying at such a place ever again now that I know. Now for the facility review... There was 1 working bathroom with 2 toilets & 2 shower booths on my floor, but it probably wasnt too crowded, I never had to wait to shower. Hot water came out just fine. Would give a 7/10 for cleanliness... There were 2 hair dryers only 1 of which was working. The location is very good, walking distance to all CBD landmarks (very near South Cross Station & tram station right outside the door). Which also means that it gets noisy at night with the noise from the train running. You can either close the window (which I heard is very heavy) and live with the stuffy smell, or leave the window open and live with the noise. Cant do both. Amenities... what do I say? I got a key to enter the room & the bathroom. The beds werent numbered so you just get your room number and hop on whichever bed that seemed... fresh. A bed with a blanket, pillow, and curtain for privacy. That was all. They did provide free towels when I asked later. Inside the shared bathroom, there was 1 gel provided inside the shower booth, not sure if it was shower gel or shampoo... I do believe there is plenty room for improvement. Starting from the holes in the shower booths..

It’s a nice little place that did what it needed to do to keep a roof over my head. Slightly annoying that you have to use the bathroom/shower in seperate areas within the hotel but that was already known once paying for a room in advance.

The apartment matched the pictures online almost perfectly, 99% accurate! Even though the hotel has been open for years, the rooms and facilities were spotlessly clean. No water stains on the walls, and the bathroom was completely free of mold or black spots in any corners. The drains worked perfectly with no unpleasant odors. I stayed for 6 days, and whenever I hung the cleaning card, they came to clean promptly. The front desk service was excellent. Overall, I'm very satisfied and will definitely book here again in the future.

The staff are super helpful and friendly. But the bathroom and toilet facilities are a bit outdated. The tap over the wash basin keeps dripping water and it's making loud dripping sound that it's disturbing our sleep. Since we only stayed for a couple of nights, so we did not bother to ask for change of room. Also, it really difficult to turn the tap on and off with these old-styled taps. Hopefully some renovation is in line soon when we come back next year to stay there...

The hotel's location is excellent, close to Chinatown and the city center. The breakfast is abundant. This is our second time staying here, and aside from the sealed windows, we're quite satisfied with everything else. Especially commendable is the late check-out till 12 PM, considering our flight was at 4 PM – that's truly rare and much appreciated!
