Top Melbourne Zoo Hotel Reviews

Atlantis Hotel, Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"Easy walk from the skybus and to collect hire car. Would stay here again"

Grand Hyatt Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"This five star hotel in Melbourne lives up to the Grand Hyatt name. Everything encountered was excellent through to checkin, restaurants, room quality etc. Excellent location in the Paris end of Collins Street of Melbourne. Will stay again in the future."

Park Squire Motor Inn and Serviced Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Very well located and good staff."

Meriton Suites Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

Great Southern Hotel Melbourne

8/10 Good

"Easy check in with friendly staff!"

Oaks Melbourne Flemington Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Caretaker couldn't have been more helpful. We arrived very late and he was more than accomodating. Great location for our needs. Awesome city views from our room. Wide secure car parking. Apartment had everything you need. Only suggestion (albeit very minor) would be...some coffee mugs would be nice in lieu of tea cups given there was a coffee machine available to use and another towel rack in the bathroom. 5 🌟"

Rydges Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, new and amenities great."

Dorsett Melbourne

8/10 Good

"Yeah, it was nice. Real nice. Breakfast was a real letdown though. They have a drink machine in the arcade area next to the foyer that is amazing, from coffees, to energy drinks, dessert frappes and bubble tea! I’d come back just for that alone! I’d just have breakfast elsewhere. Great staff too. Very helpful, kind and courteous- 10x ⭐️’s for the staff!"

Parkville Motel

8/10 Good

"I stayed here on AFL grand final weekend, where all the CBD hotels were absurdly priced. This motel is well placed a short tram trip from the CBD and close to the Melbourne Zoo. The room is a typical motel room, with a bed, bathroom and tv and has everything you need for a short stay. The room was clean and despite being a really old building, was in reasonable shape. It presented a good value for money option"
