Mercure Melbourne Southbank

Located in Southbank, walking distance to Crown Casino, the hotel is in a great location to explore Melbourne city. Taxi from Melbourne International Airport cost approximately AUD70 in the evening. Hotel is behind some buildings that face the Yarra River promenade so you don’t have to face the crowds walking along the promenade area. Having said that, the bridge across the Yarra is literally 2 minutes walk from the hotel. Check in was efficient and room sizes quite decent. Room has everything one needs with air conditioning. Restaurants are aplenty walking distance from the hotel.

Good location just across the River from Flinders st station. Easy walk to the centre of Melbourne. Staff were helpful and friendly. Rooms were comfortable and really good to have a microwave, plates and cutlery. Breakfast was good - a nice change from the usual fare.

My husband and I celebrated our 45th wedding anniversary and decided to stay at Mercure Southbank this weekend and spend some time in the city. We did not realise we were staying in the same hotel we stayed before, when it was under the name of Travel Lodge. But this is where the similarities ended. We knew the location to be perfect but were pleasantly surprised to find the room very clean, generously stocked with all the necessary requirements, a super comfortable king size bed with the most amazingly fluffy pillows, great blockout to ensure a great night's sleep - all at a very reasonable price when compared with other city hotels. Excellent value, highly recommended!! Staff was friendly and responsive

We had never stayed on the Southbank before, and chose this Mercure because we were going to events on that side of the river. The hotel was very good and in an excellent location. It was a short and pleasant walk to the State Theatre and Hamer Hall. The Southbank esplanade and a multitude of restaurants were only metres away. Our room was comfortable and the staff were excellent. We'll be back, I'm sure.

Clean, modern, large rooms, good breakfast setup, convenient location, helpful reception staff, lots of towels, good water pressure in the shower and great value. We stayed three nights but would have been happy to spend a week there. No need to spend more at another hotel.
