Telstra Dome has a pretty comfy floor, if you are GA-ing it.

You may have to try somewhere a little further out. public transport is really good.

dunc · 12-13-2005, 07:59 PM

try www.octopustravel.com.au.

I booked mine using that site.

Im booked in at the Rydges in North Melb, but will be spending most of my time lining up. Due to the games, most hotels have minumum stays e.g. 4 days, and cheap hotels like the Arden are jacking up prices. Im taking my family, so for $300 a night we got free breakfast for four, free parking and a spa room. Not bad.

nice name, wang_chung haha.

intedomine · 12-14-2005, 05:38 AM

Haha Wang Chung

Melbourne is the greatest city in the world, so naturally the hotels are great. But it will be hard to find hotels during the Commonwealth games, so good luck in your quest.

Carlton Crest Hotel is a nice one though...

dju · 12-15-2005, 02:49 PM

anyone know about Albany hotel in South yarra,is it nice?
I found for $133/a night..good price?

financeguy · 12-15-2005, 02:55 PM

^ dju, I stayed there some time ago. OK (albeit fairly basic) hotel. It is quite convenient for the city centre and is in a nice part of the city. I would say the rate is fairly reasonable for Melbourne.

dju · 12-16-2005, 12:10 AM

tq finance guy..any other info for hotel in melbourne?I would really2 appreciate

I've stayed there before ages back. Pretty decent place! Also try Hotel Victoria or Carlton Crest if you are willing to travel a bit out.

dazzlingamy · 12-25-2005, 04:37 AM

if you want to stay somewhere REALLY cheap (like a backpackers) there is a hostel on the corner of flinders and spencer st for $13 a night (most probably a share room) i dont know the name though, but you could look up the address. Otherwise, you can try out in the suburbs, you could find a decent hotel for cheaps and its only a train ride into town, most train ride is only about 30 mintues to get into melb centre spencer st (where you'll get off to go to telstra dome)

good luck!

dju · 12-25-2005, 06:24 AM
