Top Royal Melbourne Showgrounds Hotel Reviews

The Victoria Hotel Melbourne

8/10 Good

"Bathrooms was small in the 3 single rooms. But comfortable stay."

Vibe Hotel Melbourne Docklands

8/10 Good

"Great hotel nice location, pool is good."

Liberty One

10/10 Excellent

"Loved staying here, all of the reception staff are absolutely lovely and the apartments are exactly as described (the only exception being that the bed was actually bigger than what was in the listing). Kitchen comes with everything 2 people would need for a short term stay. Secure underground parking was only $20 a night and the staff were all happy to accommodate any restocking requests with a smile. We were informed of the ongoing building construction before finalising the booking but with the balcony door & windows shut I could barely hear a thing, plus they wrap up at a reasonable hour so the evenings were nice and quiet."
