YTI Garden Hotel

Great location on Lt Bourke street, next door to Piccolina Gelateria. Short 30 minute walk to Melbourne Park for concerts. The room is small, but for a low price it is more than comfortable. Unfortunately the room lacks lamps, so the only lighting comes from 2 downlights (one in the kitchen and one above the bed). The tv in my room had a broken screen with bleeding in the right hand corner, but would still work to watch shows. I didn't use the kitchen, but there are 2 hotplates and a pan and saucepan. The shower in the room is fantastic and heats up immediately (and water pressure is high for those who like that). Staff were nice upon checking in and checking out.

Everything was clean and in a good location - just need to go straight and see Chinatown. The things that I needed to buy were pretty much in the vicinity, and Melbourne Central was just a few walks away. Very nice to wake up in the morning with a big window on the side of the room. There was also an electric cooker I cooked in, which meant that I didn't always need to eat out, I could easily just cook something if I felt like just staying in. Friendly staff, and pretty straightforward information was provided to me before my stay. There was also a self-service laundry. TLDR: Good location, clean amenities and furnitures, and friendly staff. (Cooker was also included).

I've stayed here several times. The price, for the location, is amazing. It's a converted office or commercial building, so the layout is a little quirky, but I had a decent sized room and a large bathroom. The refit was done a few years ago, so there are signs of the usual wear and tear, but overall I have to recommend it for an overnight stay in the centre of the city.

We stayed for one night. Check in was simple and quick, staff were very friendly. The rooms are a bit old but they are clean and nice. This is a budget hotel and for the price I was very happy with it. The location is fantastic, right in the centre of the city with loads of cafes and restaurants surrounding. When we checked out we were able to leave our bags in storage for a few hours which was really helpful. If you're looking for a good hotel in the city for a budget price, I would highly recommend.

friendly staff, great walking distance to restaurants and the event that I was attending. I was happy to know that the front desk was available 24/7 so if I did have an issue they would be able to help. check in and out were easy. good 20min walk from train station, easy to spot.
