There were 3 familys of us, 6 adults and 8 kids and we had 3 family rooms. We stayed for 4 nights and enjoyed it very much. The rooms had kettle, fridge and bathrooms that were just great to accomodate our family's. The rooms were very clean and serviced and topped up with milk, coffee etc everyday. The staff was... more

Our stay at the Kingsgate Hotel was extremely disappointing. Our room was a dingy box with a bed, a wardrobe and chair. The wardrobe had clothes left in it from previous occupants and there wasn't even a phone to contact concierge. Too bad if there was a fire and we needed to let them know downstairs. Also the walls are... more

Basically, you get what you pay for at this place. Is it the cleanest hotel around? By no means. Is it the filthiest place you've ever stayed in? Probably not. Is the staff the friendliest? Not really. Are they the worst? Not really either. Safe and convenient location? Not so much (in fact, one Aussie told me, when I told... more

This hotel has a great location, it is in easy walking distance to Crowne and the Station. You can park in Crowne all night for a very cheap rate.

The Kingsgate is a large hotel with six floors. It has a great location in Melbourne city centre in walking distance from Southern Cross station.

However, given the price we paid AUD105 for 4 persons, I'd say this the room is average. The location is great, walking distance to Docklands, Victoria Market and also the... more

I booked a family room online. I called first to make sure they had a cot as we have a four month old. Was assured they have a cot and was told to put that in the description. On the day we were checking in I called to say we would be a two hours later than specified. THEY HAD... more

This hotel / backpackers is budget accommodation (where else can you stay in a hotel room in the Melbourne for $79.00 to $89.00 AUD per night during the Australian Open) which is central to the CBD, Crown Casino, Southbank and Flinders St Station. It is very basic accommodation, you get a bed, tv and fridge plus ensuite. The room is... more

Spent a weekend here, good value for central Melbourne. Very close to Southern Cross station and Docklands but close enough to the Yarra and center. Room was basic but clean and breakfast was OK. Good budget option. more
