Good kitchenette; close to restaurants - good, but that also means there can be some late night noise on the weekends so take earplugs. Close the Aust Catholic Uni, parliament house and easy walking to Fec Square and the National Gallery of Victoria. The Little Gordon cafe next door is excellent for coffee, brekky n lunch.

The lovely man who checked in (unfortunately I didn’t grab his name) my mum and myself for our one night stay made our experience 10/10. It would be the hotel’s loss to ever lose an employee like him! Super friendly service! The room itself was perfect size for my mum and I. The staff organised 2 single beds for us before arriving without any hassle, along with the extra towels we requested! We will absolutely be staying here again in the future.

We really enjoyed our stay at City Limits. Great location, spacious room with kitchen, welcoming reception, ready access to tea and coffee in the lobby, steps from the legislature, theatre and restaurants. Honestly, our first choice for a future stay in downtown Melbourne.

From the moment I walked into the place the staff was excellent and they had someone on the desk for 24 hours. The other thing I appreciated was before I arrived I received an email from them offering any assistance I needed to make my time in Melbourne more pleasurable they were available to assist me.

Clean basic room showing some signs of age but in good repair. Appropriate for the price point and trades some gloss for price and space.

I was very impressed on how spotlessly clean it was and the little lounge at the front with a coffee machine was nice and cost. The tea/coffee making and even a toaster in the room was a nice surprise as well.

Convenient location near the princess theater. We stayed only one night while in Melbourne to see the show Annie. The man who checked us in (cannot recall his name but he was from Spain) was very nice and provided a list of restaurants in the area that stay open late so we can get dinner. Room was dated but comfortable and warm with good working heater. Would definately stay there again when in town for another show.
