• The Nunnery (Fitzroy, $65-$85) Phone: 61-3-9419-8637 Google Maps
  • Frommer's Recommended: "On the city's edge, the Nunnery is perfectly situated near the restaurant and nightlife scenes of Brunswick and Lygon streets, in nearby Carlton."

• • Lonely Planet Selection: "An absolute top-notch hostel epitomising great budget accommodation, the Nunnery delivers without the lemon-lipped attitude."

• • TripAdvisor 3.0 Rating   (Note: Community rating, may change)

• Hotel Tolarno (St. Kilda, $130) Phone: 61-3-9537-0200 Google Maps
  • Frommer's Highly Recommended: "Rooms vary, but all are modern and nice."

• • Fodor's Review   : "The color schemes here are a bit garish (red, purple, and orange dominate), and the furnishings are basic, but this is a friendly, funky place to stay (or to have a bite in the excellent on-site bistro)."

• • TripAdvisor 4.0 Rating   (Note: Community rating, may change)

• Hotel Claremont (South Yarra, $76-$86) Phone: 61-3-9826-8000 Google Map
  • Frommer's Recommened: "It's an attractive place, though sparsely furnished. The AAA-rated three-star rooms are comfortable enough; each comes with either a double or a single bed."

• • Lonely Planet Selection: "[T]he location can't be beat and is the only choice for those in search of serious retail therapy."

• • TripAdvisor 3.5 Rating   (Note: Community rating, may change)

• Miami Hotel Melbourne (North Melbourne, $129) Phone: 61-3-9321-2444 Google Map
  • Fodor's Reivew   : "Like a Motel 6, only fancier, Miami Motor Inn is an excellent value for the budget- and style-conscious."

• • Lonely Planet Selection: "Rooms are tidy and functional (though lacking in flourishes of any description), and are available with shared or en-suite bathrooms."

• • TripAdvisor 3.5 Rating   (Note: Community rating; may change)

• Kingsgate Hotel (City Center, $85-$134) Phone: 61-3-9629-4171 Google Map
  • Frommer's Recommended: "A 10-minute walk from the city, this interesting hotel feels like a basic B&B, though a total refurbishment -- "to attract airline staff" -- recently gave it a better look."

• • Lonely Planet Selection: "Forget the fluffy pillows, baby-soft toilet roll and hints of fresh jasmine, the Kingsgate is a [no-nonsense], inner-city hotel offering excellent value for money."

• Olembia Guesthouse (St. Kilda, $60-$80) Phone: 61-3-9537-1412 Google Map
  • Lonely Planet Selection: "They've put quite a bit of effort into making this a treasure for your pleasure, with furnishings and impeccably presented snug-as-a-bug rooms."

• • TripAdvisor 3.5 Rating   (Note: Community rating; may change)
