We booked this hotel based on the cheapest ground package price offered by one of the travel agents here. I was sceptical when i read the reviews in Tripadvisor. But since we planned to walk around and make full use of our time in Melbourne, we didnt need expensive hotel just to sleep, bath and change. The hotel is located... More

We booked with Hotel Sophia based on the reviews in Tripadvisor. We were in Melbourne for the Australian Open. The rooms are clean but small, just enough to space to sleep & store your luggages. Bathtoom is very small. Hotel is in walking distance to Kings Cross station. City Tram- which we found very useful is just on the street... More

Very close to Southern Cross Skybus terminal in the city. Great friendly staff member who greeted me on the doorstep at midnight - he'd been cleaning the window ledges. And yes the rest of the hotel rooms etc were very clean, comfortable and relaxing. I couldn;t find a swimming pool, and yes I did ask, but there wasn't one. Breakfast... More
