Great location, right at the entrance to the shops. Breakfast was hot, nice and plenty to pick from. Bed was comfy. Shower pressure and temperature was temperamental but overall a great place to stay for the night.

I took a chance on this hotel and it was OK. Freshening of the rooms every 3 days seemed to be less that optimal. The bed in my room was really uncomfortable bug on the bright side, the breakfast was good.
Nice but a bit dated. Breakfast is fantastic and worth every cent. Parking is 400 meters away, so in the cold of winter, it is difficult, especially lugging along our baggage. Standard room is a bit tight for our small wheelchair, but manageable if I stand behind the bed to open the door to allow my wife access in and out of the door.
We were in for a night in transit after an overnight flight. Luckily our room was ready and we were allowed to check in an hour early. There was only one lift working, however we were conveniently on the 2nd floor which made easy use of the stairs. The rooms are basic, but clean and quiet and was perfect for our needs. Thanks team.
The Mercure was extremely convenient and central to all major shopping, food and entertainment. The staff were amazing. They were all so friendly, a big warm smile and so helpful. We'll definitely be back. Thankyou for having us, Mercure Melbourne
Location is so convenient to everything. Close to tram stops, right in the city, just a step to the shops.

Great hotel for wanting to be right in the centre. Good and Plentiful breakfast. Could order poached eggs and a good selection of breads. Room a little worn but comfortable bed and everything needed for a few nights stay. Got this at a Great price with breakfast included.
Excellent location, very close to all public transport, lots of dining options within an easy walk. Buffet Breakfasts were great value at $18 each, eveything you could ask for and more. Staff were very helpful and easy to communicate with. We walked straight past when looking for it, as the entrance is not big & doesn't stand out, but the location is very convenient.
I stay at this motel regularly for business due to it being close to my office and generally in a great location for shops and restaurants. Its amenities are basic the odd vending machine and unfortunately no gym. The bed sheets on this trip look to have grease marks on them so that was a little concerning. One lift has been out of service for some time now and this makes getting to your room or work a little frustrating. Stay here for a maximum of one night in my opinion
I would love to return there on my next visit; I enjoyed the complimentary breakfast, and it’s nearer to the shopping center
