How to Find a Great Melbourne Hotel on a Budget

January 21st, 2012

If you are hoping to travel affordably, you may wonder how to find a great Melbourne hotel on a budget. Using some of the travel websites and thinking creatively you can find Melbourne accommodation that will not break the bank.

 

The first thing to keep in mind when you are looking for an affordable Melbourne hotel is location. The closer you are to the city center the more expensive you can expect your room to be. This is also true if the Melbourne accommodation you are looking for has extra services including concierge or spa services. There is a balancing act that you may need to do. You may find that you need to balance how close you are to the action with what services you are paying for.

 

You should also look at what time of the year you are booking your Melbourne accommodation. If it is during the 'high season' when most people are hoping to travel you need to be aware that there may be extra fees or surcharges. You can typically expect to pay quite a bit more for a room during this period which often runs from the end of November to the end of January.

 

Have you considered a hostel instead of a Melbourne hotel? Popular with backpackers and younger travelers, these rooms are often extremely inexpensive but lack many of the comforts that other types of Melbourne accommodation would. There are hostels which are geared for backpackers as well as other travelers so doing research and finding some excellent travel guides can be a great starting point.

 

If you are trying to get a good deal on a Melbourne hotel room, consider booking through an online travel agency. There are often deals that are available especially if you book your airfare at the same time that you are booking your Melbourne accommodation. If you include vehicle rental you may find that the savings end up being quite significant. Online travel services can offer hotel rooms at discounts when hotels try to fill vacancies. Deals will be much more scarce during the high season so you should consider that when you are making travel plans.

 

Melbourne accommodation is spread throughout the city and the nearby suburbs. There is an excellent public transit system. You should not feel as if you are out of the action if you book a Melbourne hotel room that is not right downtown. You may also want to consider a hotel room that offers a kitchenette. You can save money by preparing your own food rather than eating at restaurants. This affordability may mean you can book a room at a higher end Melbourne hotel.

 

If you don't mind moving part way through your trip, consider staying in a lower priced hotel for most of your stay, then splurging for a night or two at a higher-end hotel. This can save you money while allowing you to taste the high life and create some wonderful memories.

 

Whatever your decision is you should know that there is a Melbourne hotel for any taste or budget. Bon voyage!
