Rydges Melbourne

Rydges Melbourne

8/10 Good
"Excellent breakfast; asian and western styles available and delivered by staff happy in their work. Staff were very professional; attentive without being intrusive and always happy to provide suggestions or advice. Excellent location. Close to Chinatown - avoid the Shanghai Village restaurant if you want a quiet dinner - and the CBD. Make use of the free transport in the city centre; route 35 takes you around the whole city on a one hour tour. Also go on the free walking tours around the city, but leave the knowledgeable guide a gratuity at the end! Don't miss Brunetti Oro cafe for fabulous coffee and cakes."

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Melbourne

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable time to visit Melbourne is during May, June, and August, when hotel prices are lower. A stay of at least 2 to 3 days is ideal for discovering the city's notable landmarks, cultural sites, and historical attractions. Visitors can enjoy a budget-friendly experience while exploring Melbourne's vibrant shopping districts, impressive architecture, and renowned museums. This timing not only offers great value for money but also allows for a rich exploration of art, dining, and sports within the city. With the potential for prices to drop during these months, it's an excellent opportunity for those travelling on a budget.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover last-minute deals to Melbourne, visit the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may find discounted rates on accommodations as your travel date approaches. Consider enabling email alerts or push notifications to stay updated on flash sales and special promotions, so you're less likely to miss opportunities to save. Additionally, the Smart Shopping feature in the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, helping you make informed choices. You'll receive notifications if rooms become available or prices drop, making it easier to plan a spontaneous getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Therefore, being flexible with your travel dates could potentially lead to savings on your stay in a Melbourne hotel. For those seeking a distinctive experience, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised touch and may sometimes offer better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we will inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is on the higher end, we’ll suggest alternative dates that could be more budget-friendly, helping you find the best deal.
