#7 of 9 hotels in CBD by Axel's take. CBD is #1 of 9 places to stay in Melbourne. The best hotels in CBD, ranked · Where to stay in Melbourne

Axel's take: 7.1/10

A handy city base, but the location outshines the rooms. A budget-minded, officially 4-star hotel beside Chinatown, scored for what it is.

Mercure Welcome Melbourne, now marketed as Mercure Melbourne City Centre, is a budget-minded hotel with an official 4-star rating. We'd choose it for short stays spent exploring rather than lounging indoors: Chinatown, shopping and trams are close, and recent Expedia and Trip.com guests regularly praise helpful staff and breakfast. It's a practical base, not a polished four-star experience.

The hotel advertises refurbished rooms, but recent feedback still describes uneven condition, tight layouts, uncomfortable beds and noise. Cleanliness is generally better regarded than room upkeep. Housekeeping normally runs every third day, with fresh supplies available on request. Guests reported one lift under repair in September 2026, and October reviews still mention long waits; check its status if stairs aren't an option. We'd skip it for a quiet retreat or dependable daily servicing.

  • Best for: Short sightseeing stays; Car-free shoppers and theatre-goers; Travelers prioritizing location over polish

  • Watch out for: Lift repairs and long waits reported; Housekeeping every third day; Variable room condition and soundproofing

  • Location: Excellent CBD position beside Chinatown, with shops, restaurants and trams close by.

  • Rooms: Advertised as refurbished, but guests still report tight rooms and inconsistent beds, maintenance and noise insulation.

  • Cleanliness: Generally positive overall, though some guests report bathroom-cleaning lapses.

  • Service: Helpful staff earn frequent praise; check-in and problem handling are less consistent.

  • Amenities: Free Wi-Fi, buffet breakfast and a café; the catalog's casino is off-site, not a hotel facility.

  • Fees and surprises: Breakfast may cost extra; parking is paid and off-site. Confirm the designated garage and current lift availability.
