This 146-room affordable mid-range hotel is a good value for those want a clean, basic hotel in the center of Melbourne. Rooms are small and do nothing to “wow” guests, though those with longer stays will appreciate the stocked kitchenettes that come in Studio rooms. Offerings at Brady are pretty minimal (tiny lobby, four-machine gym), but a small 24-hour bar area and a cafe (open for breakfast and dinner) are nice touches. It's a 17-minute walk to the dead center of the action (read: chaos and crowds), but just steps from Chinatown, hip cafes and restaurants, and Melbourne Central Station. There’s a lot of construction in the immediate neighborhood, though, so there may be some noise — aim for a high floor. Those looking to be near the University of Melbourne should compare prices at Mercure Melbourne Therry Street a few blocks away, or those who are willing to pay a touch more for a hipper space (but similar features) should consider Ovolo Laneways.

Dedicated to Australian contemporary artist David Larwill, this four-pearl hotel feels like modern art gallery. His original work adorns the walls and halls of this 96-room boutique hotel. Located in North Melbourne, it's not within easy walking distance to the CBD, though it's commutable by tram in 20 minutes. There's an attached Smith and Singleton restaurant serving international dishes, though breakfast comes at an additional fee. The hotel also has a spacious gym, conference venue, Smart Car and Lekker bicycle rental services, and free Wi-Fi. The rooms are bright and trendy, with flat-screen TVs, high-end coffeemakers, and air-conditioning. Travelers preferring to be more central should consider the Adelphi Hotel instead. It's boutique property with a similarly artsy vibe, but is located in the heart of Melbourne's CBD.

The three-pearl Melbourne Short Stay Apartments at Melbourne CBD offers 20 well-equipped units in an excellent downtown location. Central positioning by major transport hubs draws leisure and business travelers alike, but a lack of common areas, dining spaces, and around-the-clock staff are drawbacks. Self-contained apartments are comfortable and contemporary, equipped with spacious living and dining areas, kitchens, and washer/dryers. A narrow indoor lap pool, fitness center, and barbecue grills are bonuses, as are cheap parking and free Wi-Fi. You'll be hard-pressed to find a better-located apartment-style property, but for a more traditional hotel setup that doesn't lose the location, check out the Quality Hotel Batman's Hill on Collins.

The mid-range Bayview On The Park offers 203 functional rooms near Melbourne CBD and popular St Kilda Beach. Proximity to stadiums, embassies, and Albert Park's Formula One venue attracts a mixed crowd here, and on-site food, drink, leisure, and business amenities are sufficient, but the entire property is dated.

While nearby trams run downtown, the hotel's location is suburban. The Ibis Styles Melbourne, The Victoria Hotel is a more central, and still affordable, alternative.
