Located in the northwestern part of Melbourne's Central Business District (CBD), the Atlantis Hotel is a 232-room business hotel that provides easy access to the Etihad Stadium and Victoria Market. The lodgings here are simple and vary in size in order to accommodate families; all rooms have generic decor typical of mid-range chain hotels. On-site amenities include an indoor pool, large fitness center, and four meeting/event spaces. However, Wi-Fi and parking both cost extra, and breakfast is not included in most rates. Beyond the breakfast room, the hotel lacks a bar and restaurant. Compare rates with the Mercure Melbourne Albert Park just south of the CBD, which offers many of the same amenities as the Atlantis, but also has a restaurant and a cafe.

The Victoria Hotel is a historic landmark, but the late 19th-century grandeur has largely faded away. However, its bland, dated rooms do have a major upside -- they're often very inexpensive for the prime location, right in the heart of the city. That's not the only draw here either; the property has an on-site bar with a billiards table, as well as a restaurant that serves Thai food all day after a continental breakfast buffet. The indoor pool, hot tub, and fitness center are all inviting, but none are big enough for the number of budget travelers the hotel can accommodate.
