Brady Hotels Central Melbourne

Great value and location 1 stop on the CBD free trams or a 5 minute walk to Bourke St Mall and close to Lygon St and the Victoria Markets. Friendly staff. Heaps of shopping, take away and restaurants a short stroll away and a cafe onsite. We stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment on the top floor which was compact but comfortable with a small lounge area. Bedrooms are a good size with very comfortable beds, each with ensuite and are dark for sleeping. Also very quiet on the 15th floor and as the hotel is in Little Latrobe St it’s generally quiet but just off Swanston St. Bathrooms are compact but nice. There’s a kitchenette that you can prepare basic meals and breakfast in with nearby supermarket at Melbourne central. Great air condition with seperate controls in each room. Excellent WiFi.

We had a great stay at Brady Hotels during our trip to Melbourne. The room was very clean, and the hotel provided thoughtful amenities such as shower products, a shower cap, and body lotion. One thing I really want to highlight is the shower. Compared to many hotels we’ve stayed at, the shower head here is detachable, the water pressure is strong, and the water gets hot enough — which made the shower experience especially comfortable and relaxing. Overall, the hotel has a very calming and relaxing atmosphere. The staff were extremely friendly and always happy to help whenever we had questions. After checking out, we were able to store our luggage at the hotel, which was very convenient and made our day much easier. The location is also excellent, right in the city centre, making it easy to get around and explore Melbourne. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.

Two best things of this hotel are their staffs and location! Very nice staffs- everyone was greeting us with a smile every time we passed by. Very accomodating with helping us with our requests. Location was amazing- about 3 to 5mins walk away from the main shopping centre. 2 mins away from train station. And lots of food nearby! Room was also spacious enough for my boyfriend and I. No issues at all during our stay. Made our stay in Melbourne very comfortable and enjoyable.

This hotel is in a great location, right across from Central Melbourne and just minutes from the tram stops, making it very easy to get around the city. The room was small and very dim, especially in the shower area, which made it harder to judge cleanliness. The basement laundry facilities could definitely use some improvements. That said, the staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay—truly five stars for their service. Overall, convenient location and excellent staff made our stay worthwhile, though the lighting and laundry could be better.

We recently had a lovely 3 night stay at the Brady Hotel in a King Apartment as we wanted to be able to have a continental breakfast each morning before heading out. The room is not spacious but it suited us as we were only there to sleep. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming from reception to everyone we met on the lift which is really nice to experience when you are staying somewhere. The location is great, within walking distance to many restaurants, Victoria market and the riverfront. It was surprising very quiet at night considering how close you are to everything and no roadworks close by. Would highly recommend.

Never Been So Disappointed and Angry with a Hotel I have never been more disappointed and disgusted with a hotel in my entire life. A one-star rating is still too generous for Brady Hotels’ rigid, inhuman system, their absolutely non-negotiable policies, and their shockingly cold-hearted staff. I booked rooms through Booking.com for my overseas clients, who were unable to travel due to visa issues. Starting three weeks before the check-in date, I repeatedly tried to find a solution – requesting a refund, rescheduling, converting the booking into credit, or any other possible arrangement. Each and every time, the hotel refused with the same robotic response: “It’s against our policy.” I contacted them by email, phone, and through the Booking.com platform. Every single attempt was met with a flat “no.” After Booking.com was also refused, there was literally no way to reopen communication with the hotel. What kind of customer service is that? I even went to the hotel in person to speak with the manager, hoping for some compassion or flexibility. Instead, I was met with the same cold refusal. How on earth does a hotel with this level of service win any “Hotel of the Year” awards? It’s a complete joke. I have been a loyal customer of Brady Hotels for the past year, booking rooms for my clients almost every month across your three properties in Melbourne. I considered myself a trusted repeat guest – until now. To be treated with such disregard and indifference is both insulting and enraging. Because of an unavoidable situation like visa issues – a true force majeure – and despite my proactive efforts three weeks in advance, Brady Hotels chose to hide behind “policy” rather than lift a finger to help. This isn’t just poor service – it’s lazy, heartless, and utterly unethical. I have suffered a significant financial loss because of your unwillingness to show even the slightest flexibility or humanity. I will never trust Brady Hotels again, and I will make sure to warn everyone I know against staying at any of your properties. I have never felt so angry and let down by a business in my life. Shame on you.

We had lovely stays at Brady. Room was super clean, had a spacious balcony, got good facilities, and in the basement there was laundry room guests can pay to use. The location is SUPER amazing. Shopping areas, plenty of coffee shops, restaurants and patisseries in walking distance.

Had a great stay at Brady Hotel Melbourne Central! The staff were amazing – I came at 9am just to drop my luggage, but the receptionist (Asian lady, forgot her name) was super kind and let me check in early since the room was ready. Such a nice start to my trip! When my shower gel ran out, the staff (Eva) quickly brought me a new one. She was so friendly and helpful, and we even had a little chit-chat – such a nice person! Would’ve loved to see her again when I came back for my luggage, but her shift had already finished. Please send my regards to her 😊 Location is perfect, right in central Melbourne with so many food options around. Even KFC is just 2 minutes away. Loved the bathroom design, very modern and the shampoo/shower gel smelled so good. But the bottles were too small, only enough for one use – would be better if they provided more, especially for 2 guests. The room itself was okay, just standard and a bit dark. Hard to do makeup with the lighting, and the power socket placement could be more practical. I only stayed here for 1 night since the weekend rate was quite high on weekend. If the price was a little cheaper, I’d definitely love to stay longer. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay and especially loved the service from the staff!

Great location by RMIT and Swanston St., nice front desk people, modern clean renovated rooms, with balconies. Good value! Pro tip: laundry machines in the basement. Lobby is a little hostel-ly and lots of construction happening in the area.

Modern rooms at a great location - 4.5 Stars We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. For the price you pay the rooms were very nice and the hotel is at a great central location. The rooms were very modern and cozy. The hotel has a small bar/restaurant by the hotel lobby. The front of the hotel looks like it's in a ghetto alley way which caught us off guard but turned out to be very nice inside. The only cons are that there is currently a lot of construction being conducted around the hotel and the free Wi-Fi is limited (250MB daily) and there is a good chance you will have to upgrade for $10 (2GB no time expiration) as we did.

I just checked in 1 hr ago and have found heaps of problems with this hotel: (1) My hotel booking comes with wireless connection - I have 3 different devices with me and none of them can connect to the wifi. So please note esp international travellers. (2) If one of the considerations to book this hotel is bc it offers you free wireless, do not bother (I use 4g just to write my horrible experience). There is only one computer for use for hotel guests (imagine to be shared with guests staying all 15 floors of this hotel.. so again, do not bother to even think to use it (3) The computer's mouse could not be used bc its battery ran low (4) Printer is not working when u tried to print from the one and only computer available to guest... Summary: Thank God I only booked 1 night stay at this hotel

Need a 7am wake up call? Don't bother...the construction will jolt you awake like clockwork every morning. Worst sleep I've had in a long time. I believe my jet lag got worse after staying here. Not recommended until all (multiple construction sites surround this hotel) construction is done...which will be a long time from now. Also, wifi is clearly a joke. You have to pay in order to use any sort of semblance to normal wifi. When I initially used the free wifi, it took 45 minutes to download a Kindle book. After I upgraded due to work reasons, the next book took 1 minute to download. Obviously a sham. Not cool Brady Hotel...just offer the better wifi like a normal hotel and stop gauging. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOUR GUESTS CAN'T SLEEP IN DUE TO NOT HAVING SOUND PROOF WINDOWS!
