Holiday Inn Melbourne Airport by IHG

I have stayed here several times, usually before a very early morning departure, and appreciate how close it is to the airport. The staff is professional and friendly and the rooms clean, comfortable and well stocked. The restaurant is not going to win any awards but it's a decent meal and offers a good glass of wine.

The location is wonderful, so convenient. We choose to walk to the terminal, it is only a 10minute stroll and nice before sitting for hours, however there is a shuttle bus. Having the restaurant and bar and site is so convenient. The food is delicious and drink choices good but expensive. The main thing is the rooms vary greatly. Somehow I booked a king in April and a Queen this time. The king had room for us the move around and a comfortable couch to sit on. This time we only had a bed. Far from ideal when recovering from a car accident. Also this time the bed was lumpy and not nearly as comfortable. Love the choice of pillows. Very nice.

Happy with our stay here for one night between flights. After phoning on arrival the shuttle arrived approx 15 minutes later and only a couple minutes drive to the hotel. Staff at the desk were friendly and helpful. Room was large and clean and the beds were really comfortable. We ordered room service and the menu was huge and surprised me how reasonable the prices were. We ordered at approx 9.20pm and it came within 20 minutes. I glanced at the later night menu and it still had a decent selection to choose from. Breakfast was good and had all your usual options. Pancake machine was a popular one and they had a juicing station if that's your thing. Shuttle back to the airport was only $3 per person (which I booked at check-in) I think is good price as it saves the hassle of ordering a uber etc and it was on time and got you to the airport promptly. A good choice to stay if you want to save some money and still be close to the airport.

We recently spent a night at the Holiday Inn (HI) at Melbourne Airport and had a great stay. The hotel is located around 7-8 minute walk from the T1 & T2 arrival exit. There are pedestrian signs you can follow along the street. You do have to cross streets several times but the hotel is in sight soon after walking the pathway so it is not difficult to find, just a bit inconvenient if you have lots of luggage. They do offer shuttle service for a fee, worth considering if not comfortable walking over to the HI on your own. ||Check-in was quick and seamless, we were allowed into our room a couple hours early which was nice. There is a restaurant and bar on the ground floor. Our room was very comfortable, plenty room for luggage. Bed was comfortable, afforded restful sleep. Room included desk space, chair, fridge, kettle, safe, hair dryer, iron, ironing board, safe, telly, good lighting, enough plug outlets and good wifi. Bathroom was spacious and shower worked very well. ||Overall, this was a perfect hotel airport stay, room rate was very good when reserved through booking.com. Communication with HI just fine, we rested very well and left with good impressions from our stay even with the slightly inconvenient walking path between the hotel and airport. Would happily stay here again if needing an overnight hotel near the Melbourne Airport again.

The hotel is one of many near the airport and useful for quick transfers. Like all Train hotels it’s clean tidy has free Wi-Fi and a shuttle service to the airport . The restaurant food was excellent and staff lovely. Only suggestion for improvement would be to serve food on warm plates . . Otherwise everything was fabulous.||The main reason I’m recommending this hotel so highly is due to the staff service. ||The visit was made special due to the exemplary care by Hussain - his meet n greet transfer service was friendly and informative. He made our 30th Wedding Anniversary visit special with his advice and recommendations. ||So - if you’re looking for a way to select your next stop over at Melbourne airport, I hope this review is useful.

Fantastic staff. Each and everyone i soke with were so happy to make my stay stress free. Rooms clean and comfortable enjoyed having a bath. . Would happily stay there again. Enjoyed the Mezze bowl from restaurant. Airport shuttle was another extra bonus.

One night stay at Holiday Inn after flight from Malaysia. Short wait for the shuttle bus then quick transfer to hotel. Check-in was easy and staff member was professional and friendly. Food ordered from room service menu arrived promptly and was very tasty. The room itself was clean, with a comfortable bed. Only the bathroom deco could do with a bit of a refresh. Breakfast in the morning was very good - plenty of choice. All in all not a bad place to stay either before or after a flight.

As a member of a different rewards group I have stayed several times at another airport hotel but on this occasion I thought I might go back to the Holiday Inn as we have had many pleasant experiences there. The staff were efficient but not very friendly, the room was tired and dark especially the bathroom. A real disappointment was the $3 charge for the bus to the terminal; this is opportunistic and money grabbing. The positives were free overnight parking and the bed was comfortable. Given the price (30% more than another hotel) I do not think it is great value and am unlikely to stay again in the foreseeable future.

Good value airport hotel. Does what it says on the tin - basic,clean, close to airport. Basic amenities but comfortable and clean. Good for a one nighter, but don't order room service / it's very average , re heated supermarket pizza and cold chips.

We stayed here only due to having an early flight the next day. The hotel is within walking distance to the airport. They do offer a shuttle but you need to sign up in advance since it is a popular request. Although it is super close to a major airport and we could see planes landing out our window, the room was surprisingly quiet. The bar had a decent selection of draft beer and the buffet breakfast had good choices and was fresh. The room could have used a refresh, but it was clean and was what we needed.

Eh.. well compared to the two other hotels we stayed at in Australia, this was a major let down (aside from the fact that it was super close to the airport). It just seems pretty old and slightly run down, they could use some updates. That being said, it was a decent hotel and 3 Stars means they meet requirements, but def aren't anywhere above average. I also feel like the hotel was overpriced for what it offered (aside from distance from airport). It was practically the same price as The Grand Hyatt at the CBD in Melbourne and the Amora Jamison In Sydney during Vivid's opening weekend .. for that comparison it was not even remotely in the same class. That being said if you have a very early flight, want to stay at the airport, and don't mind paying the same amount for mediocre as you would for first class downtown ... this is perfectly fine.. the room was clean, the service was friendly, and it met minimum requirements for a 3 Star .. I just still can't believe it was the same price as some of the best hotels I've ever stayed at.. that's all

Stayed here twice now and both times happy with the room comfort and facilities. It is pretty expensive though and wouldn't choose to stay here other than for convenience and the fact that work pays. Obviously not much of an outlook although you can see the city from some rooms. Overall the room was very comfortable and well maintained. The restaurant and bar seem well stocked, but there are definitely cheaper options near by. Takeaway from the terminal I reckon!

Pleasant, casual hotel in which I felt at ease. Not necessary to catch the shuttle from the terminal--it's a short stroll. I'd stay here in preference to some other Melbourne Airport onsite hotels because 1) the placement of security bollards and such make this hotel easier to get to than other options, and 2) everyone's nice, helpful, and knows what they're doing.

Stayed here for one night to be close to the airport. Hotel room was clean and nice. Bathroom paint on tiles was lifting a little. Happy with the stay and room. All good here!

Look past the ordinary decor when you stay here. For a start, although you are right at the airport, you wouldn't know it (in terms of noise) there is very little environmental noise to negatively impact the inetrior ambience. The hotel rooms as spacious, with very comfortable beds, good lighting, a well appointed desk and a broad range of movie/tv offerings. The bathroom is small, but the shower and towels are good. Restaurant (Vargas) is very nice - the a la carte dinner and breakfast buffet both feature good quality, fresh food. A bonus is that breakfast opens at 5.30am - fantastic. The Fitness Centre is worth a particular mention - staff underplay it, saying its a "small gym". Well, small it may be, but the equipment is state-of-the-art. It has excellent digital treadmills, an exercycle and an elliptical machine along with free weights and other machines. It's REALLY good, and open 24 hours - well done on that. It's the best equipment I've seen in a Holiday Inn gym - and I've seen several around the world. Overall this one is better than most Holiday Inns. There's a free shuttle across to the airport too.
