Excellent value budget hotel had everything I need - larger than expected room.

Stephen Australia

City Square is a budget motel that provided us with a budget stay right in the middle of the CBD. Location was perfect for all our visits to the shops, restaurants' and theatre. Very good security on the front door for after hours entry.

Graham Australia

The locations is great, the double room huge with a comfy bed, separate 2 seater lounge, and big old bathrrom. The shower water pressure was just glorious!

Roger Australia

The best location in the middle of the city. Great motel to stay on a vacation or a business trip. Good staff members.

Sergey Australia

The hotel is centrally located at the Flinders Street station end of Swanston St. It is very easy to get to via tram or train. Its close to South Bank, shopping areas (Bourke Street, Melbourne Central and Queen Vic), sports (MCG , Tennis Centre and Marvel) and theatre district. Its close to Fed Square, Arts Centre and NGV. It was well appointed (separate bathroom with bath (shower over bath) and a kitchenette that included a microwave). The bed was comfortable and the room also included table, chairs and a couch, so if was very well appointed. Minimal traffic noise from the street.
