Fodor's Expert Review Arrow on Swanston
488 Swanston St., Melbourne, Victoria, 3053, Australia
Location and great value make up for the limited space in this CBD-edge hotel. All rooms have small kitchens, perfect for cooking up a feast of fresh produce bought at Queen Victoria Market, a 10-minute walk away; restaurant-lined Lygon Street is even closer. There are studio rooms and several configurations of one- and two-bedroom apartments sleeping up to four. Guests have complimentary access to the gym, sauna, and outdoor swimming pool (closed over winter) in the adjoining long-term student housing building. Secure undercover parking is available for a fee.
