What guests think

Holiday Inn Express Melbourne Little Collins by IHG earns praise for its central location by Southern Cross Station, modern compact rooms with good soundproofing, friendly staff, and the value of an included buffet breakfast, making it convenient for city stays.

However, reviews repeatedly note breakfast crowds and average hot items, frosted glass bathrooms that limit privacy, and inconsistent housekeeping. Peak-time elevator waits and awkward or pricier parking are also mentioned, alongside occasional check-in delays or deposit-refund hiccups. Overall, expect a convenient, good-value base with modern essentials rather than full-service frills.

I stayed here for ten days and there was a ton of construction during this time. The elevators didn’t work at one point but that was quickly remedied. Breakfast was mediocre at best but edible. Nothing fancy. Parking was awkward. We had to park around the back of the building, ring a bell every time we wanted to enter the parking garage, get back in the car and pull in. The room was decent as well. The bed was very comfortable and I loved the shower. It was a nice hotel for the price. Close to everything and a really good location. Although there were pros…I wouldn’t stay here again.

We stayed on our Sydney to Melbourne coastal road trip. The hotel was going through some renovation on the first floor, but it was easy to find. Breakfast is included with your stay. The parking garage is convenient. The location is in the central business district and walkable. Train station and trams are close. The hotel was built in 2021.

Great hotel, some renovations make a poor first impression. The only other issues were the lifts. There were a few times where we would be waiting for a few minutes for a lift to show up, and once it showed up, it was often already full.

Great location walking distance to shops, main road and attractions liked the low deposit on check in compared to other places and free breakfast was a bonus. In room dining I didn’t mind having to come and collect myself- the cost cutting is reflected in the overall low price :) Only issue I had was outside on the street overflowing rubbish bins smelly and inconvenient :(

Property in central location near anything you need from transport to food to shopping. The parking is convenient and onsite only issue with the parking is getting in and out you have to get out your car on a main road to press a button as key scanning isn’t available. Breakfast in the morning was always a good selection and plenty even if you went later

The shower during our stay was filthy. There was soap scum on the walls and the drain was so clogged with hair and filth we weren’t able to use it. We were not able to have the room cleaned or have our room changed. The parking is convenient, it is in a good location and the buffet breakfast is lovely.

The room was comfortable and had everything you would need for a hotel stay. However, my room was facing the train station and it was quiet at night but every morning the noise from the trains woke me up before 6 am. The breakfast was very basic and didn't offer much for vegetarians. However, they did have gluten free bread. The staff, both at the hotel and restaurant, was lovely. A good stay overall. I will probably stay here again when I come back but will ask for a room facing in the opposite directions.

Great stay, good choices for breakfast. The bathroom situation is abit odd though. The walls of the shower are glass and you can see the silhouettes of people when showering. If staying on your own it’s fine, but a stay with family was a little awkward. Had to opt for showering in the dark instead.

The property was fairly ok. However the beds were awful. Plastic beds. Uncomfortable. Made you sweat even though it wasn’t hot because you were sleeping on plastic! Gross! Pillows were awful also. Wouldn’t stay again purely because of the beds. It’s no good staying somewhere if you can’t sleep comfortably no matter how cheap or affordable it is.

I found the check in process very frustrating, and was overcharged for parking. When I tried to have this resolved the staff were not very helpful. The rooms are ok but you wouldn't want to share a room with someone you are not intimately familiar with as the shower and toilet are basically part of the bedroom and you can hear and see everything.

Good location within reasonable walking distance of restaurants and central areas. Large impersonal hotel. We booked a package that included underground parking, which was easy to access once we knew how (entry was at the back of the hotel. On arrival, one of us had to go up to reception on the 2nd floor to get details). Comfortable room - although quite small it had everything we needed. We changed to a room with a king bed as the two single beds were very small and not the large twin beds we were expecting. Reception manager was helpful. Not many staff visible in the restaurant. We thought the breakfast was poor and not as good as other hotels on our trip. No fresh fruit except apples or pears. Cooked food was very average and sometimes items ran out. Long queues for the coffee machine (which sometimes broke down). Hard to find somewhere to sit.
