Melbourne: where to stay, where to eat, where the locals drink.
Pub accommodation in Melbourne puts you in a real neighbourhood rather than a city tower. The College Lawn Hotel is a traditional pub in Prahran, close to Chapel Street and the Prahran Market. The Middle Park Hotel is a boutique pub in bayside Middle Park, near Albert Park Lake and a tram ride from the city.
Both are good-value stays with a bar and a meal downstairs. They're run by their publicans, so your enquiry goes straight to the pub — no booking fees.

Affordable pub accommodation in Melbourne
A pub room is usually the best-value bed in town. You're paying for a clean room in a good spot, not for a lobby — and both Melbourne pubs listed here are run by their publicans. You enquire with them directly, so there are no booking fees and no commission built into the rate. Most publicans here quote directly rather than publishing rates online — send an enquiry with your dates and they'll come back with a price.
Traditional pubs in Melbourne
One of these is a traditional pub — rooms upstairs, bar and bistro below, usually right on the main street. The rooms are simple and priced to match. Some have an ensuite; others share a bathroom down the hall, the way pub rooms always have. Each listing says what's included, and the publican will tell you exactly what you're getting when you enquire.
