Travelzoo have triumphed again with an amazing sale on hotel rooms. This time it’s Melbourne only, but the rates are super cheap — so if you’re off to the Victorian capital anytime before the end of October 2009, then take a look at these bargains:

Brought to you by Hotels.com you can stay at these hotels for up to 50% off:

• 3.5-star Pensione Hotel Melbourne … $48-$58
• 4.5-star Vibe Hotel Carlton … $75-$98
• 4.5-star Medina Executive St Kilda … $78-$85
• 4.5-star Medina Executive Flinders St … $83-$113
• 4.5-star Travelodge Southbank Melbourne … $60-$85
• 4.5-star Medina Grand Melbourne … $83-$100

and there are more hotels – The whole list is here

I’ve included links in the above direct through to more info on each of the hotels too.

The Medina hotel-apartments are a great option, especially for families (or anyone who wants a bit more space and self-catering facilities).

St. Kilda is a great location to enjoy Melbourne from, as you can travel into the city during the day, but you’ve got the beach and Albert Park right there for relaxing, plus lots of great cafes, bars and restaurants on your doorstep.

If you want to be in town, but not ‘in’ the city, then the Southbank is great as you’ve got all the restaurants, cafes, casino and shops right there, but you’re just across the river from the city centre.

But for overall bargain and great looking boutique hotel rooms, the Pensione Hotel right by Federation Square in Melbourne’s CBD looks the best bargain of all.

BUT you’ve got to hurry to book any of these bargains… the offer ends midnight Aussie time 28th August 2009 — so you need to book by midday UK time to be on the safe side.

Sorry for short notice!!

But all the hotels listed have their own offers too, so even if you miss this offer, take a look and see what rates you can get. They’re all great options for a stay in Melbourne.
