Going to Melbourne during the Australian Open, what areas should I look for a hotel in?

Going to be in Melbourne for a weekend during the Australian Open and the CBD hotels are all in the $300 range. Is there another area/suburb I should look in that is close by train to all the sites of Melbourne?


$300 over 4 nights is just too expensive.Going to Melbourne during the Australian Open, what areas should I look for a hotel in?
Try Melbourne bed and breakfasts or guest houses. There are some really nice ones. Georgian Court in East Melbourne and Hotel Claremont in South come to mind. You will have a much better time in Melbourne if you stay in the city or one of the nice inner city suburbs (Carlton, Parkville, East Melbourne, South Melbourne, Southbank, Richmond) than staying miles out in some suburban area with nothing much to do. Another idea is serviced apartments. Some of the colleges at Melbourne University rent out there rooms over the sumner break - they might be average rooms but Parkville is a nice area right next to the city.Going to Melbourne during the Australian Open, what areas should I look for a hotel in?
well do i have something for you go to www.ytbtravel.com/fkarengi and on those same hotels it will help you save money and get them for maybe $215 at the most i use it all the time
You'll be hard pressed to find anything in the CBD to within 10k of the city that won't be booked out or really expensive. Try hotels in Burwood, Clayton, Sandringham maybe. Summer in melbourne around this time is going to cost you.
Have you tried Richmond it is walking distance and great shopping.Try a few of the last minute sites.

Or go right out Dandenong or Frankston both will take you an hour by train but may be cheaper accommodation
