My experience was totally awesome together with my friends. We were safe and well taken care of during the entire trip

All good except that the room is a little dusty. Because I have sinusitis and sensitive to dust, I kept sneezing. One other feedback is there should be disposable slippers in the room as the floor is partially concrete and it gets very cold in winter. The staff at the reception are nice and friendly.

Choosing a hotel in Melbourne's CBD (Central Business District) offers the ultimate advantage: unparalleled convenience! You'll not only benefit from the Free Tram Zone, making it easy to reach major attractions and hidden laneway cafes, but also enjoy an unbeatable selection of nearby restaurants, supermarkets, and shopping. While real estate in the city center is premium, often leading to higher room rates and smaller rooms, the time and energy saved on transportation are absolutely worth it. For first-time visitors to Melbourne or travelers who prefer a lively and convenient location, the CBD is definitely the top choice for exploring this vibrant, culture-rich city!

I booked a twin room, and the official website showed standard photos. However, I was very disappointed to be given a twin room with an accessible bathroom upon arrival. I immediately went to the front desk to address this. The staff was very helpful, but unfortunately, that was the only room left. They offered to upgrade me to a room with a kitchen for an additional 10 AUD and specially arranged to split the large bed into two smaller beds. So, we agreed to the room change. Therefore, those booking a twin room might want to consider this.

I had a wonderful stay at Pegasus Apart’Hotel and would happily stay here again! The room was cleaned daily, always smelled fresh, and was equipped with useful amenities such as a microwave, kettle, kitchen utensils, and a mini refrigerator, making my stay very comfortable. Housekeeping regularly changed the towels and linens, made the bed, and refilled toiletries. A few times some coffee sachets were missed, but reception quickly sent refills when requested. I was especially impressed by the staff’s responsiveness. When my hair dryer broke, I called reception and someone came to check it immediately and provided a replacement. The Wi-Fi was stable throughout my stay, and every staff member I encountered was friendly, professional, and helpful. Although the view from my room wasn’t quite what I expected, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Thank you to the entire team for making my visit so comfortable and memorable. I will definitely be booking with you again the next time I return.

The location is convenient and close to the city center. It's a 3-minute walk to Victoria Market, and getting to other attractions in the city center is just as quick and easy. The room is excellent and spacious. The bedroom, bathroom, and living room all feel very roomy. There's also a dining table, microwave, and refrigerator for preparing simple meals. Overall, I'm very satisfied.

What to know before visiting Melbourne
What to expect in Melbourne
Melbourne’s busiest Klook bookings are for Tours, followed by Zoos & aquariums, Museums and Outdoor & sports activities, with Historical sites also showing steady interest. Demand swings through the year: July is the peak month for bookings while March tends to be much quieter, according to Klook booking data. That seasonal rhythm makes Melbourne a year-round city for culture, wildlife and active outdoor days — choosing when to visit depends on whether you want festival atmosphere or smaller crowds. Decide whether you prefer peak-season buzz or quieter sightseeing based on those trade-offs and Klook trends.
When to visit Melbourne
July stands out as the busiest month and March is the quietest, per Klook booking data. Prices follow a similar rhythm: the priciest month on Klook is July with a median price of PHP 3,092, while the lowest typical price appears in January at PHP 476, so crowds and prices peak together. For lower prices and smaller crowds aim for January or March; for the liveliest city atmosphere and events choose July but expect higher typical prices.
| Month | Demand Level | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| January | Quieter than usual | PHP 476 |
| February | Quieter than usual | PHP 892 |
| March | Quieter than usual | PHP 1,189 |
| April | Busier than usual | PHP 1,130 |
| May | Busier than usual | PHP 2,498 |
| June | Busier than usual | PHP 2,438 |
| July | Peak demand | PHP 3,092 |
| August | Quieter than usual | PHP 2,319 |
| September | About average | PHP 1,724 |
| October | About average | PHP 1,724 |
| November | About average | PHP 1,903 |
| December | Quieter than usual | PHP 951 |
Demand is bookings in that month compared with a typical month, from historical Klook booking data, grouped into the demand levels above; typical price is the median paid on Klook in that month; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, July 2025 – June 2026.
Where to stay in Melbourne
Klook hotel data shows a clear price spread between districts: North Melbourne is the most affordable district on average with a typical nightly rate around PHP 5,114, while East Melbourne sits at the priciest end with about PHP 13,201 per night, a gap of roughly 61%. The more affordable end suits travellers prioritising lower nightly costs and a practical base for sightseeing; pricier East Melbourne suits those wanting higher-end hotels and a more premium stay experience. These comparisons are based on Klook booking data and typical nightly rates.
Tips for travellers from the Philippines
Most travellers from the Philippines book experiences about 6 days ahead, while the earliest planners book roughly 18 days out, according to Klook booking data. That typical lead time means you can often stay flexible and book a day or two before travel, but during July — the peak month — locking itineraries in earlier is wise. Many travellers find success reserving tours and popular activities on Klook a week or two ahead to secure preferred times. Use Klook to compare typical prices and availability and book confidently when you spot the option that fits your travel style.
