Have a look at Hotel Ibis, 25 Therry St Melbourne.Good location.Should be in your price range.

Melbourne is a safe city, there are no areas that are particularly dangerous.<BR><BR>King Street between Flinders Street and Collins Street is a nightclub area, as is Flinders lane between Exhibition Street and Swanston Street both areas can have rowdy groups late at night. <BR><BR>If you look at Lastminute.com they have a large list of the city hotels, prices, locations and facilities.

Hi<BR><BR>You can look into the Oakford chain of suites/apartments. We stayed at an Oakford near Parliament (very close to the subway) and had a small but nice 1 bedroom apt. I believe they have some two bedroom ones also. It was Oakford Towers, I believe.<BR><BR>Another site you can check with is www.needitnow.com.au and www.wotif.com.au. both of these gave us great last minute rates.<BR><BR>Have a great time and take in their zoo - it's a fantastic zoo!

Thanks everyone for your advice.<BR>I will let you know how we get on.<BR><BR>Muck
