Our take
Mercure Welcome Melbourne is worth considering for its location near Bourke Street Mall and its on-site café, grill and cocktail bar. I would choose it when a city-centre stay matters as much as the MCG, which is a short public transport ride away. Its 7.2 guest score is modest for a 4-star hotel, so expect a practical stay rather than a standout one.
- Utilize the public transport links near Bourke Street Mall for a quick and easy journey to the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
- Consider the hotel's parking facilities if you're driving, as city parking can be challenging on event days.
- Book the airport shuttle in advance for a stress-free transfer to and from Melbourne Airport.
