About

Richmond Hill Hotel - Melbourne

Richmond Hill Hotel is a no-frills 3-star property on Church Street in Melbourne's Richmond district. The hotel offers straightforward rooms with private or shared bathroom options, a sitting area, tea and coffee facilities, and a flat-screen TV in each. Paid Wi-Fi is available throughout the property.

Its position is the main draw: about 1.5 km from the Melbourne Cricket Ground, with the train station and tram stops nearby, plus a bakery, supermarket, and a relaxed cafe scene within walking distance. The hotel keeps things simple — no gym, pool, or restaurant beyond a continental breakfast — and guests consistently praise the friendly, efficient staff.

Worth weighing

  • Dark hallways and basic lighting — One guest noted dark, dingy hallways and found room lighting could be brighter.
  • Continental breakfast only — Breakfast is continental style, not a hot breakfast — guests who expect a cooked spread may be underwhelmed.
  • Early check-out time — Check-out is at 10:00, which may feel early for leisure travellers.

“Staff were good. It's a 3-star hotel, but the room was comfortable and warm, breakfast fine. Hallways a bit dark and dingy, and room lighting could be better. Would stay again though.”

“Breakfast had lots of choice (porridge, bread, Nutella, jam, fresh fruit) and was topped up until the end. Location great near the botanical garden and a relaxed cafe scene — we almost preferred it to the city centre.”
