The Westin, Melbourne

Advantages: class and comfort
Disadvantages: slightly pricey for long stays

...You'll see the Westin in Leipzig even from the air! With its 27 floors it is one of the most imponent building in the city, conveniently located 5 minutes walk from the main train station and just 10 minutes walk from the city centre and the shopping area. It has recently gone through extensive renovations and the results are impressive. A massive lobby with lots of seats, 2 bars, friendly and extremely professional staff. The rooms are very comfortable and very very clean. The room service is excellent and the breakfast is absolutely impressive! There is a splendid bar on the 27th floor and the view is breath-taking. Excellent value for money if you wish to enjoy class and comfort to explore one of the most beautiful cities in Germany.... Read review

I think also there is a chance of buying the ticket from the driver. The return service from the centre of melbourne is next to the the melbourne train station, near the docklands stadium.

...Consistently year after year, Melbourne is tagged as 'The worlds most liveable city' - well one of them anyhow. Melbourne is Victoria’s state capital and with 3.2 million people is Australia’s second largest city, and yet sometimes it is overlooked as a tourist destination. There is some considerable rivalry between Melbournians and Sydneysiders, and Sydney certainly tends to have a higher profile for international tourists but Melbourne gets its vote for liveability for good reason and for the tourist there is plenty to recommend it. It’s a food, shopping, sporting, culture mecca. You can easily walk across central Melbourne in an hour, but if you are low on energy levels there is an excellent tram system – but be careful getting out of them. To get your bearings head for the Rialto tower from which you will get excellent views... Read review
