About
Parkville Motel
Parkville Motel sits in a residential pocket of Melbourne, roughly 6 km from the Shrine of Remembrance. The property offers a no-fuss base with free private parking, Wi-Fi throughout, and a 14:00–23:30 check-in window. Rooms come with air conditioning, heating, and tea and coffee facilities, while the guest rating of 7.1 reflects consistent satisfaction with location and staff.
Travellers consistently highlight the motel's proximity to public transport — a nearby train station and tram line — as well as its closeness to Sydney Road's shops, cafes, and pubs. The building is described as quiet, with a park opposite and the Melbourne Zoo within walking distance. Service scores well (Staff 8.2), and the value-for-money rating is a modest 6.7, suggesting rates can feel slightly high for what's offered.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Value for money rated below average — The value category sits at 6.7, and one guest noted the price was reasonable only for a standard room, hinting that rates can feel high relative to what's offered.
- Check-in has a strict window — Check-in is only available between 14:00 and 23:30, which may be tricky for late arrivals or early flights.
- No pets allowed — The motel doesn't permit pets, which could be limiting for travellers with animals.
- Only two room types listed — The property appears to offer just a Family Double Room and a Twin Room, which might not suit solo travellers or those seeking a king bed option.
