I have been invited to Melbourne to present a paper at a business conference.
Flew by SIA to Melbourne on the 2330 flight.
Reached Melbourne on Thur 12 Sep 2013 at about 9.15am local time.
From Melbourne Airport, I took the Skybus to the city centre. I've have seen many good reviews of this service via tripadvisor and indeed found it to be a reliable, low-cost airport bus that runs express between Melbourne Airport (Tullamarine) and Southern Cross Station in Melbourne’s city centre – 24/7, with day departures every 10 minutes. The adult fare is AUD 17 for a one way ticket and AUD 28 for a return.
The SkyBus Hotel Transfer Service provides a free transfer service between Southern Cross Station and selected city accommodation. I only need to wait for about 5-8 minutes before a smaller shuttle service arrived and pick me up to my hotel. Very efficient and punctual service indeed.
I stayed at the Travelodge Southbank, Melbourne. Managed to get it at a special room rate of AUD 99 a night. What I liked about this hotel is that its rooms have a kitchenette with microwave and tea & coffee making facilities. It is also within close proximity to the Yarra River promenade walk.
