Best Western Melbourne City Hotel

Best Western Melbourne City Hotel is a budget hotel in the CBD's free tram zone, and as of early 2026 it states that it is pet-friendly. It is a no-frills, central base rather than a designed pet stay, so go in with the details confirmed.

The pet policy. The hotel describes itself as pet-friendly, but the public listing does not set out a weight limit, a pet fee or which rooms take dogs. Because budget hotels change these terms often, treat nothing as guaranteed and contact the hotel directly to confirm the fee, the size limit and the designated rooms before you book.

The place. Expect compact, budget rooms, with reviewers flagging small bathrooms and shoebox sizing, plus a courtyard. The draw is the price and the location rather than the space, which is worth weighing up with a dog in the room.

Location and nearby. Sitting in the free tram zone makes getting around the CBD easy, with Flagstaff Gardens and other city green space within an on-leash walk.

Before you book. Ring ahead and confirm the dog is accepted for your dates, the fee, the weight limit and any room restrictions. Given the small rooms, ask which room types suit a dog. Bring your own bed and bowls.
