You may have seen it on the internet somewhere, possibly (and most probably) Instagram.

Melbourne’s caravan hotel – the six chrome airstream trailers against a pink backdrop, on the top of a rooftop overlooking Flinders Lane.

In terms of uniqueness, Hotel No is probably one of the best hotels in Melbourne.

These trailers – known as Hotel No – are definitely the ideal accommodation for anyone looking for a unique and convenient place to spend a night in the city.

Or, those like myself who live in Melbourne and fancy a little local holiday – a fun night in with a friend, a date, or your other half.

It’s definitely one of the most unique date night ideas in Melbourne.

This kitted out beauty came with its own private deck and best of all, a HOT TUB.

I don’t know about you, but I’m all for immersing myself in hot or cold bodies of water for hours on end, so it seemed like a good deal to me.

Hotel No: spending the night in an airstream hotel in Melbourne

I’ll quickly run through what you should expect when spending the night at Hotel No in Melbourne.

You’ll find out what the trailers are like, what’s included and whether it’s worth the price.

How to enter Hotel No in Melbourne

Check in time is from 3pm onward, but there’s no concierge at the Hotel No.

Instead, you receive a key electronically, via an app.

Hotel No sits above a car park and the staff there are very helpful.

Once you’ve puzzled your way through a series of doors, you’re in. The electric key is good until 11am the next morning, check out time.

The downside is that you have to have your phone on you at all times. Not ideal if you’re looking to switch off on your overnight trip to the city.

Don’t leave the trailer without it and be careful particularly not to have the door slam shut with your phone inside and your body on the outer!

What to expect inside the airstream hotel

So, what will you find inside one of the Hotel No airstream trailers?

Why, everything you could possibly need for one night.

There’s a comfy queen-sized bed, a bar fridge (more on that soon), an alarm clock with a charger and docking station and an iPad (which you can watch Netflix on).

The room has split-cycle air conditioning, keeping the trailer cosy or cold – much needed for a city with completely unpredictable weather activity. It was cold and rainy while we were there.

In February – ‘summer’!

The bathroom is decently-sized for a trailer and outfitted in pink.

The shower is hot and very pleasing and I am happy to see that Hotel No uses the same brand of recycled toilet paper as I do!

Outside the trailers is a deck with a table and two chairs.

Five of the trailers look out onto each other in a communal living space.

The sixth with Benefits trailer has a private deck, which looks out onto Flinders Lane.

All in all, the trailer comfortably sleeps two, making it an ideal escape for couples celebrating a birthday, anniversary or just each other!

I imagine it would be quite fun to grab a girlfriend and spend a giggly night there together – or hell, go on your own. You’re in for a nice night, regardless.

A night in Hotel No in Melbourne

So, what is there to do once you’re ensconced in your airstream hotel, right in the heart of Melbourne?

Well, it’s pretty easy to while the hours away, as it turns out.

Having booked the trailer with benefits, we had access to the super sweet hot tub (which flashed difference colours once you pressed a few buttons).

In all trailers you’re provided with a super sweet bar full of goodies, mostly of all the alcoholic variety, although there are a few soft drinks on offer too.

Popping open the bottle of champers to drink in the hot tub, is certainly an experience worth having.

There’s also some chocolate and chippies, if you fancy a snack.

As far as dinner goes, the trailers are located in Melbourne’s CBD (Central Business District) and it’s a certainly a city that is known for its array of good food.

You could go dine centrally, but I chose to get takeaway instead.

This wasn’t just any sort of accommodation – it was providing the experience itself.

And the less time spent foraging for food, meant there was more time to be spent in the hot tub.

Although there is some pretty cool street art nearby, if you fancy a wander before checking in or after checking out.
