Hayley, Australia

Great location, in the center of the CBD and within the free tram zone. Close to shopping on Bourke and Collins, Chinatown, food and graffiti lanes off Flinders Ln.

Mahmoud, United States of America

Stayed for two nights when we took our daughter to see a show in Melbourne. Smack bang in the middle of the city, everything within walking distance, Her Majesty's Theatre looked fabulous at night from our windows, daughter loved the rooftop pool which was lovely and warm even on a cold Melbourne morning. You get a $10 food and beverage voucher for each night you refuse housekeeping, we used these for a discount on room service food we ordered.

Meg, Australia

Bed was extremely comfortable. Staff were lovely On check out we told staff there was no milk in our room for coffee, apology was genuine and gave us a voucher form free coffee from restaurant.

Linda, Australia

Gemma, United Kingdom

We want to give a huge Thankyou to all the staff and the manager as we had some problems at arrival and everything was assorted to right away and even much more then we would ever expect , this was the best hotel experience my partner and myself have ever had. We are from New Zealand and we loved our holiday !

Shayla, New Zealand

My partner and I enjoyed our stay very much. Hotel is in a perfect location and the service was fantastic. On arrival we enjoyed a (much needed after 4 hours travel!) complimentary drink from the bar and the Waygu burger was to die for. We enjoyed spending some time relaxing in the bar with lots of delicious cocktails on offer.

Michelle, Australia

Close proximity to the theatre district which suited us perfectly.

눉This is petty, but the only thing I didn't like was the TVs in our suite, excruciatingly slow changing channels, one would only turn on if I pushed the info button on the remote (?!), not the actual power button. Wouldn't stop me staying there again though.
눇Stayed for two nights when we took our daughter to see a show in Melbourne. Smack bang in the middle of the city, everything within walking distance, Her Majesty's Theatre looked fabulous at night from our windows, daughter loved the rooftop pool which was lovely and warm even on a cold Melbourne morning.

눉Cleanliness of facilities was very poor including the lobby (the carpet is filthy!) and room itself (there was paint everywhere, it was like a work experience kid tried to paint it). Also, what hotel allows inebriated guest to run around the hallways yelling and screaming at 2 am in the morning? Definitely won't be going back.
눇Location is good if attending a show at Her Majesty's Theatre.
