Chairs in the reception area were shabby and well worn

Location easy access to shopping and restaurants

The bathrooms were old and dated and nobody really likes a shower over three bath. The reception staff were mostly nice but there was just one who was quite rude and unwilling to help.

Pool was great. Room was clean and spacious. Amazing location.

Microwave in the room would have been good to heat the coffee

location was good and the room was well setup with a coffee machine.

It is getting a little tired and the bathroom needs a refurbishment desperately as it is so well used it feels dirty even though it’s not. The room is not small but has too many doors and rooms and nooks and crannies. If you opened the bathroom up and the area where the cupboard is it would feel so much bigger and nicer … new carpet or floating floor with a rug and better lighting ajdbit would feel so much better!

Great centrally located and great breakfast and value for money. It was cosy and pretty neat. Nice toiletries.

Asked for a quiet room, but received one on level 6 with a bathroom whose cistern made an ongoing noise once flushed. There was no door between the bedroom and lounge to cut out the noise. The old-fashioned bathroom required users to step over the bath to get into the shower. The light switches were confusing. No doctor was linked to the hotel. Dinner appeared to be in a noisy bar. Our room was promoted as including breakfast, which was subsequently offered to other guests at $1 per day.

The large room, including lounge and kitchenette, is excellent value. The location is excellent. The housekeeper was very obliging.

Very nice hotel with great access to trains and trams

The decor was a bit tired. As there are two sections to the hotel with two co-joining covered bridges it was a bit of an effort to use the pool at the top of the other tower block.

The property was in a great location near to great restaurants and theatre area.

The room was dark as the view outside the window was a brick wall.

Central location, room was bigger than other hotels in Melbourne.

We asked for a toothbrush and toothpaste and the hotel staff was not ver impressed that we made this request. And he had to delivered it to our room.

The spa

I would have liked a better explanation about the $100 extra that was put onto the room as security. It should’ve been explained that the $100 was added to the charge of the room. I would have preferred a separate amount so I could see it be refunded afterwards as a separate amount. Also should’ve been advised about the entrance to use after hours. Initially I thought I was locked out until I could see a side entrance - just made me panic for a few moments

Some items were missing with the Complementary toiletries. Didn't expect that.

Location and decore. Friendly service.

The bathroom was an odd layout. Clean and marble appointed, but I continually hit my ankles and feet on the toilet to get into the shower / spa bath. The spa was pretty good though - 2 & 1/2 jets out of the 4 were working. Water pressure from the shower head could improve.

In an excellent location near theatres, cafes and restaurants especially China Town, the Stamford Plaza is an excellent older style lux hotel. There are 2 towers. I stayed in the one with restaurants and bar downstairs that you cross a laneway to get to. The main tower has reception on ground with the gym and pool on the 16th top floor. The gym was well equipped and clean although there are no free weights (dumbells, kettlebells etc), but good for cardio with treadmills, steppers and a rowing machine. There are also fixed weight machines such as lat pulls, leg press, rows, shoulder/pec press etc. I didn't try the pool this time but it looks lovely. Next time. Harry's Bar downstairs has a happy hour from 4pm-6pm with discounted house spirits, beer and wine, which was a pleasant break after shopping and exploring the city. Robes and slippers are a nice touch too. Beds were very comfortable as were the feather down pillows. The rooms were huge, and the kitchens well equipped with stove top (but no pots or pans so BYO), dishwasher, bar fridge with mini bar, and kettle toaster, crockery etc.

The pool temp was abit cool for our liking. And the buffet would be nice if it continued to be able to have brunch

The staff and cleanliness

Stayed in April 2024

Would have liked to have more bathroom toiletries supplied and more towels. We also needed to ask for more tea/coffee supplies as there weren’t many in the room apon arrival.

Room service was prompt and the room was very quiet, clean and comfortable . Was surprised to have a small kitchenette in the room.
