Reviews and Ratings
The hotel room was smaller than expected and a bit gloomy with insufficient lighting in both the main room and bathroom. It felt small for two people with only one lounge chair and one bathrobe provided. However, the service was impeccable, with pleasant and courteous staff offering solutions and even upgrading our room. The location was ideal for our concert plans, allowing easy access to nearby attractions and transportation. The dining experience was a letdown due to limited options at breakfast, but overall, the hotel offered great value for the money.
The hotel's location was great, with easy access to the river, restaurants, trams, and city attractions. The rooms, although smaller than expected, were clean and comfortable, offering good value for the price. The service was fantastic, with knowledgeable and friendly staff. The dining experience was decent but could use more variety. Overall, a satisfactory stay with a few minor drawbacks.
I had a fantastic stay at the hotel! The room was spectacular with a view across the Yarra River, and the service was simply amazing, especially thanks to Georgia on front reception and Dave the concierge. The location was convenient, but the dining experience could be improved in terms of service speed. Overall, a great value for money option with fantastic amenities and a few minor drawbacks.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the rooms were spacious with great views, my check-in was delayed, and the pricing felt a bit high. The service, however, was exceptional despite some minor issues with room allocation and early disturbances. The location was central and convenient, although some noise was present. The dining options were varied, but timing for coffee service needs improvement.
The hotel offers stunning rooms with a huge window providing a lovely view of the river, though they were not available until 3 pm. The pool facilities were exceptional, very clean, and maintained at a perfect temperature. On the downside, there was only one dressing gown provided per room.
The hotel is conveniently located near Southbank and Spencer St Station, offering nice Riverviews but lacks free Wi-Fi. The rooms were a bit crowded for two double beds but were changed to a twin bed suite, limiting space. The dining experience was average with complaints about breakfast quality.
I had a fantastic stay at the hotel. The rooms had recently been renovated, very clean, and comfortable. The service was top-notch with friendly and attentive staff. The location was perfect for exploring Melbourne City on foot. The dining experience offered a decent selection, but it could have been better. Overall, a great value for money option.
Staying in one of the new refurbished rooms overlooking the Yarra was a lovely experience, although they were a little on the smaller side. The price seemed a bit overpriced for the condition of a standard double room.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel; the room was nicely decorated and ensured a good night's sleep, although a bit lacking in space.

The hotel offers a mixed experience; while the rooms were smaller than expected and a bit dark, they were impeccably clean after every housekeeping service. The service was pleasant and courteous despite ongoing renovations, and the staff went above and beyond by upgrading our room for free. The location, like a walk-in wardrobe of sorts, provided easy access to public transport and key city spots. The breakfast, though quite small, was nicely presented with plenty of variety. Overall, the hotel delivers value for money with some minor drawbacks.
My stay at this hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms offer spectacular views of the Yarra River and have balconies or windows to open, yet I encountered some noise issues that led to room changes late at night. The service was fantastic, with the staff going above and beyond with a gesture of an additional glass of wine, but some were friendly yet not very helpful. The location is convenient, just at the Crown Casino Towers and close to the exhibition & convention center, but at times felt extremely stuffy due to heat. The dining experience was okay but not brilliant, offering all necessary items but lacking in an extraordinary touch.
The hotel staff were attentive to our needs, although the room experience had some setbacks. The location was fantastic for exploring on foot or using public transport. The dining options were varied, but some aspects needed improvement.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The beautiful view of the river and casino from the room was marred by filthy windows, making it hard to enjoy during the day. The room on a higher level was not serviced and had dirty towels and hair in the bathroom, which was disappointing. The service was fantastic, with staff providing excellent service, although there were some issues left unresolved by the time I left. The location was great and convenient for exploring, but lacked important information in the room. The dining experience was not ordered, leading to disappointment. Overall, a mixed experience with room for improvement.
