Centrally located, great service, friendly and responsive staff.

The staff were very friendly and receptive assisting with my request for late check out and it was great that accommodation comes with breakfast. My request for twin beds was also approved. I also loved the beautiful scent on arrival at the entrance lobby.

I can’t think of any for my short stay.

Clean, quiet hotel in a good location

Good breakfast. Very quiet in the room considering the location. Close to Southbank and the NGV.

Only two tea bags in the room. The shower leaked slightly into the bedroom.

Great location close to the arts precinct in Melbourne.

Travelling from out of town we love the location and atmosphere of this city hotel. Reception area also hosts a bar, balcony and vast breakfast room, as well as many areas catering for remote working. We love the full buffet breakfast included with a wide variety of options available (except for the coffee).

The rooms are small and after staying a couple of nights can become cramped. The breakfast coffee (machine) isn't great and quality on offer could be improved.

I’d book it again in winter, but definitely wouldn’t book in summer due to the air conditioning

Modern, clean, very ideal location, easy check in process and easy parking situation

Aircon didn’t work well

Above my expectation, value for money with the level of cleanliness and comfort.

Location is accessible and breakfast is good.

For first timer, parking might be confusing and hotel sign is not easily see from main road until you reach the lane to turn in.

It was a budget hotel and that is what I felt we got.

Location was good, rooms clean.

Breakfast was not special. I would not recommend, tasted like straight out of a packet. No fruit for cereal. No Bacon.

Disappointing

I like the location because it’s just close, we usually go to the Langham but because it’s full booked we really didn’t have a choice but to stay here.

bit disappointing when room isn’t ready when I specifically called prior to travelling because I told them that I have a graduation to attend at 1:30pm. one of the staff I think Asian said come at 12pm so I did, when I reached there no one to help bring luggages up and receptionist told me the room isn’t ready so I have to change and do my make up at a public toilet because room isn’t ready! When we checked in at night one supervisor having her “iced coffee” prior to our check in didn’t even bother hiding it and ignoring us waiting for the guy to check us in. Most disappointing hotel ever. Shouldn’t be working in a hospitality sector. Basic greeting of Hi hello does NOT hurt but if you have staff who’s incompetent and do not care better find another job.

Great location, very central in Melbourne. Could do with a bit of improvement on cleaning

The room was spacious and modern, all in a very good, brand new standard

Glasses at breadfast were poorly cleaned, some had lipstick left on them. In the room during my four nights stay, the mugs were not cleaned and the bins were not emptied, this was surprising, as all the rest was great.

The perfect accommodating hotel

As i am in a wheelchair i require a bit extra space and accessible bathroom/shower. I can always rely on the holiday inn to meet my needs 🙂

Surprisingly Good and Great location

Surprised at the beautiful decor, the full size bar and breakfast and parking was included in the price. The staff were helpful and friendly. The pastries were lovely.

The breakfast hot food was poor, so avoided that counter. We came to breakfast at 8.40 and no fresh fruit left, when I asked the lady went into the back and came back to say there was none left.

Happy with hotel and would stay again.

Breakfast had everything i needed and was yummy and fresh. Location was fine and staff were attentive. Location was easy to get to and transport was available with excellent assistance from desk staff. Close to Crown and many restaurants and food outlets. Also reasonably close to a lot of the major entertainment venues. Rooms are not huge but was adequate for our needs and the price and had all essentials.

Nothing comes to mind.

unhappy with both the hotel and booking.com

Breakfast and the room were good,but what really let the show down is this night's stay was sold specifically with the offer of '12 noon checkout' and when I got there, it was firmly"10 am checkout because we are busy". (even thought I showed them the printed offer of 12 noon checkout.)

I was very unhappy with booking.com and the hotel because they would not honour the 12 noon checkout it was specifically advertised with. I had it in writing, but booking.com said 'we are just an intermediary, you have to ask them...' and the hotel said 'oh, booking.com just puts 12 noon checkout, we only offer 10 am checkout'. Excuses, that is deceptive advertising. I will not use either company again as I have no confidence in what they say.

Nice hotel, nice room. Good location. Poor service

Looked new, rooms were great & close to most attractions

Limited staff. 1 person to checkin people AND to make beverages was appalling Wanted a drink at the bar, run out of everything including tonic & soda water Breakfast was minimal not even bacon, also expected stuff like mushrooms, tomatoes etc. Scrambled eggs only on offer which were watery and no flavour. Juices put in wrong spot in the buffet Housekeeping was done at 4:30pm!!! This is when most people come back from adventures and are ready to wind down or even have a nap. Who cleans rooms at 4:30pm?!? AND to watch her have your top cover just pulled up and smoothed over, didn’t change any sheets underlay underneath was all crinkled and lumpy because it wasn’t made correctly, changed bin and left. Shower wasn’t cleaned and didn’t even check fridge to see if we needed UHT milk replenished. NO bottled water at all in rooms.

A Great Location

Perfect location for river cruises and the Eureka Tower and Sky deck. Good breakfast and pleasant and helpful breakfast staff.

Reception staff were often busy and ignored you when you arrived. They didn’t even bother to say, I will be with you in a moment. I found this rude and unwelcoming.

We had a great time staying at this hotel. Everything is so close and convenient. The room was also clean.

Clean, convenient location and breakfast was nice.

There wasn’t an option for chocolate drinks in the room and breakfast. Milk in the room wasn’t replenished. Cups in the room weren’t cleaned or replaced every day.
