Le Méridien Melbourne

Melbourne Central Business District Melbourne|0.15km from Hill of Content Bookshop
The Deluxe room we were allocated was possibly the worst view you could get for the most expensive price you could pay. We were allocated a room ( 210) directly opposite the lifts and in the room out view consisted of overlooking a persons apartment and as they were having drinks on the balcony and we were maybe 2metres away from that building there was zero privacy . The curtains were very fine materiel so in order to have some distance between us and them we were forced to keep the heavy drapes closed all day and night . This made the small room very claustrophobic, the windows don’t appear to be doubled glazed so on the lower levels you can hear the bins being emptied and the general rough and tumble of the lower laneways and the residents in the adjacent building having late night drinks . When we enquired about moving rooms we were offered a room two doors down . The annoying thing was they said they were fully booked so there was no rooms on higher floors we could move too . A quick check on Wotif revealed that there were actually rooms available that you could book so there were vacancies , but l guess it was better to hold them open to get top dollar rather than to accommodate current guests who’d paid upfront 2months prior . I would have moved current guests who had a legitimate concern if it had been me making the decision as a gesture of support, but l guess they weren’t to concerned because we’d paid already but that type of contempt for guests who chose to stay in good faith wears thin . Not a pleasant stay wouldn’t recommend and will be happy for a refund !

Stamford Plaza Melbourne

Melbourne Central Business District Melbourne|0.21km from Hill of Content Bookshop
My husband and have stayed at The Stamford Plaza times many times over the years and have always loved it, but this was the first time bringing the kids, as we wanted to treat them to a special night out in the school holidays. PROS - The pool and spa were the highlight of our trip. After reading some previous reviews about the water being too cold we were a little concerned, but they were both absolutely wonderful. The pool area was clean and the pool was lovely and warm. The spa was perfect and HOT - just the way we love it. My children LOVED the glass elevator, this was a real thrill for them and they are already asking when we can go back to go in it again. We did meet some lovely staff during our stay, and check in and check out was fast and easy. The room was nice and clean. There is absolutely no view of the city lights (we were looking out onto a wall) but this is just due to the location and can't be helped. The central location is fantastic. CONS - No valet - I'm sure this was a service that used to be offered in the past? Our bags took nearly 2 hours to be delivered to our room, and this was time wasted that we were planning on heading out to explore the city. They only arrived after several follow up calls asking how much longer they would be. We only had 2 towels (and no robes) in our bathroom, even though our booking was for a family of 4. When our bags arrived, we asked the gentleman to please provide 2 more towels for the kids but they never came. We ended up needing to take 2 extra towels from the pool area back to our room. Our 'Indulgence Package' included a bottle of wine which we were told would be brought up to the room. This also never came and I needed to ask for it upon checking out. The real let down though was the buffer breakfast, which was included in our package. We have stayed at many 4 and 5 star hotels and this was possibly the worst breakfast we have come across - I wouldn't even rate it a 2. The coffee machine was broken, and there was no service asking if we would like a fresh tea or coffee. My son had the pancakes (pre-made sitting out with the bread) and he said they tasted stale and crumbled in his mouth. The hot food (eggs, bacon, tomato, hash brown) were all stone COLD - not even luke warm. I considered asking if they could pop my plate into the microwave to heat them up but lost my appetite wondering how long it had been just sitting out there. And the fresh fruit was dry and looked like it had been sitting out a long time. I wish we hadn't taken take package with breakfast included, as we could have had a hot breakfast for much less $$ from the McDonalds just around the corner. Our package also included late check out to 12 noon however our keys did not allow us entry back in after 11am. OVERALL - We would stay at the Stamford again however I think they need to advertise it for what it truly is - a 4 star hotel. We have stayed at many 5 star hotels in Melbourne such as Crown Towers, the Langam and the H

InterContinental Hotels Melbourne, an IHG Hotel

Melbourne Central Business District Melbourne|1.33km from Hill of Content Bookshop
Stayed here as a Diamond Ambassador in an iconic suite - Check in experience was great, warm welcome, benefits acknowledged and welcome drink provided. Amazing room, ridiculous amount of space, comfortable bed, great little office/working area. Unfortunately, the general level of service/care factor is lacking especially when staying in a room costing over 1k a night! One of my complimentary water bottles was open/used and about half empty, yuck. Later that day I wanted to use my $25 credit on the minibar 200ml bottle of gin (which is listed as inclusive of 4 mixers). Gin was missing from the mini bar I couldn't find it. Called down to reception to ask if it was by request, they assured me it should be there and would send someone up. Waited 2 hours and no one came which frustrated me as I was waiting so called down again and was assured someone was on the way. Someone did arrive with a huge bag full of everything except the gin. When questioned didn't seem to know what I was talking about, I had to point to it on the minibar menu and was met with a very confused expression, he left. Then about 30 minutes later a different person arrives with the gin bottle, success. However upon checkout there were a bunch of mini bar items charged which I hadn't consumed, and in fact were not even missing. I hate having to have that conversation but after only 3 words they were ”happy to remove them” which makes me think this isn't an uncommon occurrence. I later noticed that the mixers were charged as well where as they should have been included with the gin purchase cost, but I couldn't be bothered wasting my time to try and sort it out. Club lounge service was attentive but did fill up and get quite busy in the evenings however my drink was always topped up and the staff there were friendly and engaging. Temperature control seems non-existent in the room and I'm convinced it makes no difference what you set it to. I had my do not disturb on until mid morning, so as I was leaving for the day dropped by reception and said I may have missed housekeeping and could they have someone make up the room. Arrived back a few hours later and it hadn't been done. All up a real mixed bag here, but can't help feel my simple requests were a bother and inconvenience.

Rydges Melbourne an EVT hotel

Melbourne Central Business District Melbourne|0.06km from Hill of Content Bookshop
What we liked: The location was ideal Didnt have to wait long for a lift to come The bed was comfortable There was an asian man who was very polite and helpful and on one occasion applogised on behalf of the staff members who double charged me What we didnt like: Most of the staff were very rude. The afternoon/night staff were terrible. A guy with a beard and a tall dark haired woman were very rude and condescending when we asked simple questions Another set of staff didnt believe me when i said i had paid for parking and made me pay again. I went and got my partner who had proof of the transaction then i was told id get a refund I didnt get an apology from them The room was very dirty and dusty and i had to ask for it to be clean on arrival. However the floors still werent vaccuumed. The windows didnt open so there was no fresh air in the room The air conditioning system was extremely loud and made it difficult to even have a conversation while it was on. But it was the only way to get any sort of air circulation in the room Our allergies and hayfever flared up severely which made it almost impossible to sleep due to the stuffiness and uncleaniless of the room and lack of fresh air. The pool was dirty and had things floating in it. There was a deflated pool toy that appeared to be sitting at the bottom of the pool for a long time We didnt use the pool I needed to go to the bathroom so went to go before leaving however the pool toilets were so unclean it was  not useable. (And i work on public transport so i am use to imperfect toilets) The layout of the bathroom was very odd. You had to open the door, squeeze into a small space, andShut the door to use the toilet. There was no bench space or fan either. So it is not ideal for getting ready for a night out The only arm chair in the room had bad, questionable stains on it so it was useable. We travel a lot and are coming back to Melbourne in a couple of months, however we definitely would NOT stay here again  We have also told our friends not to stay here. The cleaning staff and housekeeping staff were kind and approachable However they clearly dont have the time or supplies to clean the rooms properly. The front desk staff were very rude and unapproachable.

Mantra 100 Exhibition

Melbourne Central Business District Melbourne|0.19km from Hill of Content Bookshop
Location: The location of the hotel is very convenient, many sightseeing points and shops are at walking distance (10-15 min). Moreover, there is a plethora of restaurants around the hotel and China Town was also a 10 min away. Cleanliness: Although the room looks clean at first glance, without room service available, the room can get messy and dirty really quick. Moreover the toilet and cooking area are relatively small, which makes everything cramped together and drips everywhere. Another thing to note is that the shower place in the bathroom does not have proper enclosement which will cause water to splash all around when taking a shower to bath, especially the water closet which causes a lot of inconvenience. Service: The staffs at the counter are very helpful and friendly. Not only they were polite but they will help and make your stay as pleasant as possible by assisting you with your needs (extra amenities and beds). General Facilities and amenities: Even though you can always ask for extra amenities from staffs, the facilities ans other services in this hotel is completely lacking. As mentioned, there is no house cleaning service provided nor there are any other recreational facilities such as swimming pool or in house kitchen. Another point to note is that Mentra 100 is not a big hotel, they only provide 1 or 2 room selections. If you are travelling with 4 ppl or above it is best to keep this in mind as some people might need to sleep in the living room given the limited space.

Sofitel Melbourne on Collins

Melbourne Central Business District
The first time I drove a sports car, the parking guy trotted over to greet me every time and could remember my name. Later, my car was repaired, and this time I came with a car provided by the insurance company. I parked more than ten times for three days and three nights, and every time I was asked to wait, I couldn’t remember me every time, and every time I was asked why I was here, I was here to ****. Live directly next time crown.

I travel as family of 5 people with kids. Surprisingly clean big room with 2 bed room. Comfy beds. Large weardrobe. Spacious living room, and perfect kitchen and balcony. Downstairs have mini market, At the back is China Town area.. Basically easy for foodies and quiet area. But, WiFi is bad 😓, cannot work online. And the lift is on maintenance for couple of months, so we need to queue up. Overall is great.. Will surely comeback 🙏😁

Centrally located this hotel is just above average. Secure Parking next door is offered but not guaranteed. Room service food is ok but not as hot as you would expect. Room is a good size & clean and neat. Staff very friendly. Good for a few days or overnight stay. Restaurants in the area are varied and abundant.

The location is good and it is very lively to go out. On the side is Chinatown. The food is very rich. It is also close to the concentrated place for us to join the tour group. The hotel facilities are very ordinary. It feels that it has been clean for a few years but the cleaning is still clean.
