Hotels near Jolimont, Melbourne

We were able to upgrade to a suite which was lovely. There was a great view of the sports park and the CBD. The bathroom is very large although quite exposed (it has a glass wall on one side so you must turn on a switch to obscure it. The mirror above the two sinks has the worst possible lighting we've ever experienced in a hotel--so bad we had to walk into the bedroom to find better light--even just to brush our hair. The climate control is integrated into the lightswitch arrangement on the wall so that took some learning. The AC could not keep up with the sun load in the afternoon unless you closed the curtains. The bed and room appointments were very nice. There are plenty of power outlets. The breakfast buffet was really good although the coffee maker needs some directions on how to use it. The location is across the street from a park and a nice walk to the CBD. The room was very quiet. The staff was particularly helpful, and we must commend Concierge Andy for all of his help.

Great location, easy walking distance to Bridge Road. Room was clean, bed was comfy. My own issue was the parking. Limited parking on site and you have to pre-book. No chance of finding a spot in the local area as it's either permit parking or a 1 hour limit. You may be lucky after 630pm. I had to park around 10 minute walk away down a residential street that had free parking after 6pm. But had to get back there by 7.30am before the parking permit rule kicked in. Value for money great.

The staff were very helpful and the parking was very convenient. It cost about 25 euros a night. There is a supermarket opposite the hotel, and eating is very convenient. The environment is very good and the light is very good. There is a self-service laundry service.

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

We were warmly greeted and served by front desk personnel Tina on 28-Nov-2023 evening. Everyone is equally helpful, even though it is a busy hotel with many travellers checking in and out. Hotel room is simple but the hotel location is great, right beside the Chinatown and the CBD area etc. You can walk to anywhere, K-Mart, plenty of restaurants and shops. Lovely breakfast spread enough to start our day well 🥰

We didn’t look to the hotel for more than just a bed for the night, so didn’t check out the other facilities. The bed was comfortable, the shower was nice, and the room was set up in a modern and pleasant way. The room has most of what you need but it is very small, with very little space to even set down a suitcase. I would have preferred access to a full size ironing board rather than a desktop one.

Excellent location just a short walk from North Richmond train station. Very friendly and helpful reception. Apartment was spacious and in good condition with all the normal amenities, and excellent heating on what was one of Melbourne’s coldest nights for the year, although the living room furniture is getting a little old. The only negative was that the guests directly upstairs partied late and then got up very early, a problem because there’s almost no soundproofing between floors.

Didn’t expect that our room has a view of a wall from the next building. I should have taken a photo to show. Halllway is narrow. Buffet food- same food serves everyday and not much choices. Had a tummy bug on our first day after having buffet breakfast. I suspect it is the coffee machine. On a positive note, location is perfect and close to some nice resto.

Although my Dayuse booking said from 2.00pm to 9.00pm, the Comfort Hotel East Melbourne REFUSED TO LET ME STAY IN THE ROOM for the full extent of my booking. After a very confusing argument at check-in, they told me I could stay until 8.00pm, so I agreed and paid. But then at 7.00pm HOUSEKEEPING ENTERED THE ROOM and when they saw I was still there, they brought the woman from reception to INSISTENTLY KNOCK MY DOOR and tell me that I could only be there until 7.00pm!!! SO THEY KICKED ME OUT WHILE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A MEETING BEFORE THE AGREED AND ALREADY REDUCED CHECKOUT TIME, AND KEEP MY MONEY FOR A SERVICE THAT I DID NOT RECEIVE TO THE FULLEST??? I FELT SOOO TRICKED!! THAT WAS NOT OK!! The rooms are clean and nice. The location is great as well. I am just ABSOLUTELY SHOCKED by the way they managed my reservation.

pros: Good situation, Convenient transportation nearby. cons: Maybe cause of detergent or disinfectant of bed sets, I felt my skin was itchy that never happened the hotels I lived before. After I lay down in the bed for 20mins, the itchy feeling came. When I went out, no itchy feeling came. We three people lived in this hotel, I was the first person to feel that. lateron, other two felt like I was. Alo, one of staffs at the front desk is not professional, my room number is 339, I said three thirty nine, he didn't know; I said double three nine, he didn't get it ether and he said I said wrong number. These number expressions are common in the North America
