I was looking for a hotel in the CBD and near the Mall and had already chosen a couple I though suitable ... but reading the Tripadvisor reviews I opted for this hotel: it was a good choice. The hotel is located near to Southern Cross Station (where arrives the Overland I took from Adelaide) and the bus terminal to... more

We stayed at this hotel for 6 nights in the middle of Oct. It is in a good location, its within walking distance to most attractions and the railway station is at the end of the road. There is parking for a car across the road in a reasonably secure lot, you have to book this when booking your room... more

I would really like to give this hotel a good review. I admire the efforts they've made towards energy reduction and using sustainable energy. That played a large part in my decision to stay there, so keep up the good work on that front. The room itself was nicely appointed and comfortable. My big issue was the noise. This might... more

Stayed at Alto Hotel for weekend of Derby Day. We booked directly through hotel's website the night prior to our arrival. Was happy with the price and its location (it's very close to Southern Cross Station). We checked in late at night with no issues. Hotel is in a reasonably quiet part of town. For those arriving by car, a... more

Really enjoyed staying at this very boutique hotel. Lovely rooms, great 'green' ratings and really friendly, lovely staff. Used the reading nook waiting for my lift on checkout and the warm fire was really appreciated. If I stay in Melbourne again, I'll stay at Alto :) more

I loved this hotel, it wasn't sterile like others and had some character to it. Very Melbournish! I stayed in a one bedroom apartment, which was large, with kitchen and best of all a big spa bath. Nice views across the street to a church. The dinner in the restaurant down stairs was delicious, though service was a little slow.... more

Based on similar feedback we recently changed our our car parking process so that each parking space has a remote control that can be kept by the guest for their entire stay. Most guests have found this much more practical.

We stayed one night in a 1 bedroom spa apartment which was well appointed, very clean and well maintained. The bed was a bit firm but we enjoyed having the TV in the bedroom as well as the lounge. Our room was very much as pictured on the website. Car parking was close by and reasonably priced. We appreciated the... more

Front desk service was very friendly, check in was quick. We stayed in a lovely 1 bedroom apartment facing the street. The room was spotless and well appointed. We did not use the kitchenette during our stay, but it was nice to have the option (4 burners stove top + fridge freezer and dishwasher). The lounge had an LCD TV... more

The room was great, the bed was incredibly comfortable. I loved the fact that it is 100% wind power. But the front desk seemed a little snooty. Maybe I was not as well -dressed as their usual clientele. They also did not allow me to pay for the room through expedia, they made me pay when i checked out. There... more

In summary we aim to deliver a polite yet informal style of service that is intended above all else to be friendly irrespective of the guests appearance or the price of the room. The greeting was not to the standard that we have set and usually obtain as evidenced by other reviews posted. Our booking agreement with Expedia does not...

Had two nights at this Hotel, stayed in a studio room which had heaps of room. Hotel staff were very welcoming, carparking was very cheap for melbourne at $16.00 a night with the ability to come and go during the day as we pleased. We were amazed at how quiet the rooms are, being so close to the Train Station... more
