“Great modern hotel in a great location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 15, 2013

Stayed here for one night back with my husband and we both loved it. Beautiful hotel within close proximity to the Crown complex. Check in was very quick and staff were very friendly. We had booked a standard room and it was huge, modern and very clean. Loved the bathroom and very comfy bed. Had breakfast the next morning which was also very nice. I thought for the price we paid (around $300) this hotel was great value for money. Will definitely be staying here again if I were to stay somewhere near the Crown.

“Excellent Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 14, 2013

Stayed here for our wedding anniversary and we were welcomed back,this is our third visit,like old friends. The hotel agent was kind enough to upgrade us to a room with a beautiful view over Melbourne. Champagne and chocolates were also sent to our room which was a nice touch.
The room was very comfortable but thought that charging for internet connection was a bit rough.
The club on level 28 is really good and the welcome we got from Johnson one of the staff was lovely. The breakfast in the club is outstanding. The only thing the club need to do is to enforce a dress standard. People walking in after 5pm with towels wrapped around them is hardly acceptable.The pool area although lovely is a waste of time as it resembles kindergarten playtime and not a place to relax. Having said that we will return as we like the location,the friendly staff and the club

Room Tip: Go for the club option.For the extra money it is well worth i.t

Thank you very much for your review.

It is great to hear feedback from a regular guest and thrilled that you chose our Hotel to celebrate your anniversary! Johnson is one of our star performers in the 28 club lounge and I will ensure I pass on your comments to him. In regards to the dress code, I can assure you that guests arriving in towels/bathrobes are not permitted and this is monitored by the team. Whilst I cannot comment on your exact experience - let’s hope on this occasion they got a little lost on the way to the pool.

The pool on level 27 is a popular feature of our Hotel and is enjoyed by all our guests. Depending on the time of year the pool can become quite busy. I hope this did not unduly affect your stay with us and we look forward to welcoming you back soon.

Kind regards,

Harley Moraitis

“Great stay, excellent location.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 14, 2013

The Crown Metropol is part of the Crown Complex in Melbourne. It is a beautiful hotel with all the amentities you would expect at a 5* property. The room was spacious, modern, well maintained and clean. The bed was king size and comfy, The curtains opened with a remote control - nice touch!
We chose to breakfast in Mr Hive kitchen & bar each morning where you could choose a simple brekky and coffee at a resaonable price in a lovely atmosphere. Instead of spending $30 plus (each) at the buffet we spent $30 for coffee and a great bacon and egg sandwich each.
We loved the whole complex - great restaurants and bars everywhere and a 10 minute walk into the city mall and shopping.
We took advantage of the pool on level 27. A great space to relax and a large infinity pool that overlooked Melbourne.
This was a great stay and I will definitely stay again.

Room Tip: ask for a room on a high floor and a corner room if available.

“There are better options for the same money”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed March 13, 2013

I found this hotel functional, professional but charmless. And in some ways infuriating - for example valet parking is $50 whereas at Crown Promenade, run by the same company and using the same carpark, 250m down the road in the same complex, its $35. Do management think that customers don't notice this and don't feel ripped off?

Staff were fine without being good, room good without being great, pool area attractive but hot and sticky so not refreshing, no bath but a shower with poor water flow. The fine touches that you expect at this pricepoint are missing.

The hotel is very convenient for the myriad of things that go on at Crown complex and the southern side of the CBD. But there are great, not just OK, hotels in Melbourne for the same money.

“Lovely rooms. Beautiful pool spoilt by kids!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 13, 2013 via mobile

Location was great as it was away from the casino just enough. Room was very quite,comfortable and beautifully designed.
Check in very helpful. Massage at Their Health Spa was top notch and well priced in a relaxing setting. Gym great and enough equipment suitable for most people (not Arnie!).
The pool looks fantastic but spoilt by too many screaming kids. No kid free times to attend, so it was disappointing that you get away from your own kids to be flustered by another's kid. Too noisy and this ruined the atmosphere compared to their promo image.

Thank you for taking the time to review the Hotel.

It is lovely to read that for the majority you enjoyed your stay with us. It is disappointing that your experience was marred by the atmosphere in the pool area. Whilst we do have attendants looking after the pool, it can become quite busy at different times of the year. I hope this did not affect your overall stay as we would love to see you back with us again.
