“Clean rooms, great location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 3, 2013

My husband and i stayed here for the weekend after christmas. Check in was quick and very friendly. Hotel was very clean and Fresh. The view from our room on the 9th floor was lovely! Bed was soft and comfy and the room and bathroom were very clean.

Best thing is the location, a 2 minute walk accross to the massive Crown complex, right near a million fabulous restaurants along the lovely southbank area. Also only a 5 minute walk in the other direction to the train station, where you can easily take a train to the best shopping in melbs at Melbourne Central. Or you can catch a train right to the MCG and watch an AFL game, or in our case a Cricket game.

Overall a very pleasant expierience at the Crowne Plaza Melbourne, we would most definitley stay here again when we come back if we can get a good rate as sometimes it can be a bit expensive for a nicer room.

“Good location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 1, 2013

The most positive part of our stay here was the location, 5 min walk to Crown Casino and 10 min to Flinders station. The rooms are so-so, and service 4.5 star. It had great views of the fire works on NYE, if you book the rooms with city views. Otherwise, there is no luxury comfort to talk about, nor are the staff super friendly.

Room Tip: Ask for city view

Thank you PFirst123 for your feedback.

We have to agree with you that the location of Crowne Plaza Melbourne and the views of the City and Yarra River are terrific, especially on New Years Eve. We were however disappointed to read that on this occasion our service was not up to the standard we strive to deliver to all our guests.

Your feedback is very important for us, as it allows us too continually improve.

We hope to see you back in Melbourne and at the Crowne Plaza Melbourne very soon.

Kind regards

“Good Rooms & Great Location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 23, 2012

Good size rooms and kept very clean. Very nice breakfast and a quiet bar for drinks in the afternoon. Awesome location in heart of Melbourne, easy walk to Crown casino and South Bank where there are plenty of resturants to choose from and there is something for everyone and every budget,

Room Tip: Floor 2 was fine.
