“Great location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 14, 2013

Stayed here for 3 nights In Feb. Room was nice, well appointed and very similar to website. Bed was comfy, breakfast buffet was pretty good, service was good and room pretty clean. Location is great too. Overall a very good property and pleasant stay. I would certainly come back.

Only issues we had really are:
1. Room lighting is poor. It's very dim and certainly good for mood lighting but reading/working it was not enough.
2. Dust levels a little higher than I would expect. While things seemed clean enough there was a fair amount of dust about, around the headboard/wall thing, the lamps and the bed reading lights. Being asthmatic I am not a big fan of dust!

Also, we were apparently upgraded upon check in to a premier room due to a large school tour. The room looked on to the atrium which I didn't actually want as I hate not having natural light in mornings, once reason why we chose to go with the standard room in the first place. Other than that and a couple of bottles of water it was not much different from the standard room. I probably would choose to NOT upgrade if possible next time.

“Prime location!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 14, 2013

Set in the middle of the CBD this hotel is an absolute gem. From the minute we walked through the door, we could not fault anything. Service was excellent, from the concierge when we first walked in to the staff at reception. Every little query we had was answered and always with a smile. Set in the middle of Collins street, it is only a walk away from trams, the train station and the main streets of the CBD. Perfect for sightseeing and shopping. Will definetely stay here again!

“Staff are exceptional....with only one or two exceptions!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 14, 2013

We always love staying here for the location, value and fantastic staff. Two of the breakfast 'team managers' were rushed and abrupt.....other than that, every staff member is friendly and helpful. Franzi at reception is brilliant, and the concierge guys couldn't be more helpful. The location is great, the rooms are clean and comfortable, and breakfast is substantial and very nice. We will stay again!

“brilliant location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 13, 2013

This hotel is perfectly located in MEL CBD .
Room was outstanding, beautifully appointed with a great view of the city.
I had requested twin beds and was originally told that would not be possible but upon checking in ,they had 'sorted it' and we got the 2 beds.
Bathroom could do with a bit more bench space to put toiletries on but we are nitpicking here.
Concierge downstairs was so very helpful with airport transfers, walking to restaurants, transport to venues, and breakfast venues, Thanks Richard we enjoyed Solarino.
the pool area is located within the confines of the shopping centre/hotel and as we did want to have a swim it was the least enjoyable, small pool,cloudy with chlorine, dark and dank corner.
but dont let that put you off for a millisecond as all in all this is a well appointed , great located hotel for leisure or business.
