Great one night stay.
Great one night stay before fly off. Had a great view from the balcony on 6th floor. Loved the pool and spa.
It is noisy as near trains and bed is little old and hard. Otherwise loved the stay.

A Grand old hotel
We chose this hotel for our 2 night stay, as it was close to the train station, as we use the V/line country service. It was also accessible to public transport, which we used to get to our 2 shows.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. Check in was easy. And our room was very spacious with all the kitchen equipment we needed.
Would definitely recommend and would stay here again.

Great room, great location, and friendly staff
The suite was very nice with a balcony overlooking Spencer Street. Very convenient location, just a short walk to train station, Exhibition Center, many restaurants, etc. It's an older building so it's a bit quirky, but we'd definitely stay there again. Very satisfied customers!

Spacious room and great location
Great location, 5 mins walk from Southern Cross station. Spacious room in historical building with kitchen and sitting area. With easy access to trams, can reach shops and restaurants under 15 mins or by walk 20 to 30 mins to town hall.
We will book again for future Melbourne trip.

I stayed for just one night to attend the Australian Open and work from Melbounre the next day. I had the best CBD hotel experience in quite a while. Very unique, historic building, excellent customer service and spacious room. I also enjoyed teh pool very much. Top value for money. I will be staying again.

I like the personalised helpful service.
The extra mile taken by the hotel
Manager to write a personalised card and gift chocolates every time you come back is amazing.
Although the hotel
Is getting old, it’s still
Got character, spa, sauna, pool that work great.
