“We had a wonderful Easter stay at this heritage hotel. The rooms were spacious and spotlessly clean. The location was perfect, with easy access to public transport and key landmarks. We also appreciated the complimentary internet and the newspaper delivered to our door.”

“The single bed was comfortable and we liked the room. There's a good food option just 400 feet away – the deck cafe. No complaints at all; we would definitely return.”

“Convenient location near a tram stop, making it easy to explore the Central Business District. Lots of dining options nearby, like Beluga Cafe, only 10 minutes away. Don't forget to check it out!”

8.6Verified guest

“Friendly staff, intimate atmosphere, location (outside the busy city centre but not too remote), restaurant, architecture, amenities, and proximity to public transport are all great.”

8.6Verified guest

“The staff were excellent. I was initially unhappy with our room as it was very small and had a double bed, while we're used to a king. When I asked for a room with a queen bed, they were on it immediately and gave us a larger room with a king bed for an extra $10 a night. Overall, the stay was very pleasant.”

“What makes a 5-star hotel? One where you feel at home, not a modern hotel factory. Here I felt at home, with cozy people, good food, and a lovely warm atmosphere. I'll be back on my next visit to Melbourne.”
