Lovely stay in a 1 bedroom apartment with river view. Great staff at reception who couldn’t have been more helpful. Amazing view over looking the Yarra river and Southbank. The ****** gas canons going off every hour at night was a surprise attraction. Would definitely stay again.

The room is spacious and comes with various kitchen utensils. The sofa bed in the living room is also very comfortable. However, avoid staying in a low-floor river view room, as the riverfront is right next to a train track and a road, which might make it difficult to sleep.

Response from Property: Dear Guest, Thank you for staying with us and sharing your feedback. We’re pleased to hear you had a comfortable and enjoyable visit. We appreciate your comments regarding the noise. As our hotel is located in the heart of Melbourne’s CBD, some of our river-facing rooms may experience city sounds due to nearby trains and road activity. While many guests enjoy the vibrant views, we understand this may not suit everyone. All our bedrooms are fitted with double-glazed windows to help minimize external noise. For those who prefer a quieter stay, we recommend our internal suites, which are positioned away from Flinders Street while still offering the same level of comfort.Thank you again for your valuable feedback, and we hope to welcome you back in the future.Kind Regards,Shreya, Customer Service Team

The location and reception service were excellent. I’ve stayed at this hotel many times, and before Covid the in‑room dining was a real highlight. Since the restaurant has re‑opened, the in‑room dining service and menu seem to have diminished in quality and variety. The experience felt more like a generic delivery service than the restaurant‑style service the hotel once offered.
Response from Property: Dear Guest,Thank you for staying with us and for your continued support over the years. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed our location. Being within easy reach of Melbourne’s key attractions is something many of our guest's value, so it’s wonderful to know this enhanced your stay. We appreciate your feedback regarding the in-room dining experience. We are sorry to hear that it did not meet your previous expectations. Please be assured that we are continuously working with our team and partners to deliver the utmost quality in both food and service, and to enhance the variety offered to our guests. Your comments have been shared with the team as we review and refine our current offering.Feedback from returning guests like yourself is especially valuable, and it helps guide us as we continue to improve.We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and provide an enhanced experience on your next visit.Kind Regards,Shreya, Customer Service Team

Great river view, the room is clean. The hotel is located in a relatively quiet area at night. There are pubs and restaurants on the opposite side of the river.

Everything is great, it's just a bit noisy because it's near the train station.

Response from Property: Dear Guest, Thank you for choosing to stay with us and for your kind review. We are delighted you enjoyed your stay with us. Our central CBD location places guests within immediate reach of Melbourne’s extensive tram and train network, which is a defining feature of the city and provides excellent connectivity to major attractions, dining, and cultural landmarks. While this convenience is highly valued by many guests, we understand that some background noise may be noticeable at times. All our bedrooms are fitted with double-glazed windows to help minimise external sound However, we do understand that sensitivity to sound can vary from guest to guest. therefore, guests are kindly advised via notice on door handle to keep the bedroom door close before retiring for the quiet and peaceful rest. For those who prefer an even more tranquil environment, our internal suites set away from Flinders Street are always recommended. Your comments are greatly appreciated, and look forward to welcoming you back for another memorable visit. Kind Regards, Shreya, Customer Service Team
