Hotels With Pools in Victoria, Australia

Pros: The room was much more spacious than I expected, very clean, modern, and well-maintained. I also loved having a Smart TV in the room. The service was excellent, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay. Cons: One thing I found disappointing was that there were no women's sanitary products or basic pain relief available, which meant I had to go out early in the morning to purchase them myself. The shower pressure was also quite low, and the water temperature was often colder than expected. Overall: Despite these minor issues, I really enjoyed my stay and felt it offered great value for money. I would definitely consider staying here again.

I booked two hotels on the Southbank of the Yarra River this time. First, let's talk about Crown Towers, which is located further west. My initial impression was luxury. It's connected to a casino and surrounded by high-end luxury stores. The lobby is incredibly grand. My second impression was how friendly it is towards Chinese guests; the elevator buttons have both Chinese and English descriptions, and there were many festive elements for Chinese New Year. The room faced the Yarra River, offering a nice view, and there were various restaurants downstairs, making dining convenient. Walking west from the hotel, away from the bustling Flinders Street Station, and experiencing the quiet, less crowded Yarra River after an evening rain, I truly understood why Melbourne has repeatedly been named the world's most livable city. It was a refreshing and comforting feeling, making me exclaim, 'Life can be so wonderful!' If you have plenty of time, you absolutely must spend a night by the Yarra River. I recommend booking a hotel on the west side. The location might be slightly less central, but it offers a great opportunity to experience the Yarra River away from the hustle and bustle of the city center. Like the Crown Towers in Sydney, the one in Melbourne is also bustling and showy. This doesn't quite align with the typically understated and tranquil vibe of luxury hotels, but perhaps that's also why it offers such good value for money. The pool was crowded in the evening, but deserted in the morning, making for a refreshing swim. Additionally, it's very close to DFO South Wharf (Melbourne's largest outlet mall). We didn't know this at the time and ended up taking a taxi there from our hotel near Melbourne University later on. If we had known, it would have been much easier to just walk over from here.

The hotel's location is excellent, right next to the town hall, making it easy to walk to anywhere in the city center. Although it's a 3-star hotel in an old building, the facilities are very new, the bed is soft, and there's a mini-fridge. The only downside is that the internet can be a bit slow when there are a lot of people, but that doesn't affect my overall rating!

(1) The front desk lady was incredibly condescending. She was clearly of Asian descent, but she looked at us with utter contempt the moment we walked in. Her attitude was completely impatient and rude, and she spoke to us in a superior tone, lacking any professional hotel etiquette. It was really uncomfortable to be discriminated against by another Asian person in Australia – seriously, what's up with that? 😅 Later, when we were leaving, we saw her being incredibly friendly to a Caucasian man, smiling and greeting him as soon as he entered, asking about his needs. What's that supposed to mean? 😅 I was happy until I saw her at the front desk, and then I just wanted to switch hotels. (2) The hotel also completely failed to inform us about the check-out time. It's completely different from the standard 12:00 PM check-out in China. We started getting knocks on our door at 8:00 AM, but no one spoke, so we thought it was a mistake. No one told us it was because we needed to check out. We weren't informed at all beforehand, which resulted in us being ordered to leave immediately. It was humiliating and offensive; we were almost kicked out and were charged an extra $50! ❗️ (3) The other hotel staff were very nice, and the Thai food at the hotel was also delicious 😋. The guests from other countries we met were also very friendly and polite. The breakfast selection wasn't huge, but the fried rice was exceptionally good.

I arrived at late check-in time on 2/11 Sunday and Mildua Inlander's staff was after office hour so I contacted to staff for room check-in by phone call, Staff are so helpful to help me to collect the room key and required admin work. However, due to the resort's layout and my room location(my room is ROOM 90), the circulation of the hotel is not poor, poor room ordering(it is not by 101 for on 1/F like typical hotel, it is using 1-50 for G/F, 51-100 for level 1; if 101-110 for block 1, 121-129 for block 2, 131-139 for block 3, 141-150 for block 4 would be better), no coherent corridor at the end, not much signage and map/easy to miss, no Lift or easy ramp for level 1. so, it is hard to find my room and poor experience before entry the room. Room is good for me. One thing is: can consider to have openable window after the mosquito net on the balcony sliding door if I don't want to turn on the air-conditioner.

The hotel staff were welcoming and ready to help. The hotel ammenities and location itself were perfect, from the pool there was a magnificent view of the sunset overlooking the city buildings. The charging ports in the room were practically placed, the beds were comfy, and the bathroom was modernly designed and spacious. The overall atmosphere of the hotel was calm, inviting, clean and modern, making its shared spaces comfortable to relax. Its convenient location allowed access to ”The District” on Docklands with a range of restaurants and shops alongside public transport. We really enjoyed our stay and definitely would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable, modern and enjoyable stay in Melbourne.

The hotel is right in the town center, and parking is conveniently located right outside the rooms. It's clean and tidy, and there are plenty of dining options nearby. Turn left out of the hotel and just a few steps away, you'll find a street full of restaurants. The very first place on your left serves a great dinner. If you turn right and walk to the end of the street, the breakfast at that spot is fantastic! Their smoked salmon croissant was absolutely delicious!

I stayed here 35 years ago It was good then and still good now The unit block is still the same the room had some renovation good hot water No power point beside the bed but there are few behind the bed once pull the bed out Upgrade could have modernize the needs by providing power extension make it more accessible

Getting here by light rail is very convenient, but the metro station is a bit of a walk, about 15 minutes away. Parking downstairs is also difficult, which can be inconvenient if you've booked a pick-up/drop-off service. The room is fully equipped with an open-plan kitchen and a washing machine, plus a small balcony with a view. My only complaint is that the toiletries were a bit lacking. They only provided a few bars of soap and shampoo. I was really expecting body wash... Since it's an apartment-style accommodation, there's no room service. You also have to take out your own trash bags to the building's rubbish chute. I felt the everyday essentials were a little too basic. The front desk staff's tone was a bit cold, almost indifferent. Perhaps that's just a Melbourne characteristic, but I still find it a bit off-putting.

We stayed in the four bedroom apartment for an inner city holiday with another family. The location is superb, so close to everything and there is a tram directly out the front. The room was spacious enough, quiet and very reasonably priced. Not the cleanest apartment we've ever stayed in, but it is reasonable for the price. I would definitely stay here again.
