What guests think

Staff are frequently described as friendly and helpful, though some report unattended reception, long check-in queues, and impersonal kiosk-based processes. Rooms are generally quiet and comfortable with occasional great views, but several note small or basic layouts, noise from streets or doors, and inconsistent maintenance. Breakfast is often praised for quality and value, while on-site dining and room service can be limited or inconsistent; parking is via a nearby public car park with ticket validation and varying costs. Expect a convenient base with trade-offs in polish and consistency.

No staff around for check in which was disappointing, paid for a deluxe King bed/room which ended up being 2 singles pushed together. Unfortunately no parking onsite. You have to park your car in the public carpark around the corner and walk back to the hotel which is annoying for unloading luggage. TV has no facilities for cable channels or to use streaming services. Overall average stay. Felt it was overpriced for what we got.

Great location. Plenty of dining options available around the property. Parking available at Wilson. Hotel validated parking. $30 per night. Be sure to print your tickets and bring it to the reception for them to validate it instead of tapping your card to get in the parking lot!

Great self check in. Only one lift working during two day stay over a public holiday long weekend. Not great with long waits. Worst shower water pressure ever experienced that was barely a trickle everytime. Twin room booked into an accessible room was not what was expected that we paid for. Overall disappointing stay.

This hotel is close to everything at Southbank and walking distance from the city. There is also a taxi rank across the street. The staff are friendly. The price was very reasonable. Breakfast was pretty good (discounted if ordered the day before). The cleaning provided during the stay was basic (eg no clean wine glasses provided and no dishwashing liquid provided to wash them - fairly minor quibble). We needed the air conditioning to be cranked to high to keep the room from being stuffy, even though it wasn’t hot outside.

Great location. However, we were here for a 4 night family holiday (4people in a small room) and the service was below average. Our room was only ever serviced the first morning, then never cleaned again. Our rubbish was never cleared, no washing-up supplies or bowls in the kitchenette, no fresh towels. Even with numerous requests to reception for room servicing it still didn’t happen. Very disappointed!!!

Check in experience was poor. The digital screen stated the wrong room type, so we had to queue for 15+ minutes to check in with the one and only person on the desk. Other staff walked by the queue of people multiple times. The room was tired and in need of updating. It also didn’t feel clean, especially under the bed or sofa bed. I found 2 coffee cup lids (not ours) and a dust. I didn’t want to walk bare feet on the carpet. The only thing going for this hotel is the location.

Shower filthy. Mugs dirty. Grot around kitchenette sink and taps, power switches... I dont mind if a hotel is out dated as this one is, so long as it is clean but this one was far from clean. Receptionist fairly dismissive when told of conditions.

I arrived to check in at 10pm and despite having “24 hr” reception I (with my sleeping baby in pram) stood outside and pressed the buzzer. No answer. Multiple times. While standing outside I rang the reception phone number. No answer. Multiple times. I finally get into the lobby as another guest swiped in and again multiple phone calls and no answer then finally someone emerges from “the office” not acceptable service

Later decided to cancel my next day breakfast to be advised no there is a chef there to cook you eggs how you like. Sunny-side up etc. Doors locked at 9pm. I came back and got in fine but was bailed up at entry door from a lady trying to get in to check in for the night. There was a staff member sitting at desk and would have seen this interaction and lady pacing outside.

Filthy mugs and toilet on arrival. No exhaust fan in bathroom. Fridge was open switched off with a drenched towel sitting in it. Only 2 towels supplied but 4 people with our booking. No black tea bags. Very disappointed. The breakfast was ok.

Everything about this place is fantastic except for the toilets. They just didn't work very well and refused to flush anything down with less than four flushes. The reservoir refilled so slowly that it takes a Bluey episode to get all four flushes done, and floaters were near impossible for the toilets to handle.

I stay at this hotel each year when I visit family in Australia. I have been coming for years now and stay from 1 to 2 weeks at a time. I love the location right by the Yarra river in Southbank with easy access to the CBD. I love that the hotel is small. The rooms are quiet and adequate. The bathrooms also adequate. The staff are friendly and responsive. They have the best buffet breakfast which is often included in the hotel price. This year however, not only wasn’t my breakfast included, but the price of the hotel had gone up considerably. Coming from overseas, hotel price is an important factor for me. However, for now, I like the hotel well enough, that I will continue to stay there on my annual visits to Melbourne.
