"This was by far the best hotel during our Australia trip. First, it was incredibly affordable, offering genuine value for money. Second, the room was spacious; we could easily open two 28-inch suitcases in the luggage area, giving the kids plenty of room to play. Third, the environment and location were fantastic. The breakfast restaurant and corridor facing the Yarra River offered a distant view of Flinders Street, allowing the kids, on their first visit to Melbourne, to instantly grasp the city's unique charm. Right downstairs, you're on the riverside square with pigeons, musicians, and artists – the children immediately understood Melbourne's artistic vibe. Personally, I found it much better than the Westin in the CBD and the Langham in Southbank where I've stayed for business trips. The hotel is connected to a shopping mall, making dining incredibly convenient. There's an exit downstairs that leads directly to the river, surrounded by a cluster of charming restaurants with river views. We enjoyed dinner at various places; my parents loved the Thai restaurant, and the kids were all about the steak. The hotel breakfast was more than adequate, and the head chef, who is Asian, was lovely to chat with. There were plenty of Asian options like congee and noodles, along with convenient chopsticks, and the kids' favorite, ice cream and a chocolate fountain. The breakfast service was excellent; both local staff and Chinese international students made us feel very comfortable. After learning from a student that you can work in Australia from age 14, my child has been dreaming of coming back in a few years to work and help alleviate the burden on me and their dad... Perhaps because we visited just before Chinese New Year, the massive crowds hadn't arrived yet, but this Crowne hotel genuinely made our stay so pleasant. And the festive 'Yarra River Fire' show was a delightful surprise that my parents and children absolutely loved."
