Scenic Hotels in Melbourne

"The hotel is in good location, my room happens to face another building so there is no view. I booked on 27 July to 1 st August then continue to 1st to 8th August 2026. I told the receptionist on 31st July shall my current room is empty, we prefer not to move, even though we paid for higher room category on the 1st aug, because we donot to move back and forth with so many luggages which is wasting time and energy, but the hotel staff replied my room will be occupied as hotel is full on 1st aug. This morning 1st aug we packed up so many luggages and belongings as in the photo on the way to new room, the staff kindly asked us, notifying shall we are going back to our original queen bed apartment tomorrow It’s better we do not move. Thus, She looked up in her data and finally we could use the same room today. It was such unpleasant and tiring to pack up then unpack to go back forth to the same room in half day, how could these be happening? And we also lost our white towel that we hanged so hotel doesn’t have to laundry as per notes. It’s unfortunate the staff yesterday did not thoroughly help us."

"i love the service and exclusivity. love how accessible to adult arcade. walk in area was amazing. i requested for late check out, but it was decline ): apart from that, really love the stay. fully recharged. about 20 mins walk to DFO. if you are driving, remember to play in adult arcade to deduct the parking fees! first time encounter room services is chargable!!"

"Overall a good location as there are 2 tram stops just a quick 3 to 5 mins walk away from the apartment. There is a minimart and 7-11 just downstairs, convenient for picking up necessities. The apartment was quite big and had very useful amenities like a washer, dryer and fully equipped kitchen, including a dishwasher and big fridge. Unfortunately, the air-conditioner wasn't the best for me as it was a standing type located near the window in the living room. Despite adjusting to the lowest temperature and highest fan speed, the bedroom was still quite warm. Body wash, shampoo, hair conditioner and towels were provided but not toothbrush, comb or bottled water. There was a kettle provided but I would prefer having bottled water provided daily. I was also surprised that housekeeping was not provided for my 5-nights stay. Fresh towels can be requested by hanging a sign on the door before 8 am. Generally a good stay but do note that the reception counter is not open 24 hours, so if you arrive outside these timings, separate arrangements should probably be pre-arranged."

"I booked a king-sized room, and both the space and the bed were quite large. Honestly, a standard-sized room probably would have been enough. The hotel has been recently renovated, so it still looks pretty new. The location is listed as Chinatown, but the nearest tram stops are about a 6-minute walk away. Thankfully, Melbourne's city center is quite compact. The room temperature can be adjusted freely. I'm not sure if there were disposable slippers – I've forgotten. We had two people staying, but they only provided one set of toothbrushes and amenities daily, so I was glad I'd brought my own. There's a small fridge with a complimentary carton of milk inside, but it didn't come with a straw. Things that brought down the score: One night, around 9 PM, the fire alarm went off. Everyone rushed downstairs, only to be told it was a false alarm. As we were halfway back up, it started ringing again, another false alarm. And then there's the noise. The king rooms face the street, and the noise mainly came from modified cars driven by 'ghost riders' all night, and then various emergency vehicles starting from 6 or 7 AM. If you've ever been to Thailand, the constant roar of motorcycles on the street is exactly what it was like. I even took two videos so you could get a feel for it, and those weren't even the loudest moments, just the mildest sounds. It felt like I was sleeping on the street. I don't think the hotel needs renovation; what it really needs is soundproof windows, otherwise, it's not suitable for a comfortable stay."

"- Highly recommended - Location is very good. Near tram station, Swanston st. (where all the restaurants are here), QV mall (BigW, Woolworth), Melbourne central (Coles), Emporium (Rebel), state library - Staffs are very friendly and helpful. They responded well to my requests. - Bathroom size is very good. - Bedroom size is a bit small, but enough for 1 person to stay (queen size room) - The room is a bit dark, but the window helps when I need to work on my laptop. - I stayed here for 6 nights and I already booked this hotel for my next trip to Melbourne."

"The room was quite spacious, and the location is very central. There's a famous comic book store across the street that sells American comics. The room didn't have amenities like slippers or toothbrushes, which you had to request from the front desk. Sometimes, there were staff at the front desk who spoke Chinese. Overall, it was very good, and I recommend it."

"The service was great and the location is very convenient. Facilities: The facilities are pretty good, especially the pool with its amazing view. Cleanliness: The hygiene is very clean. Environment: The environment is excellent, really nice. Service: The staff are warm and welcoming, providing excellent service."

"Overall, not a bad hotel. The location is very convenient; all major city attractions are within walking distance. Everything is clean, the reception/foyer areas are pleasant, and there's a cozy lounge in front of the cafe entrance where you can read a book or just pass the time if housekeeping is cleaning your room. The housekeepers are Chinese women, and there were no complaints about the cleaning. It was nice that they changed the bed linen every 2-3 days without us having to ask. The room is certainly very small, but it's perfectly fine for one person, especially if you're there for sightseeing rather than spending time in the room. The miniature window overlooks a wall with AC units and oddly only opened to a 15-centimeter gap at the bottom. Holes in the window screen (mine had a torn screen on this small window) would be a problem in the summer, but no bugs will fly in during a winter month. The room renovation is relatively recent. There's a nice backlight above the headboard. The duvet covers are the same as in Africa, by the way – two regular sheets on either side of the duvet. In the shower, it's inconvenient that there's no handheld showerhead, only an overhead rain shower. There are no toothbrushes with paste or hair conditioner, so keep that in mind. What is provided: shower gel, hairdryer, ironing board with iron, wall-mounted air conditioner, TV, refrigerator, kettle, and everything works perfectly. Bottled water isn't provided because there's no point: the water in Australia is very clean, and everyone drinks tap water. Regarding breakfast: in the 16 days I spent at this hotel, the menu never changed. What you see in my photos here is what was in the cafe every day, the same items in the same spots. The staff is very friendly and always ready to help."

"This is an incredibly hip Hyatt-affiliated boutique hotel located in Fitzroy. It blends in perfectly with the local vibe and offers a different feel from Andaz, another Hyatt boutique brand. While check-in is a bit late at 3 PM compared to other hotels, the 12 PM check-out time was actually a plus. The room wasn't huge, but it was fine for one person. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and I slept like a baby. All the furniture, decor, and amenities were excellent, and the common areas like the lobby, cafe, and rooftop bar were all stylish and impressive spaces. There's no gym in the hotel itself, but they have a partnership with Snap Fitness in Fitzroy's city center, which was actually better as it had more equipment."

"Hotel was close to several train and tram stations, making it easy to access a variety of routes and lines. There were also plenty of great food and drink options nearby — from morning coffee and afternoon matcha to flaky pastries and comforting hot meals. While some places were not immediately next door, they were still comfortably walkable, including Little Rogue, Matcha Kobo, Puzzle Coffee, Time After Time, Lulu’s Malaysian Hawker, and many more. Also worth mentioning, I arrived in Melbourne earlier than expected and called the hotel to ask when the room would be ready. The staff were punctual and reliable, as I was able to check in exactly at the time they advised the room would be available."
