Scenic Hotels in Melbourne

"The first 3 times, everything was great. This time, on my 4th stay, everything had changed. On the first night of check-in, the room wasn't prepared as requested (I asked for 2 beds) and wasn't arranged. I had to sleep and then they arranged the 2 beds the next day. I requested a room on the 8th floor or higher, or the 5th floor, but was given a premium room on the 3rd floor. They informed me that currently, all 2-bed rooms are only available from the 3rd floor downwards (I used to stay in 2-bed rooms on the fourth floor and above). The car horns were very loud. The bathroom fan wasn't working. The room floor wasn't vacuumed. The bedside table, telephone, and lamp were all dusty, even though I had informed them that I am allergic to dust and asked for it to be cleaned before check-in. My throat started itching as soon as I entered. Honestly, if they had cleaned the dust before I checked in as requested, the room would have been fine. Now there's no complimentary water in the room (guests have to buy a hotel bottle and fill it themselves at the water dispenser). There weren't enough towels for two people in the bathroom. I called to request them, and the staff gave me a free water bottle because I refused to buy one. The bottle quality was poor, the water still leaked even with the cap closed, so I couldn't take it with me outside. I checked out on 7/7 and checked in again for 7-15/7 since I had already booked, staying in the same room. I reported the issues, but they were indifferent, so I told the housekeeper myself to vacuum the room, and she did. The good part is: in summary, for a room costing over 4,000 baht a night, guests have to buy a bottle to fill water themselves (other guests, I got a free bottle because I refused to buy. If it was a Starbucks bottle, it might have been interesting). *If the room price is this high, and the premium room is considered the largest, then the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd floors are noisy and shouldn't be offered. It's a waste of money if you can't get a full night's rest, especially on Friday-Sunday weekends when there are many tourists, car horns, and revving engines are very loud (3-6/7 I slept on and off). *The good parts are: the breakfast the hotel provides is plentiful and constantly refilled, it's close to Paramount, only a 10-minute walk for dinner, and the hotel front isn't crowded, making convenient for pick-up and drop-off. I recommend that guests staying on weekends request high floors."

"Location: easy 3-6 min walk to Southern Cross station and the skybus station which made reaching the hotel from melbourne airport extremely convenient (~40 mins). It's close to many cozy and prolific cafés for breakfast/brunch, lunch. Ease of access to gift shops, electronics, and post boxes as well. Amenities: Gym is available. Laundry with washers and dryers are also available but prepare coins. Security: Staffed during the day, and the automatic doors in the main hotel entrance could only be opened with keycards at night. Good safety. Service: Hospitable staff. Had issues with my room and they were happy to assist. Room: I booked the single room. Quaint and tiny. Room's very dark and quiet at night. Great sleep. Bathroom is equipped with heat lamps and exhaust fans which made super comfortable for a winter stay. Didn't use the AC much but I tried it out just to see that it worked. Runs well even though it's a bit noisy if you're sleeping. Towels and sheets mostly clean. I noticed some stains on the bedding once but otherwise good."

"This hotel is perfectly located if arriving into Melbourne on the train from Sydney. The hotel let me check in early at no extra charge. I found the staff to be cheerful, pleasant and very helpful. The room was spacious and very clean. The coffee and tea facilities were in the room but hidden in the cupboard next to the fridge and the drinking glasses were stored in the fridge! (Never seen that done before). The swimming pool was a nice added bonus and breakfast, although very basic, was adequate. [I only stayed one night, any longer that breakfast would certainly be classed as extremely boring!😜]. I did enjoy my stay and for one or two nights would definitely stay there again."

"The apartment is in a great location, close to the Airbus station, with plenty of good restaurants nearby that stay open late. The only downside is that it's close to the railway, so it can be a bit noisy at times. We also found a bandage on one of the quilts when we arrived, which did not belong to us. It would be appreciated if the cleanliness and inspection of the bedding could be improved."

"We booked a triple room, but it turned out to be a quad room with two large double beds (each made from two single beds combined). Overall, there was plenty of space, enough for us to lay out three suitcases. The room also had two desks, one large and one small. The larger one was perfect for me to work on my laptop. The bathroom was spacious too, and it came with a bathtub. Aside from that, there were a few minor drawbacks: 1. The handle on the shower faucet kept falling off, which was quite odd. 2. The temperature control wasn't ideal either. However, the best part was that the room was equipped with a microwave, and the fridge even came with a full set of tableware and wine glasses. The location is fantastic, directly across from Southern Cross Station. It's incredibly convenient for getting to the casino, outlets, or catching trams and the airport shuttle bus."

"The value of a prime location, the price of an outer-lying area! I would still choose Milan Hotel next time. Aldi supermarket is right next door, so we enjoyed beef and lamb steaks, and red and white wine every day. It's close to transport and attractions, with even the furthest places only a 30-minute walk away. If you don't want to walk, city buses are free and transfers are very convenient."

"This hotel was an absolutely wonderful place to stay during our trip. The location is incredibly convenient for getting around the city. It is situated just a short walk away from the nearest tram station. From the moment we walked in, the overall cleanliness was truly impressive. Our room was completely spotless and meticulously maintained every single day. Furthermore, the hotel staff provided excellent service from check-in to check-out. Every employee we interacted with was genuinely welcoming, polite, and eager to help. We also greatly appreciated the ability to leave our luggage safely at the reception. This convenient luggage storage gave us the freedom to explore without carrying heavy bags on our last day. Finally, the beautiful view from our window made the entire experience absolutely perfect."
