We were pretty surprised that this hotel has a 4 star rating. Just walking thru corridor to room, it seemed a 3 star and once inside our room we saw a dated, tired room, a mouldy tiled shower and the tinest bathroom. The airconditioning was not good, the room cold on entry and once set to a higher temperature got...

I had read some adverse reviews of this hotel and was trepidatious about the stay. There was no reason for concern. The hotel was clean, the room was excellent (bathroom fine!), the breakfast was great and the staff friendly and helpful. The location is great for foodies and a tram stop just outside is a great bonus. Highly recommended!

Plumbing problems in bathroom had water flushing all night (wasteful and noisy!); bed uncomfortable; mini-bar not properly stocked and no price list provided. Excuse when queried, "another guest must have taken the price list" Very poor quality control as to standard of room!

We booked 3 nights in a Parkview King room and were a little worried after reading some negative feedback on Tripadvisor. On arrival we were pleasantly surprised with the comfort and quality of our room which featured a beautiful view across Lincoln Square and the Melbourne skyline. The room furnishings and amenities were 4 star but the hallways, lift and...

This hotel was a very disappointing experience. The hotel desperately needs renovating and meantime I would not recommend anyone to stay there. The first room we were booked into was not clean at all and had things lying on the carpet. The second room was cleaner, but bathroom full of mould, etc. The staff not professional, nor friendly. Location is...

Hotel itself was fine, location great. Easily accessible to Melbourne CBD, tram stop very close. We encountered mix service, some great and some extremely poor. We were woken every night by what I assume was the bar/restaurant staff emptying the empty glass bottles into an outside bin. Overall it was an average stay, they can definitely improve in a lot...

We are staying here over Easter. I was expecting a very good hotel as normally the Rydges hotels are but not. The rooms are ok not spacious. We booked two quadruple rooms since we are four adults and four children. Check in went fine but it was just us since it was 1am. The hotel needs renovation and so do...

I choose to stay at this hotel as it is basically across the road from Melb Uni - where I work 3 days each month. If it wasn't for the location I prob wouldn't stay here at all. The hotel is tired and in need of a face-lift (yes, I know they are renovating) but I have been staying here...

I was here for 3 nights, so I can comment broadly about my experience. It was my first trip to Melbourne, and I would say the location is fantastic. Close to several restaurants around the Swanston/Grattan area and also to the famous Lygon Street. Public transport (trams) just 2 mins walk from hotel, which takes you literally anywhere in downtown...
