5-Star Hotels in Victoria, Australia

We stayed there one night as we have booked the hot air balloon flight. Thus, didnt have much opportunity to use any facility except the restaurant. We had dinner there and food and wine were great. However, we noticed that some staff werent paying much attention to asian guests. While serving the food up to western guest, the staff was introducing the food in details but not to us. Furthermore, it took a long while to get our desserts.

location is perfect, right infront of the free tram zone, the room was clean. sadly when we arrived early in morning, there's no one in the receptionist desk and have to wait until someone out from the building so we can entered the building. and cannot ask for early checkin. otherwise the hotel is perfect. nice stay anyway.

The hotel is a bit old, but its location is a big plus – super convenient for shopping! The bed was comfy and soft, and the in-room facilities were well-equipped. No one offered to help with luggage, and the hotel has two entrances, but the staff didn't tell me which one was easier for catching a ride. When I came back by taxi, they didn't open the door for me, but when my friends dropped me off, they were very enthusiastic, opened the car door, and greeted us!

The location is decent, with plenty of restaurants nearby. However, the hygiene is a major concern. There was hair in several spots, and used disposable items like shower caps weren't replenished. When we switched rooms, the front desk told us the new room was ready and they'd move our luggage for us. But when we returned in the evening, our luggage was nowhere to be found. We eventually tracked it down ourselves in the luggage storage area.

The hotel is really clean well looked after, staff are really nice. Only issue is they do not have tooth brushes ( make sure you bring your own.) location is good but you have to walk a bit to reach the city center ( ****** is so Colse by ) about the breakfast is consider light breakfast if you are into a best Breakfast not really worth it . Overall is very good. I can recommend for second stay.

The hotel staff were welcoming and ready to help. The hotel ammenities and location itself were perfect, from the pool there was a magnificent view of the sunset overlooking the city buildings. The charging ports in the room were practically placed, the beds were comfy, and the bathroom was modernly designed and spacious. The overall atmosphere of the hotel was calm, inviting, clean and modern, making its shared spaces comfortable to relax. Its convenient location allowed access to ”The District” on Docklands with a range of restaurants and shops alongside public transport. We really enjoyed our stay and definitely would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable, modern and enjoyable stay in Melbourne.

For my 21-day trip to Australia, I stayed in 11 hotels across Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide. Here's my ranking of the best to worst experiences (with value for money considered): 1. Capella Sydney (low value for money) 2. Park Hyatt Melbourne (high value for money) 3. InterContinental Melbourne The Rialto (medium value for money) 4. Crown Towers Melbourne (high value for money) 5. Le Méridien Melbourne (medium value for money) 6. Hilton Adelaide (medium value for money) 7. The Langham Melbourne (low value for money) 8. Citadines on Bourke Melbourne (best value for money) 9. Meriton Suites Waterloo, Sydney (high value for money) 10. Best Western Plus Travel Inn Hotel Melbourne (low value for money) 11. The Hotel Windsor Melbourne (worst value for money) Now, let's talk about the InterContinental Melbourne The Rialto. Like The Windsor, it's a heritage hotel, and its beauty is undeniable. It truly looks like a 19th-century Neo-Gothic Venetian castle! Located in the heart of Collins Street, it's one of InterContinental's most luxurious heritage hotels worldwide. When you stay here, you can't help but spend time exploring, as both the exterior and interior decor are magnificent, and the room facilities are top-notch. It's definitely worth a stay.

I stayed here for three nights in Melbourne. There's a tram stop right outside (though it was closed for roadworks, sadly). It's also super close to the SkyBus drop-off point from the airport to the city, only a six or seven-minute walk, so it was really convenient – I just bought a round-trip ticket. There are also lots of familiar eateries nearby, like Pepper Lunch (so good, why did it close in Beijing?!) and Gong Cha (so happy to find Gong Cha overseas!). The room was quite spacious, and the view was nice too. The bathtub was a bit long for me, and there's a separate walk-in closet with a vanity table.

The hotel is quite large with many rooms. Its location is good, about a 5-minute walk to the tram's free zone, and there's a convenience store right opposite, which is very handy. Standard check-in is at 3 PM, but you can pay for early check-in.

The location is excellent, within walking distance to the Royal Arcade, State Library, Flinders Street Station, and the Royal Botanic Gardens. Plus, tours pick up just 500 meters from the hotel, which is super convenient. The Hilton's interior is exquisite. We got a great deal during the off-peak season, though the price was a bit higher during our stay due to Melbourne's carnival and racing events. Some toiletries aren't provided, but you can always ask the front desk. Daily housekeeping was spotless.
