The Ritz-Carlton, Melbourne

The Ritz-Carlton, Melbourne

CBD Docklands|0.4km from Southern Cross Station
After many years of delayed construction we stayed at the Ritz Carlton this past Sunday night. I grabbed a rate of $491 through the Marriott website which is comparable or a bit cheaper than other 5* hotels at the other end of town. The hotel is situated at the western end of the city near the main railway station which isn't the best location in Melb for a luxury hotel. However when pulling into the entrance to have the car valet parked ($75) it's another world. The guys at the entrance were friendly and very helpful. We were escorted to the lifts and whisked up to Level 80 for check in. We were given lots of information about the hotel and facilities and the man checking us in was pleasant and tole us that we were as close to the top on Level 77. The room is spacious with a separate toilet, luggage compartment and big bathroom with bath and a large desk. The views were incredible looking across the city to the east and the bay. Unfortunately our room was a couple of levels above the neighbouring tall building so I could hear the air con all night. As typical of luxury hotels the bed had too soft pillows for my liking and we should've asked for firmer pillows, I don't know why hotels continue to provide such soft pillows. I went to Level 64 for a swim in the shallow pool which was great with incredible views. We met friends and family for drinks in the lounge where the service was prompt and friendly but the drinks are very expensive which is to be expected of a luxury hotel. On the Sunday night near midnight there was a 3.8 richter earthquake in Melbourne but I didn't feel it but my wife said the building moved slightly and I did notice the clock had moved slightly. Breakfast on the long table is fantastic and we thought the breakfast was reasonably priced a la carte only with good selection available. I would stay here again given the right rate but keep in mind the hotel is a tram ride into the shopping and most of the restaurants are up the other end of the city.

Holiday Inn Express Melbourne Little Collins, an IHG Hotel

CBD Docklands|0.25km from Southern Cross Station
Would I recommend Holiday Inn little Collins...yes I would...but there were a few negatives to our stay Location is excellent close to Sth Cross Station and the free tram network. Breakfast included is a bonus and the selection was great. Hot sausage, hash browns, scrambled eggs, toast, cereals, pastries and mini muffins as well as the milk, orange juice, tea and coffee (with barista made at a cost by the reception/bar located in the same area. Staff were welcoming, helpful and pleasant. On the negative side I must add that during our 4 night stay housekeeping came the first morning. After that nothing so our wet towels sat waiting for collection. When calling for clean towels I was directed to collect them from reception. The next day we encountered the same issue...after leaving the room most of the day we returned again to find housekeeping hadn't been. This time when I called reception they organized to send a crew up pretty quickly. I expect the main reason behind this was they were fully booked with Manchester united fans in for the weekends game but as a mum the occasional opportunity to actually have someone tidy and replace towels is a novelty that I take full advantage of so was disappointed in this part of our stay. Beds and linen were clean but again housekeeping let us down with the floors...carpet had definitely not been cleaned in a while ...our socks picked up various dark long hair and bark/dirt..gross. One last issue was the invoice received for our stay..all good and as expected however $50.75 more was actually taken out of my visa. Having to make another phone call to have this explained was ridiculous. It's a bond...totally understand and it's refundable after the room is checked BUT why not add a small note to the invoice explaining this and save the guest and your team time explaining the extra charge?? Overall it was a decent stay and I would recommend but the issues above need to be ironed out quickly.

Melbourne Holiday Apartments Flinders Wharf

CBD Docklands|0.5km from Southern Cross Station
Stayed in apartment 1211. It had 2 double bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, 1 was ensuite. Noticed there was also a foldaway bed in a wardrobe. Apartment was spacious and clean, had everything we could think of: hairdryer, washing machine, tumble dryer, vacuum, a few spare towels, dishwasher, microwave, oven, kettle, detergents, pots, pans, cutlery, etc, coffee maker, iron and board. Plenty of storage, huge sofa area, family sized dining. The biggest terrace I've ever seen, with interrupted views of the Yarra and Port Philip Bay in the distance, plus city skyline. I could not fault this apartment and it was directly opposite the convention and exhibition centre ( just leave via the river side exit and walk over the footbridge over the Yarra, right next to the apartment complex.) There were several dining options by the exhibition centre plus a DFO shopping centre . The main entrance to the apartment building is on Siddeley Street and looks like a back/service road to carparks. The office reception is on the Siddeley Street side, next to a mini mart, which sold basics, although you wouldn't necessarily be able to supply all your food needs from it, but it was ok for milk, snacks and toothpaste. The complex had an indoor pool, which looked clean and a decent size(we didn't use it). The whole place was spotless and I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again. The 35, 70 and 75 (I think) trams are one road over from Siddeley Street, the 35 is the circle that goes around the city centre. The apartment block is in the free tram zone.

Hôtel réception team were very warm and friendly . The room was a little small and musty but overall it was a good stay. Location was right by the train station and tram spots but for me, prefer to stay slightly closer to the main shopping precinct .
Movenpick Hotel Melbourne on Spencer

Wow this has now become my favourite place to stay when visiting Melbourne. Location is fantastic- I walked straight from the country train at Southern Cross across the road to the hotel. It also has the Bourke St tram right out the front of the side entrance, easy access into the Mall and shops. Short walk to Collins St tram so easy for the Theatre. And right across the road to the Spencer St Outlet with shops and food. My husband walked to the football at Marvel Stadium, so was happy with that. The staff (not matter where they worked) were all very friendly and helpful, so well done to the recruitment team on picking the right staff. The rooms (we stayed room 619) were clean and very comfortable. Shower fantastic. We loved the lobby area and the chocolate hour. The pool looked lovely and will use it next time. I really could not find a fault with this hotel and I have stayed in many, after a long career in Aviation. This will definitely be the hotel we stay when we come to Melbourne.

Stayed one night to watch a football game at AAMI Park. We booked the Guest Triple room and requested 3 single beds. Very good for our short stay! Great location and short walk from the main train station or you can catch the tram which is 1 stop and go down the stairs or lift! Definitely stay here again.

The view on the 45th floor was spectacular. The amenities provided were good. Bed was comfortable. Could smell cigarette smoke from neighbouring property and the carpet was dirty. Location is great, close to Southern Cross Station and shops. Yummy “Daniel’s Donuts” nearby!
