Guest Ratings & Reviews
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was great, tucked away in a laneway providing a peaceful environment yet close to the vibrant shopping precincts and dining spots in Melbourne CBD. However, the rooms were not ready upon check-in time, had a leaking bathroom, and were overly congested. The service was friendly and welcoming, but some amenities were not fully available. Dining was enjoyable with a great selection, but slightly pricey. Overall, it was a decent stay with a few drawbacks.
My stay was a mixed bag - the rooms were more spacious and clean than expected, but a bit lacking in amenities like a pod coffee machine. The service was exceptionally kind and accommodating, making up for any shortcomings. The location was central, although not exactly where I anticipated. The dining experience was mostly good, with only a few hiccups. Overall, a comfortable stay with a modern feel and friendly staff.
The hotel offers comfortable rooms with breakfast included, although the layout may not be practical for simultaneous use. The service can be inconsistent in terms of information provided. The location is convenient for exploring Melbourne but has minor issues with amenities. Dining options exceed expectations with a few drawbacks. Overall, it offers good value for money.
My stay at the hotel was a great experience overall. The room provided a quiet, well-furnished space with a great bed, view, and extra seating for a couple. The service was superb, with very friendly and helpful staff. The location was brilliant, close to excellent restaurants in Melbourne. The dining experience was on par with more expensive places I've stayed. However, the advertised dining hours were not accurate. Overall, it was a fantastic stay with minor inconveniences.
The hotel was clean and luxurious with newly appointed furnishings, offering a proper king bed. However, the room was rather small compared to other Novotel hotels I have stayed at.
The hotel exceeded my expectations with its modern, tech-savvy rooms and fantastic location.
