Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers stunning views of the city and ocean from our comfy rooms on the South Wharf. The rooms were clean and comfy, and the front office staff and concierge were exceptionally welcoming and friendly. However, the food area could have been more spacious and had more variety. The location was superb, close to DFO stores, the Casino Precinct, and plenty of dining options. Overall, a great stay with some minor dining drawbacks.
The hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were a bit ordinary and weren't made up as requested, but I enjoyed the fresh bleach scent. However, the hot overnight temperatures were uncomfortable.
The hotel is ideally located near the Convention Centre and DFO, making it convenient for those needing access to these areas. The service is excellent, with staff going above and beyond to rectify any issues promptly. While the rooms lack a proper workspace for business travelers and couples, they are well-equipped with useful amenities like a small fridge and tea/coffee making facilities. The dining area, though nice, could improve on food variety throughout the day. Overall, a great location with top-notch service, but minor room and dining limitations.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel with some highlights and a few drawbacks. The rooms were equipped with a nice desk, and the fast Wi-Fi was a plus, although I missed out on the requested river view and found the room too hot at times.
Staying on the 25th floor provided incredible views, but the rooms felt a bit dry. The service, although friendly and helpful, took longer than expected. The location was top-notch, near the city center with a few minor downsides. The dining experience was satisfactory but lacked variety. Facilities met expectations but could improve in some areas.
The hotel had comfortable rooms with new furnishings and a great view, but they were slightly small for 2 adults and 2 kids. It was inconvenient not having the car park attached, especially with children and luggage. Despite that, the overnight stay was pleasant with clean and well-presented facilities.
My stay at the hotel was truly enjoyable. The rooms were nice, spacious, modern, and clean, although housekeeping missed our room both days despite informing them early. The service was outstanding, with the friendliest staff providing excellent support throughout our stay. The location was perfect - close to shopping, dining, entertainment, and even concert venues. The dining experience, while offering a good variety of food, could have been warmer. Overall, a great place to stay with some minor room for improvement.

The service was exceptional, with friendly and helpful staff offering diverse amenities. The location is excellent, close to shopping, dining, and entertainment options, including easy access to key attractions. The dining experience offered a decent range of options, but with some room for improvement. Overall, a comfortable stay with great service and an unbeatable location.
My stay was quite enjoyable overall. The room was a decent size, offering great value with comfy beds and a nice hot shower, which is all you really need for a one-night stay. Unfortunately, the Chrome Cast facilities were not working during my visit, which was a bit disappointing.
The hotel offers a mix of positives like incredible views and a great location near the convention center, with small drawbacks such as some dining inconsistencies. The friendly service stood out, making the stay pleasant overall.
The hotel offers modern and clean facilities, although the view overlooks the motorway and shops. The service was exceptional, with friendly and well-trained staff. The location is convenient for exploring Melbourne, though there were some issues with check-in. The dining experience had a good variety of food but was disorganized at times.
The hotel was just perfect, with very comfy beds and an amazing view. Its location is close to everything, making it big enough for a great stay. However, I did request new towels during my visit.
What a gem of a hotel! The rooms may be a bit on the small side, but they are cozy and have everything I needed. The service was top-notch, the staff went above and beyond to make my stay special. The location was perfect for my needs, with easy access to great restaurants and the convention center. Dining was a hit or miss, but the facilities were excellent.
