When we booked our room in advance I asked for a room with a view as it was my partners birthday. I was guaranteed a room with a view. Upon arrival and post checking in we entered our room. The curtains were opened and disappointingly our view was a grey cemented wall, extremely disappointed with this. Breakfast was amazing and the bed was extremely comfortable.

Lovely short stay at Crowne Plaza Melbourne for my partner and I over the NewYears Eve/ Day celebrations. We experienced ample friendly and helpful staff during our stay, which was a pleasant surprise, as most places are running understaffed. Excellent and efficient check in and out process. Lovely breakfast with good variety of food. Again plenty of staff to assist and clear tables. Location was great, convenient to NYE celebrations along the river and Melbourne CBD for shopping. Thanks for the great stay Crowne Plaza. See you again next year.

Our overall stay at the hotel was very enjoyable, with comfortable rooms and excellent service from the reception and concierge teams, who were consistently friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, two issues prevented the experience from being perfect. Firstly, despite pre-booking valet parking for a specific time to attend a wedding, we had to wait 20 minutes for our car to be returned. This caused us to arrive late and enter alongside the bride, which was quite embarrassing. Secondly, at breakfast several items in the bain-marie were only lukewarm or cold, which was disappointing given the otherwise high standard. With better coordination—particularly around valet service and breakfast food temperature—this would have been an outstanding stay. We hope these points can be addressed, as we would happily return if these small but impactful issues are resolved.
