A grand old building with a real feeling of history. Charming staff. Particularly the Irishman who greeted me warmly, and left a card and chocolates in the room. Added to the rich ambience.

Great value for money. The spacious suite had everything I needed and was well-maintained. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the Convention Centre and South Wharf. All staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. Had one relaxing evening in the hot tub in the pool area. Highly recommended and will definitely choose again.

The desk staff offering use of toilets and library later in the day after we checked out was a very nice gesture. Although we didn't require it I can see other guests appreciating it if they had waits for trains, flights etc and time to kill.

Nice old building. The customer service was fantastic. Some of the furniture in my room was a bit old but that did not bother me. The most important thing for me was that everything was nice and clean. When I go to a hotel I take anti bacterial wipes and spray with me. Everything was good and the only thing I hit with the wipes was the tv remote. Trust me never touch a tv remote in a hotel room without sanitizing it first. They are filthy things.

Grand Disappointment
I hadn’t stayed for many years (15+) so I was excited to be staying in what was a great hotel. But sadly since my last stay nothing has been maintained. Bathroom had hair on the floor beard shaving in the sink and around the tap, the tiles were badly broken, the shower head didn’t stay up. I can only assume the white crusty dribbles down the bathroom door were from a fun night had by previous occupants The towels were thin as could be while still resembling an towel and useless to use after a shower. The curtains had burn marks and holes and overall very dirty. The overall feel of the room was sad. In realestate terms it was a renovators delight.

A Visit to Melbourne
This Gran Dame has seen better days. It is great for long term staying, but lacks the amenities we associate with a modern hotel chain. That being said, you could not be in a better location for access to multiple tram lines. The inhouse restraunt is a very good Indian restaurant. But there are ample choices within a couple of minutes walk.

10 stars for customer service. Every single staff member we interacted with during our stay were amazing. So helpful and polite. The property is located very conveniently to shopping, public transport, and restaurants. Felt very safe walking to the hotel at night (after attending a concert nearby). Will definitely be staying again.

Beautiful old building, spacious rooms with high ceilings and stunning long internal hallways. Great value and easy to move around the city from here with free trams in the city block. Very little city noise which was surprising. All staff were lovely, check-in was fast and checkout easy too. I'd recommend this to anyone
