A lovely old dame of Melbourne! Rooms are dated but charming and quite large. I appreciated the full bathtub. The area has numerous restaurants and the tram and train for getting around. There are several beautiful gardens directly across the street.

Great if you were staying in 1955

Great location and obviously was a great hotel once. But now very dated and has not come into the 21st century. For example, the internet is terrible, drops out, slow and that was just for emails and newspapers. Would not be able to work online there.

Properly living on its historic values but making no attempt to grow value. Rooms pretty basic. Shower in small bath. Bed not all that comfortable, and starchy sheets that scratch the skin. Staff just pleasant, but not enthusiastic. Valet parking is problematic when they don’t reserve a spot for guests to pull up out side the hotel (places consumed by taxis and cars belonging to weddings). Not happy, wouldn’t stay here again.

This is an elegant old hotel that has hosted many famous people. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. The staff was gracious and helpful. There is a bar on site visited by locals after work and it has good food at reasonable prices. We enjoyed the bottle of wine offered with our booking.

On checkin we were advised our booking had been cancelled. Manager stated it had nothing to do with the hotel. I contacted Expedia whom we had used to booked the hotel. It took 50mins of speaking with Expedia and Expedia talking to the hotel manager, for the hotel manager to apologise for ‘their error’. We were upgraded to a suite as the Superior room we had booked was no longer available.
