The Victoria Hotel Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel, close to transport, shops, restaurants and theatres. Our room was clean & comfortable. I was concerned it would be noisy as it was opposite the lifts but it was mostly quiet. Staff in the hotel & adjoining restaurant were friendly & happy to help in any way. We definitely recommend The Victoria & will stay there again."
