Top Melbourne Waterfront Hotel Reviews

ibis Melbourne Hotel and Apartments

8/10 Good

"Excellent position for the Melbourne Uni, baths, and vic market. On the edge of the free tram zone."

Meriton Suites Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"US travelers, Meriton Suites Melbourne far exceeded my expectations. As a lifetime platform elite member of Marriott, Meriton suite provides superb rooms with full kitchen and laundry units at 1/2 the price of a good Marriott hotel room. It is an apartment hotel, so room cleaning is every 4 th day."

Holiday Inn Express Melbourne Little Collins by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"It was hard to find in the beginning because the signage was not clearly visible. It was also weird that you need to go up to 2nd level for the reception. Staff were a bit disappointing because they are not as responsive but I guess, they are just doing their job. The room was clean, equipped though a bit small. The food could be better with more selections but for the price, it’s ok. Will I recommend? Definitely. My friend recommended the place to me so I will. A plus, it was close to a Filipino restaurant where we dined some much needed comfort food! Much Mahalo!"

Hannah St Hotel Melbourne

8/10 Good

"A hidden gem tucked away in an unexpected corner of South Melbourne. From the moment you enter the lobby, you’re transported into an elegant, thoughtfully designed retreat from the bustle of the city. Our room was spacious and beautifully considered, with luxurious amenities that made the stay feel special. We particularly looked forward to the pool, sauna and steam room, but sadly these spaces didn’t reflect the care evident elsewhere. The sauna floor was covered in hair, the steam room had an unpleasant smell, and no towels were available, despite it being Saturday. Breakfast was equally mixed. The café is charming and full of character, yet the service felt oddly flat, almost hollow. Despite ample staff, communication was disjointed. The mechanics of service were there, but not the warmth, attentiveness or ease one expects at this calibre. We were initially told only one breakfast was included in our booking. This proved incorrect, but took 20 minutes to resolve, with little grace or effort to put us at ease. Despite these shortcomings, we genuinely enjoyed our stay. Hannah Street Hotel is beautifully conceived, with an intimacy and sense of place that set it apart. What it lacks is the human warmth to match: a genuine welcome, instinctive attentiveness and that quiet generosity of spirit that makes guests feel truly cared for. The interiors promise something exceptional; I hope, in time, the hospitality will fulfil that promise."

W Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"The property was absolutely amazing... front desk staff was extremely polite and helpful. The rooms are not equipped with microwaves and I needed something warmed around midnight and they actually brought a microwave up to my room in the middle of the night. The hospitality was superb. The rooms were spotless. The bed was comfortable and the hotel is in close proximity to several shops and eateries. I definitely look forward to returning to this property again in the future!!!!"
