New Year's Eve at this hotel was absolutely unforgettable. I specifically requested a city view room with unobstructed fireworks views when booking, and the team delivered perfectly—up on a high floor with panoramic views of Melbourne’s CBD. At midnight, lying in bed, I pulled back the floor-to-ceiling curtains and watched the entire skyline light up in a dazzling display of fireworks. The reflections on the river below made it feel like a dream. Best part? We didn’t have to brave the crowds outside—everything was right there from our window. The room itself was spacious, modern, and well-equipped, with thoughtful touches like a small bottle of champagne handed out by front desk staff to celebrate the new year. Location is fantastic too—walking to Southbank and the city center is super easy. For anyone looking for a quiet, romantic way to ring in the New Year without the chaos, this is the perfect choice. Book a high-floor city view room if you can—it’s worth every penny. Thank you to the entire team for making our 2026 start so magical! A solid five stars.

This place is absolutely perfect for exploring Melbourne on foot. I could walk to the State Library of Victoria, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, and Southbank Arts Centre without breaking a sweat—super convenient. The area around the hotel is packed with great dining options: Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Thai—you name it, they’ve got it. From the moment you step into the lobby, you’re greeted by a sleek, elegant space that looks more like a boutique shopping centre than a hotel. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful throughout every stage—check-in, borrowing an umbrella, check-out—everything was smooth and warm. Even though my English isn’t great, communication was never an issue. I’d seen a few negative reviews before booking and worried about being treated differently as an Asian guest, but honestly, the experience couldn’t have been better. It’s just not fair to expect someone to speak your language just because of how they look. The room itself was spacious and beautifully designed, with a stunning view from the window—the sunset in photo 5 was absolutely breathtaking. Overall, my four-day stay was relaxing, comfortable, and truly enjoyable. A top-tier choice if you want convenience, quality, and genuine hospitality.

It’s super convenient for exploring Melbourne. The only minor issue was with the air conditioning in my first room—it wasn’t working as smoothly as it could have been, but overall, this didn’t take away from the great experience. Clean, modern, and well-designed spaces, plus a friendly vibe throughout. Definitely a top choice if you’re looking for a comfortable, social stay in Melbourne.
