Staying at CLLIX Australia 108 Apartments was an absolute highlight of my trip to Melbourne. Check-in is done at the nearby office, which is a small extra step but very well organized and professional. The apartment itself is incredibly well-equipped—full kitchen, washer and dryer included, perfect for guests who want to cook and save on dining out. Being on a high floor, the views are breathtaking: endless city skyline panoramas, especially stunning at sunset. The space feels luxurious, clean, and thoughtfully designed. If you're looking for comfort, convenience, and a more private, home-like stay with top-tier amenities, this is definitely a standout choice—worth every penny if you're after a premium urban experience.
Staying on the 43rd floor was an absolute highlight—literally every night view was breathtaking, with the entire Melbourne skyline glowing beneath us. The apartment layout is perfect: spacious living area, fully equipped kitchen, and a cozy bedroom with a really comfortable bed that made for excellent sleep. Though there’s no breakfast included, the neighborhood has plenty of great dining options nearby, and it’s just a short walk to public transit. The only minor downside? No bathtub, but the shower works perfectly fine. Overall, this place offers incredible value for the price, combining comfort, convenience, and stunning views. I’d definitely come back—highly recommend if you’re looking for a stylish, home-like stay in Melbourne.
Staying at Collins House Apartments by CLLIX was an absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. The location is unbeatable—right next to a free tram stop, making it super easy to explore Melbourne’s city center and surrounding areas. I mentioned during check-in that I’d love a higher floor for better views, and the staff were more than happy to accommodate me. The view from my room was stunning—floor-to-ceiling windows offered panoramic vistas of the city skyline, and one morning I even got lucky enough to witness a hot air balloon floating peacefully above the horizon. It was such a magical moment. The apartment itself was spacious, modern, and well-equipped with everything we needed. Clean, quiet, and thoughtfully designed. The service was friendly and efficient, and every detail felt intentional. For anyone visiting Melbourne, this hotel delivers exceptional value and comfort. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend it.
We had an absolutely wonderful family stay at The Eminence Apartments by CLLIX. The location couldn’t be better—just a 10-minute walk to Melbourne’s CBD, making it easy to explore the city on foot without needing to rely on transport. From the moment we arrived, the service stood out. Victoria and her team were incredibly responsive and genuinely helpful, always ready to assist with any request, big or small. One of our favorite features was the secure private parking—having our own dedicated spot made driving around town and heading out for day trips so much more convenient, especially when traveling with kids. The apartment itself was spacious, beautifully designed, and fully equipped with everything we needed: a dishwasher, oven, washing machine, dryer, and a complete set of kitchenware. Everything was clean, functional, and thoughtfully provided. It felt like a home away from home—comfortable, quiet, and well-located. We truly enjoyed every moment, and I’d happily book here again on our next trip to Melbourne.
Check-in had a minor hiccup, but both the hotel and the platform handled it quickly and smoothly—no stress at all. I stayed in a river-view corner room, and the view was absolutely stunning, especially during sunset when the reflections on the water created such a peaceful atmosphere. If the floor level were a bit higher, it would’ve been even better. Located right along Southbank’s riverside, the hotel is super convenient for exploring Melbourne—just a short walk to the arts precinct, restaurants, or the CBD. The area feels safer and more relaxed compared to the opposite bank. Overall, the vibe is calm and sophisticated, perfect for unwinding after a day of sightseeing. Breakfast was excellent—plenty of options, fresh ingredients, and great quality. It’s rare to find such comfort and value in a city hotel. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a stylish, hassle-free stay with unbeatable views and a relaxed urban feel.
Staying at Grand Hyatt Melbourne was an absolute highlight of my trip to Melbourne. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from the city center, with plenty of dining, shopping, and attractions nearby. My room offered breathtaking views of the skyline and Royal Park, especially stunning during sunrise and sunset. The bed was incredibly comfortable, making for a restful night’s sleep. Staff were friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. Everything about this hotel felt premium without being overpriced. It’s clear they care about guest experience. I’d highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Melbourne—and I’ll definitely be coming back.
Arrived earlier than expected, and the front desk actually managed to check me in ahead of schedule—definitely exceeded my expectations! The hotel is incredibly close to Chinatown, just a 10-minute walk away, with tons of great restaurants around. I stayed just one night before heading out to the Great Ocean Road the next morning, and the whole experience was fantastic. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Location is perfect for exploring Melbourne’s city center and nearby attractions—easy access to public transit too. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a convenient, comfortable base in Melbourne.
Staying at The Ritz-Carlton, Melbourne was an absolute highlight of my trip. The entrance isn’t on Spencer Street—instead, you enter from Lonsdale or Little Lonsdale Streets and take the elevator straight up to the 80th-floor lobby. From the moment you step in, the concierge greets you warmly every time you come and go—it’s such a thoughtful touch. Breakfast, afternoon tea, and dinner are all served on the top floor, offering breathtaking views over the Yarra River and Docklands. The panoramic rooms deliver stunning sunrises and sunsets, even if the glass has a slight tint and the viewing angles are somewhat limited—still, the vista is unforgettable. My room was on floors 60–79, quiet and luxurious with excellent privacy. Breakfast features a small but fresh selection of fruits, bread, and yogurt, while drinks and main dishes are à la carte—though the quality more than makes up for the variety. I especially loved the hand-poured coffee. All bath amenities are Diptyque—luxurious and fragrant—and the bathtub is deep and relaxing. After exploring the city, returning to my room, having a light snack, and soaking in the tub was the perfect way to unwind. It’s not just a stay—it’s an experience, and the value is truly exceptional.
The location is absolutely perfect—right across from the W Hotel with stunning views from the lobby. Within a short walk, you’ll find countless dining options, so you never have to worry about where to eat. It’s just a quick 10-15 minute stroll to Darling Harbour, making it super convenient for sightseeing and evening outings. The room itself is well-equipped with a full kitchen, complete with all necessary cookware and utensils, plus a washer-dryer combo—perfect for longer stays or self-catering. Weekly housekeeping is sufficient for most guests, keeping things tidy without being intrusive. Everything about this stay felt seamless and luxurious. If you’re looking for comfort, convenience, and a prime spot in Melbourne, this hotel is a top recommendation.
This newly renovated five-star hotel stands out from the rest—spacious rooms and incredible value for money. The only minor downside is the location: only a bus stop right outside, with a 5 to 8-minute walk to the nearest train station. But honestly, everything else more than makes up for it. From the moment you step in, the service is impeccable, the ambiance is elegant, and the breakfast is absolutely delicious—fresh, varied, and well-prepared. I even got to meet the hotel’s friendly Labrador during my stay—it was such a sweet surprise! This little moment added a personal touch that made the experience feel warm and welcoming. Overall, an outstanding stay, and I’d definitely return.
