"We loved staying as a family for a weekend getaway. Their staff was helpful and welcoming. The room was clean and cozy, but we only needed it for sleep. The breakfast buffet was good. We also used the indoor pool with the kids. It would be nice if it were a bit warmer for winter. Otherwise, it was nice to stay close to the shopping center to do some shopping and eat a variety of food. The parking had good space as well."
"Beautifully made up and super comfortable beds
Very clean
Close enough to large Melbourne hospitals to be convenient
Very flexible check-in system
Superb restaurant to room service
Have stayed many times and will stay many more"
"I’ve stayed here several times and will continue to come back. Rooms are clean and comfortable and well equipped and property is quiet. Secure premises with security gate is very much appreciated.
Also appreciate the coffee machine and the free bottled water.
I will be back"

"My wife & I have a new favourite hotel in Melbourne CBD, this is it.
The staff are wonderful, the room was spotless and the 180 degree city view was a game changer.
Being in the CBD, it is surrounded by restaurants, bars & theatres.
We look forward to our next visit."
"Great hotel, great location. Super friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast at the restaurant was excellent. Bed was extremely comfy. Would have liked a trash can in the room (but that’s a minor point)."
"The. Yarra Valley Lodge is an amazing venue. The staff were friendly and the hotel was set within a golf course. The rooms were clean as was the entire venue."

"We had no expectations before arriving, but we absolutely loved our stay here, such lovely staff and amenities, and the location being so central but still so quiet at night in our room from outside noise.
Would stay here again and again."

"This is a truly amazing hotel. Very close to Southern Cross Marvel Stadium Crown. Lots of restaurants. Breakfast is included in all rooms (Full breakfast). Room was small but more than adequate for our needs beds very good. Shower pressure could have been a bit better. Some better signage out the front would help."

"Very central location in the CBD. Ideal for Theatre and Performances in Melbourne. Easy access to trams and trains. Also, close proximity to Bourke St Mall.
My ideal accommodation choice. Highly recommend."
"Absolutely Great location! Easy walk in to the city once we parked we didn't use the car until we checked out. Room was clean and spacious with an amazing view of the city and Yarra River. The beds and pillows were comfortable. The onsite restaurant and bar were great and staff were amazing! Very close to bars and restaurants and Crown Casino and DFO was over the road. I will definitely stay here again when I'm in Melbourne for future stays. "

If you want to give your credit card some exercise, head out to Doncaster Shopping Centre in Doncaster. Let yourself be amazed at the art galleries in the area — your cultural tour starts here. It's also full of great shops and cafes, so you can spend the afternoon having a wander.
I stayed here with my brother and we had a wonderful stay. Staff were very friendly, especially down at the bistro. Rooms were very clean and comfortable and we slept great. Plus the location is amazing- beautiful views and right across from Westfield Doncaster. Amazing stay, definitely coming back here again!
This is an unusually-placed hotel (behind a pub and a car dealership), but it is convenient to shopping, restaurants and allows for easy access to the rest of Melbourne. It is very clean, and nicely decorated. Not high-end, but totally adequate. We did not stay in our room much, as we spent most of our time visiting family and friends. We had 2 adults and 2 teenagers and stayed in two rooms which were linked and we all had plenty of space and plenty of hot water. The kitchenette is adequate with...
Perfect location for getting around the city. Breakfast amazing and the service was top notch. We will stay again when we are in Melbourne so happy we found this little gem.
The property is clean and maintained with all the right room touches for a delightful work stay — netflix, washer & dryer, kitchenette, usable fridge, fast wifi, and space to work.
As a person in a wheelchair, I appreciated the simple layout of the rooms. Easy place to store my chair (I'm always looking for the place of the outlets) and pretty simple desk chairs to use. The beds are always too high for me so I always need to boost myself with the desk chairs.
Some hotels go over the top with their desk chairs making it hard to climb into bed. But this was pretty straight forward.
We are a retired American couple. We stayed at the Howie for 2 days. The location is excellent. It is literally about 50 ft from some of the most famous "lanes" in Melbourne.
The ground floor has a cafe which was very busy each day. There are countless eateries on the streets surrounding the hotel.
There is a coin operated washer & dryer availabe, which worked great (the front desk will make change for you).
The staff was very friendly & helpful. We would definitely stay there again.
