"It's an older place I think so some cosmetic issues but for the price I actually found it to be much better than I expected! Room and bathroom were clean, comfortable and functional. It was quiet so easy to rest. Very close to everything I needed. Clean, comfy bed. The staff I dealt with were lovely and very helpful. I would stay there again."
"This has a been a regular stay for me and my family dating right back to my wedding night 18 years ago. Lovely staff, great facilities and we 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)."
"Loved our stay beautiful hotel staff were extremely pleasant and helpful food and drink were top rate room was excellent great location. Pillows and bed were a little hard highly recommend this hotel."
"Great and very convenient location to Hamer Hall, Arts Centre and to the Southbank eateries along the Yarra River. Very lovely when lit up at night. My bed and pillows were super comfy so had a good night's sleep. Staff very friendly and helpful with my questions and their general assistance. Breakfast was good, Barista coffee excellent. 🙂"
"Excellent hotel for work trip. Facilities were great and free breakfast was a great inclusion. My only feedback is that it’s Melbourne - let’s have coffee that reflects it."

"It was just a great little place to stay. It's surprisingly quiet, friendly staff at the desk, convenient location.....it was perfect for my business trip.
The only negative feedback is the bedside phones. They are very big and outdated. I think there's some better options.
Everything else was just fantastic"

"Very conveniently located, well priced and reasonably well maintained property. Pretty quiet too given the proximity to events going around. The bed was firm (which I like) and was faultless. Definitely on my radar again for a city stay."

If you like spending time outside, then spend the day at Blackburn Lake Sanctuary, located 11 mi (17.7 km) from central Melbourne. Want to stretch your legs some more? Head to Mullum Mullum Park and Wattle Park, both nearby.
If you like spending time outside, then spend the day at Wandinong Sanctuary, located 10.5 mi (16.9 km) from central Melbourne. Want to stretch your legs some more? Head to Wattle Park and Mullum Mullum Park, both nearby.
Great shopping Centre’s just close by and the Village cinema next door was a highlight as well. Lovely bed and a super cozy environment. Had a lovely and pleasant stay at Novotel
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.
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.
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.
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.
