Good property in the CBD close to everything and heaps dining options in Melbourne. Walkable to everywhere in the CBD. Property showing signs of wear and tear though, rooms needs a spruce up. Bathroom and room overall a good size. Water pressure good, beds comfortable. Recommended!

Very polite and professional staff. Close to everything. Clean and tidy room.

This place is in a very convenient location in the heart of Melbourne. The staff are very attentive and friendly and the Happy Hour at the hotel bar is definitely worth checking out as is the buffet breakfast. It is an older building though and the facilities feels tired at times, although the lifts work very quickly. The pool is adequately heated but is very small so fills up quickly.

We stayed at Novotel Melbourne on Collins during the Taylor Swift weekend in Melbourne and the city was super busy. It is amazing the boost these three concerts must have had for the economy of the city. Despite the craziness of the city during this weekend it was great to have the Novotel to came back to. Located right in the middle of Collins Street the location is perfect for anyone visiting Melbourne. Dining and shopping options are within a 100 metres in every direction, and a tram stop is practically right outside the door. The staff are wonderfully friendly and super helpful. The hotel itself is spotless, and our room (junior suite) was the perfect size for our family of four. The breakfast was great with delicious hot and cold options, and the food available from the bar was also terrific (we tried the spaghetti bolognese, Collins Club, and the dumplings). The pool (with spa) and gym were an added bonus. All in all, a great hotel for a visit to Melbourne.

Mostly good but the pitiful performance of the hotel’s wi-fi tainted our stay. Certainly not strong enough for streaming. Sub 1Mbps for the entirety of our stay. Tested speed on lvl11 and lvl7 - same poor performance. Such a shame as the rest of our experience was fine.

We stayed at the Novotel for just 1 night. Room was clean and comfortable, all staff were very friendly and extremely helpful, good location and within walking distance to CBD and all shops. Parking was a little hard to find and valet parking is expensive $64 per night, but managed to get the 1 spot available at the front of the hotel to unload our bags. Overall, very good experience.

Minimal staffing, unable to cope with demand. Dirty dishes outside of room on arrival. Took 4 hours to get our car parked. Cut our stay short due to such a horrible visit. Will never stay with Novatel on Collins again.

Hotel and facilities as expected, only issue was room not being available when checking in early evening and having to wait, although we were provided with a drinks voucher. Attitude of the reception staff was disappointing as they seemed to think it was funny a room that was booked from 2pm was still not ready by 6pm but other than that all staff were friendly and helpful.

We were barely greeted on arrival or departure, just given our room key. The pool was really small and the spa was small. I’d choose somewhere else next time.

This hotel has a fantastic family suite which was spacious enough for our family of five. Great facilities, good dining options and the staff were friendly and professional at a very busy time of the year. Would definitely stay again!
