The Victoria Hotel Melbourne

8/10 Good

"Good"

Rydges Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed at the Executive Suite on the ninth floor. The room was roomy and comfortable. Well-appointed and tastefully decorated. We paid a similar amount to what 5-star hotels were quoting for their entry-level rooms in Melbourne CBD at the same period, so it was excellent value. If I need to pick on something, it would be very minor things: one of the two couches in the sitting room was not comfortable for longer sitting, and the shower (in the oversize, functional bathroom) could do with a shelf for a toothbrush or a soap. Minor issues indeed. We will stay there again."

10/10 Excellent

"From check in to check out I could not have hoped for a better stay Great room at a great price with excellent service from all the staff that I enountered. Enjoyed drinks and a snack in the Hops Garden before an exceptional meal at a reasonable price in Woods restaurant, again with exceptional service from all the staff. Great breakfast buffet and secure parking. I definately will be returning."
