Top Yarra Riverfront Hotel Reviews

Hannah St Hotel Melbourne

8/10 Good

"With the hotel only opened in about 6 months ago, the amenities still has a new feel to it. However, we booked the room thinking that it would have a separate bath (listed on the details) but that wasn’t the case. We found out later that there are only 3 rooms with a bath at the hotel. We love that all the staff at the hotel were friendly and welcoming, and the room layout is great and functional. However, there was an issue in our room 706 which we shared privately with the hotel, hope that can be improved in near future. There were also some design improvements that can be made for guests comfort that we shared with the hotel too."
