I had an very nice stay at the Grand Hotel Melbourne! The old-world charm of the building really captivated me, and the spaciousness of my Studio Apartment was a real plus. However, I did notice some of the facilities are showing their age, which was a slight drawback. Overall, the warm staff and fantastic location made up for it, and I can't wait to come back!

I was a bit disappointed with the dining options, though. The buffet had its moments, but I've had better omelets elsewhere. It wasn't a deal-breaker, but certainly an area that could be improved.

My stay at the Grand Hotel Melbourne was quite mixed. On the plus side, the location was fantastic, right by Spencer Street Station, making it easy to explore the area. I enjoyed the spaciousness of my room, which had lovely views. However, I encountered a few drawbacks, like the cramped communal spaces and some unexpected service charges that left me feeling underwhelmed. Overall, it was a decent experience, but there were areas that could use improvement.

I had a spacious room with a good view of the city streets. However, I had to walk quite a distance down a long corridor to get there, which was a bit inconvenient. While the room was neat, there were reports of other rooms in disrepair.

The staff was friendly and attentive, but I didn't appreciate the extra charge for soy milk, which felt unreasonable. It seemed like there was a willingness to help with requests, but some service aspects could be improved.

The hotel’s facilities had charm, but some were a bit dated, and I noticed that the pool change facilities were closed during my stay, which was disappointing. It would’ve been nice to have full access to all amenities.

I had a pleasant stay at Grand Hotel Melbourne, thanks to its charming historical vibe and friendly staff. The location is fantastic, making it easy to explore the city. However, my room could have been better prepared, as there were no room service cards and I found the mattress to be a bit too soft for my preference.
Rooms

The room I stayed in was spacious with a little kitchenette, but I found it lacked some essentials and the mattress was a touch too soft. I appreciated the high ceilings and overall comfort, though it was a bit of a trek to the bedroom and bathroom for my liking.

While I enjoyed the ambiance of the restaurant, my dining experience was somewhat mixed. The omelet I had was not to my taste, as it had a distinct curry flavor that I didn’t expect.

The hotel offers great facilities, including a lovely pool and courtyard, which are perfect for unwinding after a day in the city. However, there were some issues with the pool regarding cleanliness that could use improvement.

I had a fantastic time at the Grand Hotel Melbourne, which is housed in a stunning 1880s historic building that’s been beautifully restored. The staff were incredibly welcoming and even surprised me with a handwritten note in my room. While my room offered a lovely view, I was occasionally aware of the faint sound of trains. Overall, this hotel provides great value for a nice stay with its old-world charm.
