"Safe and great location. I stayed here prior to a hospital stay at The Alfred. Very clean, spacious rooms. Complimentary coffee pods and range of tea available. Staff very friendly. The 24/7 reception very handy. Parking on site also convenient (pricey at $45 a night however room cost was great at $130 a night). Only improvement would be the pillows. They were way too high. "

5/5 Excellent

"I had an amazing stay at The Stamford Plaza Melbourne, which is always my top choice whenever I visit the city. The hotel's location is unbeatable—right in the heart of Melbourne, with everything you need just a short walk away. Whether you're in the mood for dining, a shopping spree, or exploring the city's famous landmarks, you're perfectly positioned. Public transport is also easily accessible, making it convenient to get around. I stayed in the King Suite, and it was fantastic! The room was incredibly spacious, immaculately clean, and well-appointed with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The bed and pillows were super plush, ensuring a restful sleep after a long day out. Another highlight was the superfast internet, which made streaming, work, and browsing effortless—a definite bonus for both business and leisure travelers. Overall, The Stamford Plaza continues to exceed my expectations with its excellent service, prime location, and top-notch amenities. I highly recommend it and will definitely be staying here again on my next trip to Melbourne!"

"The Langham is a magnificent hotel and the staff are brilliant . Unfortunately a building next door is being demolished and the resulting noise is very annoying ( started drilling at 7.25am finished at 5.25pm. The hotel staff tried their best but the noise is a big problem . However it won’t stop us staying there in future "
