And if you don't see what you want just ask the staff. The staff would make me 4 sunny side up fried eggs in the morning. Then, at night they would make us hot chocolate. I loved the almond croissant. At night there is enough alcohol for a football team to get drunk. They have tons of beer choices and even entire bottles of hard alcohol plus wine. I've never seen anything like it. The staff is great. They always greet you, and are willing to help with anything. The rooms were excellent, and most importantly, dark and quiet. The location is right in the middle of the city. Easily one of the best Hyatt's I've ever stayed at. Absolutely use a lounge pass!!!

Loved this hotel! The location is perfect and walking distance from so much in the city! short walk…read moreaway is the longest painted alley along with a lovely brewery and is across the street from CBD croissants. The hotel lobby was spectacular and gave a real majestic view with two main entrances. The service was great in the lounge. After I mentioned to James, the hyatt staff team leader that my wife and daughter couldnt have eggs, he made sure every night they had a vegan dessert waiting for them. Checked on us every day and just wow, he went above and beyond. Karla the chef also checked on us because the vegan desserts are made different and wanted to make sure the flavor and consistency was spot on. And Reak was great with helping us get around the city and telling where to go. The room was spectacular with floor to ceiling windows. It did get hot if the windows were left open during the day so we had to remember that. But great view of the city and would definitely recommend staying here again. I think we stayed for 5 nights? 3 would've probably been enough to do everything we wanted to.

Le Meridien opened in March. The tram stops right in front of the hotel- convenient! The location…read moreis also great because it is close to Parliament Square. On the 5th floor, there is a heated pool that faces the square. We got an upgraded room and the floor-to-ceiling windows face toward the square. In the bathroom, there is also a motorized retractable screen that faces out into the bedroom. I guess you can shower/bathe while enjoying the view. The decorative pillows on chairs were printed with scenes of Melbourne. There were books on the shelf, and I browsed the one about Melbourne. The main thing I didn't care for was the firmness of the bed. Overall, I would highly recommend this hotel!

Dark and Grungy. The place looks pretty run down. For example, the bathroom was moldy and the tiny…read morebathroom sink had a really slow drain (see attached pictures). The hair dryer had hair in it. The owners don't appear to be reinvesting in or maintaining the place. For example, the carpets in the lobby are threadbare (see attached picture). Housekeeping repeatedly would only leave a single hand towel and wash cloth in our room for two each day, despite daily requests for a second set, so it appeared there was a towel shortage at the hotel. Our first-floor window looked out onto a brick wall (see attached photo). When we asked for a room that wasn't facing a brick wall, hotel management wrote back stating "Our Midtown One Bedroom Suites are located on levels 1 through 4. As we are an inner-city property surrounded by neighbouring buildings, most rooms do not offer extensive views," which we took to mean that that rooms located on levels 1 through 4 of this 5-floor hotel offer the same brick wall view. There were also few amenities and services. For a city the size of Melbourne, you could do better. A lot better. Ohnogo Ovolo.

Overall, this is a very good hotel pick as it seems to have been RECENTLY UPDATED…read more Not over the top luxurious, but it is not the spartan rooms of most Aussie hotels. VERY comfortable, QUIET and RELAXING (and what more can you ask of a vacation stay?) and VERY NICE, ROOMY ROOMS. It is a PERFECT LOCATION as you can EASILY walk a couple of blocks to the AMAZING, Melbourne Museum (a must see w/their new "Native People" exhibit!), their Parliament, the Victorian State Library, several Theaters, many, historical churches and a quick, FREE tram ride to their Queen Vic Market. From the hotel, LOVED being able to walk around and see the incredible number of relatively new architectural-award-winning , tall office/condo buildings interspersed with historical landmarks/stores! While we were here, the only aggravation that we had was that we apparently got the last few bottles of the PLASTIC, SEALED, BOTTLED AT THE SPRING/sourced, sealed water bottles! What this Marriott now uses for the rooms is a VERY SLIM, TALL GLASS bottle (Unfortunately easy to knock over in the middle of the night on your nightstand!) - and it says ON THE BOTTLE - BOTTLED AT THE HOTEL! WHAT?!?!? Complained to the hotel management about this and they mentioned it is on "sustainability" standards of the corporate Marriott parent in the U.S. Not surprised that Marriott corporate (located in the U.S.), went a little crazy w/their "woke" standards. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY a "green" decision of Marriott corporate that thinks this INCONVENIENCE of having a TALL, OPEN, GLASS bottle sitting on the nightstand is a good idea! Trust me, the planet will not notice if you still provided nice, sealed, PLASTIC BOTTLES - of "bottled at the source" Spring water! On the positive side, in true Marriott fashion, the staff nicely accommodated us by obtaining/providing sealed plastic bottles for us in the room, each day. Sincerely appreciated their extra attention to our needs! As to their "Executive Lounge", it is a small, enclave off the bar area and only has limited snacks of a few pastries/fruit in the AM and a couple of warm appetizers, dips, cheese/ meat laid out for the evening. Their Executive Lounge in Melbourne is less than what we experienced at the Sheraton Grand/Hyde Park in Sydney (which is another Marriott property that we frequent as Lifetime Titanium members). In the Exec Lounge here, there are NO CONTAINERS TO GO of beverages - ONLY a "communal pour fountain" and GLASS containers to drink from! Again, Marriott corporate, PLEASE consider that GUESTS DO notice that your corporate group has gone TOO "woke" and have now decided it is better to inconvenience the guests rather than expect that they will recycle a plastic or tin beverage container. (We also have executive status at Hilton and HILTON does not inconvenience their guests this way.) And, note that this Marriott has NO FLAT SHEETS for the bed! It looks like they used their Flat Sheets to make 3-sided duvet covers, but they are WAY too short! You cannot even completely cover yourself with these duvets when you lay flat! I have to UNTUCK the bottom-end of the bed so that my 6 ft husband has enough of the duvet to pull up to his shoulders. PLUS, they have no heat in the rooms! The thermostat says that it is for COOLING only and to "turn off" the unit if you want to be warmer! WHAT!?!?!!! Must be another Marriott corporate "woke" decision. On the positive side, the staff here is EXCEPTIONAL! During our almost 2 week stay, they greeted us by name and were always going out of their way to make our stay, wonderful! In particular, want to give EXTRA KUDOS to the Dining Room Mgr, Pat and her staff! EVERY morning, she and/or her VERY GREAT STAFF, would welcome us to breakfast and start our days out well by providing an EXTENSIVE BREAKFAST BUFFET (or custom-prepared items on request). It was obvious that Pat and her team (especially, Reena), take the comfort and needs of guests, very seriously and we very much noticed their hard work/dedication. Nice to see the very busy Dining Room staff, also taking the time to check on the needs of each table of guests (particularly as there were physically-challenged guests dining on several days). BECAUSE of this entire group of Marriott employees at this hotel (Hotel Mgt, Front Desk, Concierge, Exec Lounge, Phone Operators, Servers, Chefs, etc.), we will book this hotel again in the near future. This is truly a hard to find, well located, updated/modern hotel, enjoyable property combined with professional staff. Worth staying here! Thank you, Marriott!

Quest on Bourke was where I stayed for a 2 night trip down in Melbourne and I must say, I made a…read moregreat choice when I chose this services apartment. From when we got there, reception was phenomenal and extremely helpful as this was my first time in Melbourne. From recommending restaurants and making reservations for us, booking tickets to King Kong, giving directions and the complementary buffet breakfast for my birthday after our first night. They were always with a smile and even with a laugh. We were located in room 207 which is a standard 2 bedroom. The rooms were quite large with a spa bath, 2 toilets and a kitchen with a dishwasher. Linen was clean and beds were nearly made. The entire room was spotless which was fantastic. Only minor issue was that the bathroom did not have an exhaust fan, which was like I said, a minor issue. The wifi though was a little pricy and there were some issues when connecting it to my mac computer. A tip is that you need to use Firefox to sign into the internet then you can use whatever browser you like. The location of place was perfect, literally outside the doors is a tram stop that got us around the city really easily. Overall I would recommend this place to anyone traveling to Melbourne and I'll definitely be back soon.

One was not available so they gave me a $75 AUD food credit for the entire stay. Weak AF!!!!! A burger cost $36 AUD. I should have been given a $75 AUD food credit/day. The foregoing would have been more commensurate with the cost of a room upgrade; I tried to book a lounge access room via the site, but the radio button was unavailable.

The upgrade should be $200 AUD based on exchange rates; Shitty room w/ no view; Our room was not cleaned the 3 days we stayed. We had to call the last day to have our room cleaned.

The star of the show here was the breakfast. The made to order egg bar was delicious and the fresh waffles and pancakes, avocado bar, fresh juices and perfectly cut and displayed fruit were delectable. The Langham priorities health, and the breakfast showed just that. Of course, you can enjoy sweets, a chocolate tower, and ice cream at breakfast, too!
