Friendly baristas who crafted our drinks this morning as well as the other staff in the seating and serving area. Staff walked around handing out glasses of sparkling water. The hot breakfast options were interesting with choices such as patatas bravas, vegan huevos rancheros and beef chipolata. The cold items were better tasting especially the fresh fruit smoothie and mint and berry coulis chia pot. This was the first lounge that I can recall that included a kiddie play area with toys. Nice for families. Each set of chairs, comfortable, included a side table with built in outlets and four USB ports for charging. Nice spot for relaxing before our 14 hour flight.

Good lounge, but that may be more to do with no crowds than actual layout…read more Very out of the way, had to go down corridors and two escalators from the gate concourse but finally found it. No hand sanitizers anywhere - not even on the food buffet. Asked for one and a staff member brought one out ... and left with it .... So my hands were clean but not sure about anyone else helping themselves to food. Good barista coffee, but no shirt order chef or martini mixer like Sydney koru lounge. Overall ho him experience

We had a couple hour layover in Melbourne Airport and we started our wait here…read more It was the first time trying out the Singapore Airline Lounge and it was much smaller than the Air Zealand's. Checkin at the front went smoothly and *G status gained us admittance. The rep reminded us of the early closing hours before we entered since the lounge was open only when a Singapore Airline flight was scheduled. Inside there lounge wasn't busy at all. The furniture and decor inside was average and mirrored those in other airports. The buffet offerings contained both Western and Asian selections. We gravitated towards the dim sum steamers since we wouldn't get them in the next lounge we'd visit. Overall decent pork siu mai and shrimp/ginger dumplings. What stood out was the barista service offered/ made to order coffees and teh tarik (milk tea). It was delivered in a short time to our table. I looked forward to the teh Tarik but it was the iced latte that was the better of the two drinks. The opening hours were inconvenient for non-Singapore Airlines flyers but at least quiet and less crowded option in MEL.

There are two places for passengers on United flights to stay at Melbourne airport ever since the closure of the United lounge several years ago, and I think the Air New Zealand Lounge downstairs is a better choice: it is bigger and has better service and longer open hours.

I have nothing at all to complain about!…read more Our room was clean, the bed was comfortable and I heard literally no noise from other guests. A miracle, honestly! The mattress and pillows are high quality as is the shower. If you want a bite or drink we found the hotel bar to be surprisingly reasonable price wise and the pizza we had was really good! Location wise - it's a bit away from the center but you can't go wrong as the free tram is steps away and gets you to 99% of what you want to do - FREE!! The Skybus is also less than a block away as well. If you need it, a giant ass mall is across the street. Plenty of cafes, bars, shops and restaurants within a few minutes walk. Nice staff, great location - would definitely recommend.

There's also public transportation near by, so it is easy to get to if you aren't staying at the hotel itself. The hotel staff I interacted with was friendly and accommodating.

The Pros: * Great Location - right across from MCG Stadium + Close to AO Courts... and parks. Close enough but not to far from CBD. * Rooms are clean / Comfortable but smallish - dark colors in rooms and common area make it seem small. * Bathrooms are small but adequate. Good hot water pressure. * Comfortable beds. * Nice pool area and views. * Friendly staff and reasonable prices... * Lots of TV Options. Cons: * Just feels sark and dated... needs a refresh - especially common areas. Some plants / flowers + fresh paint would help. * Entry doors are poorly labeled and confusing, * Not in category of 5 star hotels and not trying to get close... * Lots of room service trays left in hallways all the time.

We paid for the valet parking which worked well. We never waited long and not having to deal with parking in Melbourne was a huge bonus. Staff was great. Besides the basics, they were helpful on local attractions and eating establishments. We had housekeeping each day but there was an option to skip if you'd prefer. I got a coffee to go a couple of times in the 1st floor restaurant prior to heading out for the day. Coffee was great and staff whipped it up quickly. It was a great location and we walked to many places including Queen Victoria's Market and the Eureka Sky Tower. Great stay.

I had a look at the menu for Harbour Town Hotel and it seemed very reasonable fare at decent prices. On walking in, the decor is a composition of city chiqué with typical hotel seating and tables. The staff were very friendly; I would assume it had a lot to do with them not being run off their feet. Harbour Town Hotel also offers your typical Monday to Friday night special deals on certain menu items; so if you're on a bit of a budget, check their website and make the most of your evening. A well stocked bar, again, fairly reasonable prices for a city venue. I did try the Parma and must say I was quite impressed despite the previous reviewers comments. It was simple, quite 'thick' as in not so much a schnitzel style fillet. The Napoli sauce was homemade, not your usual 'out of the bottle' tomato paste, and the beer batter chips were only lightly battered. Without hesitation, I am happy to give this venue 5stars.
