I had yet another wonderful stay at this hotel, with the staff being incredibly welcoming and friendly. The room was clean and cleverly designed, providing a cozy yet spacious feel, but the view was a bit less than ideal due to surrounding construction. I genuinely appreciated the personal touch with a handwritten note welcoming me back; it made me feel valued. Overall, great value for my stay, and I'm excited to return again soon.

We had a wonderful stay in Melbourne, thanks to the hotel's excellent location, just a short walk from public transport and major attractions. The room was spacious and well-equipped, making our week-long stay very comfortable. However, the noise from the nearby trains was somewhat noticeable at times, which might be an issue for light sleepers. Overall, it’s a great value for money with plenty of amenities and easy access to everything we wanted to see.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room was charming and spacious with beautiful views, which I loved. However, the new breakfast restrictions were a big letdown, especially since I was looking forward to a hearty meal. The location is quite convenient for exploring the city, but the dining options were limited during my visit, which was disappointing given the price I paid.

The hotel is conveniently located near tram lines and within walking distance to the city’s highlights. However, noise from the railway line could be an issue depending on your room's location.

Breakfast options were quite limited since the new owners do not serve ham or bacon. It would have been nice to have more variety on the menu, especially considering breakfast is a big part of the stay.

I had a remarkable stay at the Grand Hotel, which offers a perfect blend of historic charm and modern amenities. The room was spacious and comfortable with a cozy loft-style bed, making it feel more like an apartment than a typical hotel room. While I loved the outdoor courtyard and the sauna, I did notice some areas could use a little more upkeep. Overall, it’s a lovely place that feels like a unique and welcoming retreat in the heart of the city.
