Hotel in zona St Basil Jacobite Syrian Orthodox Church, Melbourne

Everything was perfect! From the beautiful interiors to the restaurant/bar downstairs to the friendly and helpful staff, to the perfect location in Fitzroy. We were celebrating my birthday and the lovely staff left a hand written note with some sweet treats, such a thoughtful touch. We also ate at the restaurant downstairs and had the most gorgeous food and wine.. you have to try the dumplings!! I wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else in Melbourne now!

Lygon Lodge has always been my go to stay when in Melbourne. It has recently been sold and this was first stay since the sale. The new consortium have continued with the same warm welcome. Lovely reception staff. Improvements were noticeable. I like to stay in a particular room, and once again it felt familiar and comfortable. I have to commend the wonderful cleaning staff, each day they left my room spotlessly clean. Lygon Lodge is in a fabulous location. Close to everything the area has to offer, such as restaurants, cafes & bars, a fabulous arthouse theatre, and wonderful bookshop, amongst other fantastic shops. Public transport nearby. Lygon Lodge ticks all the boxes.

The staff were not following COVID protocols. None wore masks. Day manager actually spoke to us with mask on chin and AROUND the safety barrier. One pen used for everything by everyone. Night manager & staff as well as other guests were all maskless. We were not asked to show proof of our vaccination status. Inspired ZERO confidence that they were actually sanitising anything. My partner also felt unsafe as there were a lot of people loitering around the building. The room was clean and tidy. Located excellently for the event we were attending. Hot water worked, loved the choice of flooring. That was all. The room offered only one single bar of soap. No shower gel, shampoo or any extra toiletries as is expected from even the most basic accomodation you can stay in anywhere else. I have stayed in youth hostels in the outback and even they offered more than a tiny bar of soap. There was no indications of any extra services offered or being available. There were no extra pillows or blankets available in the room. One very flat pillow per person and a thin doona only. The pillows were so low that I could not sleep on it and when I asked for another pillow from the night manager I was met with rudeness. He finally gave me an old, dirty pillow with no pillow case (see photos). When I asked for a pillow case he acted like I was being ridiculous. We slept badly as the bed was very hard. Actually went home and slept as we were so tired from the uncomfortable bed. Upon checkout we got stuck in the lift as the door to the G floor would not open. We finally called for help using the phone but even though the front desk manager answered and said he would be with us immediately he was not. We finally left by going back to our floor and using the fire escape to exit via the basement parking. He then told us he couldn’t hear what we were saying on the phone so basically ignored us, and then gave some rubbish excuse about the one elevator being an old one that was not for guests. Basically if we had not exited the way we did we would have been stuck in the elevator for hours being ignored. There was no signage indicating anywhere that one of the two lifts was not for guests, and if the lift was not for guests you would think it would be clearly marked so.

Nice location. Easy access to any attractions in town. All within walking distance. Friendly staffs and good environment. Second time staying here after 2019. Still as good as before. Recommended if your are on a budget trip. Worth the price.

The staff members were great! They were attentive and friendly and made us feel very welcome—the highlight of our stay. The location in the heart of the theatre district is also terrific. The elite lounge has kind of an odd setup, but both breakfast options and evening appetizers and drinks were plentiful and tasty. Water pressure in the shower was a trickle, and our 2 double beds were comically close together—maybe 15cm between them. Overall, though, it was a quality Marriott experience.

Domenica amatoriale. Ho scritto un'e-mail il giorno prima dell'arrivo per chiedere l'ubicazione del parcheggio. Nessuna risposta ricevuta. Siamo arrivati ​​e abbiamo fatto il check-in. Abbiamo dato le carte in camera. Sono salito, la porta non si apriva, sono tornato alla scrivania, l'ho cambiato e mi è stato consigliato di ripararlo. Sono salito di nuovo, la porta non si apriva. Sono tornato giù e ho chiesto a mia moglie di venire giù. Ho sbattuto le carte sul bancone e mi hanno consigliato di procurarmi una stanza in cui le chiavi di accesso funzionano effettivamente. Ci siamo seduti. Dopo 15 minuti ho avvisato che la vita era troppo breve per mangiare per loro. Dovevamo pranzare e saremmo tornati tra 30 minuti. Se non risolto entro allora, sarà l'ora del Manager. Sono tornato, nuove carte, nuova stanza ed eravamo dentro, Avanti, password Wi Fi. È in TV, no, non lo era. Torno alla scrivania che l'ha scritto, lo ha scritto, non andare. Tornati alla scrivania ancora una volta, inseriscono la password Wi-Fi. Questo è stato fatto domenica. Lunedi. La signora alla reception si è scusata e ci ha dato l'aggiunta pomeridiana al parcheggio che ci ha evitato di correre in giro e ci ha permesso di pranzare prima di partire da Mel CBD. Ottima posizione, personale amatoriale in servizio la domenica.

Choosing Dorsett for my first journey to Australia. Price is rather okay since it is winter. Dorsett located in the city center，which is about a 10-minute walk from Southern Cross Bus Station. There is a model car placing right beside the front door. Front desk receptionists are friendly and it took only couple of minutes to check in. 200 Australian dollar is required as deposit，either by credit card or cash. The room is about 30 square meters，which is big enough for two person. Facilities are fine，but neither disposable items （toothbrush，slipper）nor drinking water were provided. City view could be seen from the window. Swimming pool is at the 7th floor. Housekeeping service of 10 Australian dollar is included in the room price and is refundable for those who do not need it. Food delivery is available but could only be place at the lobby. Remember to take your room key at night in case the front door is locked after certain period. Checking out is also fast and luggage storage service is provided. Overall，living in Dorsett is a good experience.

I had a great experience at MCB! This hostel is greatly located- a 3 minute walk from the sky bus station (which is exactly what you want coming from a flight!) and in the CBD. When I arrived I was really tired and wanted a nap straight away. My room wasn't ready as I was earlier than the check in time but the receptionist made sure to notify me as soon as the room was ready which I really appreciated. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. They offer free breakfast 07:00-11:00 I believe? I appreciated this every day. My room was clean and so were the facilities. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it!

Il personale della reception è molto amichevole e estremamente efficiente in tutte le mie esigenze e indagini. Il mantenimento della casa rende sempre la mia camera nuova e pulita. La posizione è al centro della città che è conveniente per tutte le vostre esigenze e luoghi di visita.
