This hotel is just a 3-minute walk from Melbourne Central Station, making it a quiet, safe, and very convenient location. What stood out most was the professionalism and friendliness of the staffs, service was consistently excellent throughout our stay. Breakfast options in the morning were quite limited but very healthy, and while the restaurant food was decent, there is still room for improvement. I really appreciated the hotel’s sustainability efforts. Instead of plastic bottled water, guests are provided with glass bottles that can be refilled on Level 2. We also opted out of daily room service, and as part of their “green service” initiative, we received a $20 credit for each night—an unexpected but very welcome bonus at checkout. Overall, Novotel continues to impress and never disappoints.

I had a comfortable stay at Novotel Melbourne Central. The hotel is clean, spacious, and well-maintained. The room was quiet and I couldn’t hear other guests at all, which made for a peaceful stay. The central location is excellent, making it easy to explore the city on foot or catch public transport to other areas. One thing to note is the open-air bathroom layout. This wasn’t an issue for me, but it may not suit everyone. Overall, a very comfortable and convenient stay, and I would happily return.

We stayed two nights at the Novotel Melbourne Central. The room was absolutely spotless. There is a mini bar in the room, which was a nice surprise. They have a restaurant called the Pretty Boy Bar & Restaurant located at the hotel. They even offer room service! They offer slippers, razors, dental kits, shower caps, combs, sanitary bags & vanity bags all upon request if needed. They offer breakfast, luggage storage, as well as free WiFi. There’s a 24 hour gym as well. We were on the 33rd floor, and the view was fantastic. The room was also silent. We never heard anyone above or beside us! The reception staff were so sweet and accommodating. They offer valet parking for a fee. Weekdays are priced at $70 and weekends are $80. If we ever find ourselves back in Melbourne, we would definitely stay here again!

The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was spacious and well-appointed, with a comfortable bed and amenities that met my needs. While the hotel's location was convenient for my purposes, I would have liked to see more dining options nearby. Overall, my stay at the Novotel - Melbourne Central was a positive experience, and I would consider returning in the future. The hotel's balance of comfort, amenities, and location made for a pleasant one-night stay." Ratings: - Cleanliness: 4/5 - Comfort: 4/5 - Staff: 4/5 - Amenities: 3.5/5 - Location: 4/5 - Value: 4/5
