The décor and layout of suites at this hotel are very well reviewed by previous guests. Reviewers agree rooms here are clean and in an excellent state, décor is elegant and appealing to all kinds of taste, furnishings are comfortable, and the bathrooms are tasteful. Guests also mention the well-stocked mini bar and excellent views across the city.
Almost every reviewer mentions the exceptional location of this hotel. The situation in the thriving CBD meant guests could easily explore as tourists, business travelers could conveniently commute to their respective corporate location, and that there was plenty going on in the local area to entertain. This part of the CBD is particularly abundant with restaurants and nightlife.
Guests who ate the buffet breakfast offered by the hotel found it to be high quality with a wide selection to choose from. Hot and cold dishes are provided, with traditional favourites and some more creative items included.
Some guests felt that while most of their room was well-proportioned, the bathrooms were too small. A surprising number of reviewers, including those with experience staying at other Stamford hotels in Australia, noted this.
A number of reviewers were unhappy that the hotel did not offer complimentary Wi-Fi. Guests who wished to access the internet were required to buy a voucher for 24 hours, which was not cheap, according to reports.
There are some complaints about the cost of the hotel, though most reviewers seem to be aware that such a price is to be expected of a five-star accommodation provider in the center of Melbourne. Alongside the room cost, guests note the price for breakfast and other meals.
