Our new go to place to stay in Melbourne

We had a wonderful stay at the Grand Hotel. The studio room was very spacious with an amazingly comfortable king size bed. The kitchen had everything we would need if we were staying longer, dishwasher, microwave and a good size small refrigerator. Bathroom was a good size and the shower and excellent rainfall shiwer. Balcony outside and double glazed windows which did mute the sound of the nearby trains! Didn't notice them at all in the night. Close to trams, Southern Cross station, supermarkets and DFOs. We will definitely make this out hotel of choice in Melbourne.

A Grand old hotel

We chose this hotel for our 2 night stay, as it was close to the train station, as we use the V/line country service. It was also accessible to public transport, which we used to get to our 2 shows. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Check in was easy. And our room was very spacious with all the kitchen equipment we needed. Would definitely recommend and would stay here again.

Stayed for one night over the weekend. Staff were very professional and helpful. Parking was easy. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. While the hotel is next to Southern Cross train station and the metro train line, the room was quieter than anticipated. I would stay here again.

Wonderful old hotel that have a lot of long term tenants leaving the hotel rooms at the back of the hotel, at the back of the building where the trains are active all night long. The room itself is lovely with a very small bathroom. Maid service only on certain days. Again a very long walk to your room, meaning a full city block then you turn the corner and walk further.
