Right in the middle of Melbourne city, surrounded by eateries and shopping centres, this is a very good location for a hotel catering for tourists who need basic comfort and convenience. On the surface this hotel would be considered mediocre but we grew to like it a lot because the hotel staff were very efficient, friendly and courteous. Above all,... More

The staff were wonderful at this motel, always polite and helpful but two things will stop me using this motel again for travel. 1. I was put on a floor that stank of cigarette fumes and when I complained I was told that "yes they had a lot of airline staff staying who had been given permission to smoke" I... More

My husband and I recently stayed here for 3 nights. The hotel is located in an excellent position right in the centre of Melbourne with easy access to shops, restaurants (particularly Chinatown) and transport. Check in was efficient and staff were friendly. The room was clean and spacious with all of the amenities that you would require. The décor was... More

I found the Swanston Hotel in Melbourne to be an excellent central location. The staff were very helpful and the rooms clean and comfortable, all at a reasonable mid-range price. I have no hesitation in staying again at the Swanston when next I'm in Melbourne.

My mum and I stayed here for 2 nights. It is on the same block as the mall so we were able to drop our shopping back to our room and have a drink in the middle of our shopping. The beds were comfy. The bathroom was modern and had an amazing showerhead and luxury shampoo/ conditioners. The swimming pool... More

Not having spent any time in Melbourne before, we were keen to have central location from which to enjoy our stay. The Swanston proved to be perfect for that purpose and we were able to access all our targets with ease. Spending most of our time " on the go ", we didn't stay in the building a lot, however...

Right in the CBD and one of the few hotels with two double beds in the one room. Reception and other staff excellent, rooms spacious. It's a very good hotel. Only negative is buffet breakfast which is shared with welcome inn. Feeding time at the zoo! My advice is to go to the other restaurant for breakfast in the hotel... More

From the time we pull up in the car to the time when drove away the service was second to none. The staff were friendly and helpful. The location was excellent. Right in the center of the city with Burke St Mall a 30 second stroll away. The food was delicious and the room was spacious, clean and very comfortable.

Whilst the location of the hotel is fantastic, I was really disappointed with the cleanliness of the room this stay. Disappointing because I always stay at this hotel and have never experienced this problem before. The bathroom was not very clean, with stains on the toilet seat and rim of the bath very unpleasant. The bathroom floor was sticky to... More
