"My wife and I stayed at The Settlement on the 7th and 8th due to a family bereavement. The staff were caring and compassionate from Check in to departure. The rooms are a generous size and spotlessly clean' The food was excellent and the waiting staff and bar staff attentive. Special thank to Jason for his care and kind words at a difficult time.

Hannah St Hotel Melbourne

8/10 Good

"The only thing we didn’t like was the front of the hotel was not very clear so finding the main entrance wasn’t easy but the hotel itself was lovely ."

The Victoria Hotel Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing experience very quiet had amazing sleep"

Great Southern Hotel Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"Handy location a short walk from Sky Bus and Southern Cross station. Comfy room and warm shower. Helpful to be able to leave bag before check in and after check out. Big breakfast was very good value. Unfortunately other guests aren’t always considerate about being quiet in the hallways and sometimes it is also possible to hear water running from other rooms when guests flush the toilet or use the shower but otherwise it was quiet for a central location."
