Ivanhoe Holidays from AU$2,148

Great stay. Close to everything in Hyde Park.

very good hotel and nearby the shopping area

One of the nicest hotels I’ve stayed at!!

The suite was amazing - the decor was beautiful and it was well equipped with everything I needed for a longer stay. The coffee machine and local freshly ground coffee was a nice touch. The bed was incredibly comfortable too. There were a few tiny issues with the room - the water pressure in the shower was really poor making hair washing feel like a chore and there were no tea spoons which made stirring coffee or eating a yogurt kind of comical. However, neither of these were deal breakers for me. What was a deal breaker was the complete lack of communication on my final evening / morning when I needed some check out information and go absolutely no response via email, phone or messaging on social media. It was incredibly stressful - even the cleaner tried to help me contact the manager and had no luck. I ended up having to ring another branch of the hotel and get them to confirm a door code. The person I spoke to there was dismissive despite me being quite upset and said ‘what did I expect at the weekend?’ I expect a hotel of this standard to be available 24/7 honestly and it feels like a safety issue to have no-one available for guests for more than 18 hours. No-one ever returned my calls or emails from Little Italy. This really ruined my last day due to the delay in getting got response. For this reason, as a solo female traveller, I would never stay here again as it is not worth the risk that something more serious could happen and there would be no one to help.

Loved the app and process for checking-in and out. The property itself could use some TLC, there were lots of scuff marks and scratches in the walls due to prior tenants. Our unit could have used a painting. There also wasn't a space to get extra toiletries per the app, would take this out if it's not really an option.
