Rydges in Middle Park from AU$194

"Always a lovely stay "

"Very goo"

"Very good position in the City. Very modern hotel, check in via machines or people. Room very nice, kettle & coffee machine. Can opt out of housekeeping to get credit at the bar. Pool very nice on floor 7. Lots of restaurants nearby. Had a drink in the Jin Bar - usual prices. Didn't have breakfast."

"Location was fabulous. Rooms comfortable and practical but location is the major positive factor. Staff attentive and friendly. "

"Great place to stay. "

"This hotel can't be beat for so many reasons but there are some unique features that you should be warned about. First, the good: The location is great. It is right downtown, walkable to everything and within steps of every type of public transportation, including a half block from the the Southern Cross hub that is the destination point for SkyBus, a direct line from and to Melbourne's airport. The staff was super approachable and helpful. It is clean and quiet. The breakfast was outstanding, providing many choices with an abundance of delicious food. Now about the quirks: as you walk through the glass entry doors on the ground floor, you'll find a well-appointed hallway with a sitting area . . . but no reception. Tiny signs tell you to go to the second floor using one of four elevators. Believe me, everyone misses the signs, they need big block letter signs directing you to the second floor. The bathrooms in each room are essentially smoked glass enclosures that provide no light or noise barrier. So if you don't mind a complete lack of privacy in the bathroom, the arrangement can work for you. . . . . but not for most people, including couples of over thirty years. Watch out for the elevators, they sometimes require you to use your key card to operate and not infrequently, you'll find yourself whizzing many floors past your room before you break the code. We highly recommend this hotel because the pluses far outweigh the minuses but beware of the quirks"
