My partner and i are frequent travellers to Melbourne and we usually stay at the Sofitel hotel which is superb (but not as central). This hotel's location however, just amazes me everytime i step outside to find the wide array of shops, cafes and walkways connecting to other malls behind. The rooms are of a four star quality with comfortable... more

This hotel is thankfully undergoing a refurbishment. It is in a good location, but dull dull dull. Walls are scratched and white or grey, and it looks dated. The bathroom especially. It is centrally lcoated though on Collins, and in the middle of a shopping centre (thats what my room looked over). Therefore its easy to get around. Rooms are... more

After a LONG day at the Melbourne Show we checked into the Novotel on Collins. The staff at the concierge desk when we arrived were welcoming and efficient. Check in was a breeze and to our delight we were upgraded to a large family room which had a separate room for the children. Our eldest daugthter had a flight to... more

My first impression of the hotel was disappointing, then I realised I wasn't at reception, I was at the lower floor concierge! Further impressions were much more positive. Check in was easy, although the receptionist wasn't too impressed that I'd stopped her conversation with a friend. I had a room on the top floor, noise in the corridor from heating... more

I wanted to highlight a very average experience I had staying in the Novotel in Melbourne. I was lucky enough to go away with my girlfriend on a business trip to Melbourne. Her company paid for the hotel, so I just bought a flight and booked another hotel (The Park Hyatt see separate review) for the weekend. We stayed at... more

We chose the Novotel because it offered a disabled access room. Our 14 year old son a broken hip and was in a wheelchair for our stay. We were down for scans and doctors visit and it is difficult to find a hotel that caters for disabled access. From the minute we pulled up, we were met by extremely helpul... more

As others have commented, the location of this hotel is ideal – right in the centre of the shopping area and at the start of the malls running through the centre city. It’s very close to Federation Square and access to City Circle tram. And there’s a taxi rank right outside. Service was pleasant and it was thoughtful of the... more

We stayed at the novotel Melbourne on Collins for a weekend in the city just for 1 night in June. My wife wanted to check out the Melbourne shopping so chose it based on it's location, and it was in a very good spot to explore Collins St, but also well within walking distance of the Bourke St Mall and... more

The hotel is located on Melbourne's door step. This is our fourth stay in this hotel.... Rooms are modern, spacious and clean. TV a little small - more like a computer monitor. Bathroom average - Bath/Shower combo! One lift operating from street level to hotel reception. The hotel is currently being upgraded and refurbished, not sure if this is mentioned... more
