Small rooms, not like in the pictures was a bit disappointed with it although it was very centrally located being walking distance to everything. 5 min walk to Theatre and Shops. Excellent Location! Thai Restaurant next door has the best chips I've ever had! more

My husband and I stayed at the victoria hotel sat 21st Nov, and we wer very impressed. The location is perfect. We stayed in the heritage block, and our room although facing other windows was airy,roomy and spotlessly clean. The bathroom was roomy and ample hot water. The mattress and bedding were clean crisp and comfortable. In the morning we... more

Yes, the location is great, and the price is attractive for the location. But here is the deal to explain the price: all the rooms facing inside are blind, and all the rooms facing the street have their windows sealed. As a result, the air is NEVER recycled, even in the smoking rooms, and is stale and dusty. The air... more

Thank you for your feedback regarding your recent stay at The Victoria Hotel. In regards to the comments about the windows and views, we are a 3 star hotel in the middle of the city and you will find that only the 5 star hotels offer views of Melbourne. The Victoria Hotel is 129 years old and I am sure...

Having read the reviews I was a little nervous about our stay, but it had been booked by someone who had been many times. Turns out there was nothing to fear! We stayed in the upgraded Heritage rooms, which for the price were fabulous. Yes, there was a little walk to the rooms, but providing you can read numbers and... more

We stayed there for just one night last year for a weekend trip. It was in the heart of the city. The building was quite old (in a nice way) but at the time we were there the room were frankly a bit dingy (I'm sure they've improved though according to the owner's response to other reviews). As many people... more

I have to admit, when my mother and I walked into this grand old dame of a hotel... we were worried.. It was clearly in need of a spruce up... However, our room was one of the rooms that has been re-furbished and we were quite pleased with it. It was modern and very clean. Service experienced by hotel staff... more

Despite the good location of this hotel, I have not stayed in a worse hotel for this sort of price. The corridors remind you of a hostel and the rooms are very basic. Most frustrating is the deliveries every week day morning that commence at 7am. Every day we stayed here we were awoken by the sound of crushing bottles... more

Thank you for your feedback. Sorry you feel the hotel is a mess, but this grand old lady is in the midst of a major renovation. By the end of 2009 over half of the hotel will have new rooms, plumbing, ducted air conditioning and furnishings. You can see these new rooms on our website and you can also book...

Wished i'd paid more attn to other reviewers before staying @ Victoria Hotel. I would NOT recommend this place unless you really have to save money. Location IS good, price via US agent was okay, but quality was pretty low. DEFINITELY get upgraded room, i.e. recently refurbished, although that means some stuff is installed upside down or not at all.... more

Staying at the Victoria Hotel was awful, we spent as little time as possible in the hotel as the filth, dirt and down right neglect was discusting, regardless of whether management say they are undergoing renovations, it is unacceptable to take hard earned money from customers, it was terrible. The bed heads were filthy, the corridors stunk of cigarettes. We... more
