I stayed at the Albany for 3 nights just prior to Christmas. It's in a great location, just opposite the Botanical Gardens, and near tram stops on Domain and Toorak road which both go straight into town. There are some great cafes and other local amenities nearby. It has quirky pictures like the ceiling high one of Mick Jagger in... more

I'm a travelling musician and have stayed at The Albany on three occasions, each time when on tour in Melbourne. <p> My first two stays were very pleasant, but my latest trip (at the start of June) left me feeling a little jaded and disappointed, particularly as I was starting to feel some loyalty to this hotel (I'd even had... more

I had a need to travel down to Melbourne recently and my wife made all of my booking arrangements for me. She booked me into this place because it was near where i needed to be. If you are use to fancy atriums and large spaces then this is not the place for you. Adjectives that come to mind are... more

Dear “jrisles”, Thank you so much for taking the time to review our hotel. Our Superior rooms are great value for money, with all of things you expect from a small hotel. You are right we do have a number of larger rooms as well as some fully refurbished rooms. We are making lots of positive changes to benefit our...

I spent 4 nights in the Bloomfield Hotel/Albany Motor Lodge because my company’s travel organizers could not get a room for 4 nights in our usual hotels because of the Tiger Woods phenomenon that swept into Melbourne during the week of the 9th of November. I was told that I was booked into a “boutique hotel”. I think the term... more

Dear “PerthFrequent_Flyer”, Thanks for taking the time to write a review on Trip Advisor. I am sorry to hear you had shower problems during your stay, as a regular traveler myself I understand the importance of a good shower. The response to you over your shower problems by our front desk team was totally inadequate, definitely not the kind of...

I came into travel advisor wanting to warn off fellow travellers from getting shammed by this so called "hip & quicky hotel" just because they've a nice & pretty website. Now after reading all the negative reviews here, I wished i had read them BEFORE booking. First off, the hotel is NOTHING like the nice photos you see on the... more

Dear “Pav54”, Thanks for taking the time to review our hotel. I am sorry to hear you were unhappy with your stay. At present our standard rooms have had only a minor face lift, hence we have our best rates attached. In relation to our laundry bags being seen in the hotel at 3pm, October is one of the hotels...

OK, I'm going to get this off my chest right at the outset: the motel type rooms really are a bit of a shock! The website pics certainly show them in a VERY favourable light, which is not matched by the reality. The room in practice is more than adequate (who spends extra time in their motel room in Melbourne... more

Dear “balhannah”, Thanks for taking the time to review our hotel on Trip Advisor. I always appreciate feedback as it can help us improve certain areas of the hotel. We have recently undergone renovations on over half of the hotel, and are always looking to improve the rooms that have not yet been renovated. The hotel is privately owned; my...

We had a seven night stay at this great hotel in South Yarra. We found the rooms very clean and exceptionally comfortable and the staff welcoming and friendly. The hotel is very close to trams and restaurants and is only a quick trip from the city. It is situated in a very quiet street and has a beautiful park across... more

We felt a little fooled by 'cool' marketing on-line after we worked out the difference between The Bloomfield and The Albany. Obviously they use the Bloomfield to lure people. First we thought the price was good for the look & location, until we arrived and realised the old adage is always true "you get what you pay for". Our disappointment... more

Dear “ LGFVictoria”, ”, Thank you for your review. I am sorry to hear you felt fooled by our marketing. The Albany offers a number of different room types from our ‘Original soon to be renovated Standard’ to our newly renovated ‘Deluxe room’. Our aim with the website is to be clear about each of our room types, ensuring guests...

I had read the negative reviews here before proceeding to book for several nights anyway, mainly because of the location (close to the conference I was attending and very accessible relative to the city) and special that was on offer. A few days before D-day I was starting to have cold feet. But by time my feet had turned ice... more
