Rooms are clean, smart, simple and quiet. Having some plates and cutlery is a really useful touch and wireless internet worked really well. Staff seems very friendly and helpful.

The room was quite small and stylishly appointed. Room furnishings... more

The Alto on Bourke is a great value for money hotel given its central location and quality. We stayed in a 1 bedroom apartment that was a good size. Disliked: I found the bed too springy for my liking, and the pillows too soft. The room where the bed is was also a tad pokey. Liked: the room is whisper... more

I really thoroughly enjoyed the Alto. I stayed for seven days. I'm a 27 year old single female traveller. I found the staff excellent, the room was great, modern, nothing too splash but had all I needed - nice desk, flat screen tv, etc. Best part was the included breakfast, it's really lovely. Any kind of coffee, fresh fruit buffet... more
