I originally reserved a hotel room but upon arrival was upgraded to a larger studio room. This was great as meant i could pop to the nearby Coles supermarket to get some provisions for breakfast rather than eating in the hotel restaurant or outside. The room was modern and very clean and the shower was high powered and hot at... More

Sare, secure, good location, helpful staff, reasonably priced breakfast. Room spotless if small, and very well equipped. Rooms unbelievably quiet, we thought the hotel was empty but when commenting at reception were told that they were almost full. Breakfast very reasonably priced and good quality. Would recommend without hesitation More

Have stayed here on three occasions now for both business and pleasure. Rooms are small but spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The staff are warm and very knowledgeable about the area. Free hot choc and coffee 24 /7 is really good on those cold Melbourne nights. Only ate breakfast in the restaurant but it was really delicious and very quick... More

We (couple) stayed 3 nights in one of the Studio apartments (3rd floor) in January 2012. The apartment was very clean and spacious enough for 2 adults. It was very quite and included every thing what you might need (TV, kitchenette, iron etc.). The location is great, close to Airport bus terminal (SkyBus), car rentals and shops. Breakfast was included... More

And everything from arrival onwards was positive! The staff are cheerful and helpful without exception. The room was very clean, modern and comfortable with... More

Sustainability and the hotel industry are uneasy bedfellows, but the Alto does it well. The hotel should be applauded for committing to the sustainability initiatives that it has used since its inception, including having wind turbines on the roof, double glazed windows installed, having low-flow shower heads and reducing the use of packaging. The breakfast is especially well done -... More
