I love this place and I've stayed in many, many hotels on business trips over the years. it is effortlessly stylish and yet unpretentious. very helpful staff and in a great location. clean, reasonable and the restaurant serves great food. I know some people have issue with noise but this hotel is in a very popular spot with lots of... More

I've just spent 4 days in the Prince, rm 401 and wish I'd complained about the noise. I didn't realize so many had issues as well. Luckily I had a noise machine app on my phone due to babies back at home so it was just enough to drown it out. But the "machine noise " is very very loud,... More

We had flown all the way from the UK to stay here for our cousins wedding 26th November. The hotel was booked and from the hotel web site it looked and presented well. We were very excited. The reception was the usual trendy dimly lit affair with a nice bright restaurant adjacent. The bar with its glass wine cellar was... More

Our stay was ruined by the noise from the night club and street. It might have good bathroom products but then most places do. The darkness in the place makes one claustrophobic not to mention the smallness of the corridors and rooms. Breakfast is very limited and unfriendly staff especially the male waiter. The rates they charge are way over... More

From the very minute you enter The Prince, it's hard not to be impressed by the sense of style. The dim lobby, meandering hallways and minimalistic rooms could confuse an inebriated guest so make sure you remember which room you are in. Dining at circa. was excellent and well worth revisiting. However, the hotel was noisy late at night so... More

I live on the coast and travel to Melbourne regularly. Whenever I go I stay at The Prince as I have done for years. The rooms are gorgeous. I love the small details such as the Aurora bathroom products, the great minibar, the artwork, the lighting. Very cool. I also love having the best restaurant in Melbourne downstairs. Circa has...

The room was mixed - a bit boxed in and the energy of the room wasn't great. Having said that the bathroom and the toiletries were very good. Sleep quality was ok - bit of noise from furniture (no sure were this was from outside the room). Breakfast was great - although the waiter was not very friendly. Otherwise the... More

This was our second visit to The Prince and I still think it's a great spot. We booked a deluxe room this time (that's all that was available) and it was rather small although perfectly functional. I'd recommend getting a superior room if you can, especially if you prefer a bath to a shower. The hotel is great value and... More

Room: we had a good size room, nice decor, but need updating. There are knocks on wall corners and some visible stains. Built in furniture are also looking tired and need polishing. Noise: Every night we could hear a drumming noise of what it seems like a door that's not shut or old window that vibrates due to the wind.... More

I recently stayed at the Prince for the 5th time in the last couple of years and I was really surprised when I read the reviews from other travellers. It's by far my favourite hotel in Melbourne. I love the rooms, the new restaurant looks amazing and the food is great, breakfast is just delicious, rates include breakfast and internet... More
