I was disappointed that our room did not look anything like that in your interactive pictures of the 1 bedroom Manhattan, we received room 436 which had no floor to ceiling windows and was a disabled access room, which I didn't mind as it had a larger bathroom, but they should have told us that upon check-in. Better rooms we... more

I stayed in one of their so called Manhattan style studio apartments for a few weeks. I found the hotel management dodgy, thuggish and stupid. They made me first to pay the bond of $1,000 after I saw the room and reserved it, making me unaware of exactly what kind of contract I was about to get into, as I... more

We stayed 1 night in a Manhattan apt. Lovely spotlessly clean room, very small bathroom and tiny shower. Ate at Chill restaurant, recommend the tasting plate, it was lovely and the staff were excellent. Tram to city was convenient but takes a while. Would definitely stay again. more

I chose to stay at Rydges on Bell for 2 nights whilst on business. As I wasn't working in the city, and my place of work was nearby, I'm glad I made the choice to stay here. Previously I had stayed on the outskirts of the city and the commute was a nightmare, so finding somewhere close was fantastic. I... more

We stayed for three nights while in Melbourne for a wedding. The rooms are nicely decorated and the breakfast was lovely. The bathrooms do not offer much privacy and you can hear everything going on in there :) This hotel would not be top of my list for a romantic getaway! Parking is also a bit of a squeeze and... more

I take note of your comments regarding the bathrooms, we do have many different configurations of rooms and I am sure we could accomodate a room suitable for a romantic getaway. We have many different parking options on site including a...

Stayed two nights in a single room with QS bed and kitchenette in Aug 09. Modern, fresh recently renovated hotel (12mths ago) with friendly helpful staff. Ate in Chill restaurant, food was excellent, mains ~$30, alcohol a little expensive. Not sure whether its BYO. Plenty of free parking and trams were close by to get into the city. Overall a... more

I stayed in the student facility for two weeks while completing my grad dip in melbourne. It was horrible. The room wasn't clean - there were dirt marks smeared across the walls, the air conditioner was repulsive, cockroaches were frequent, the window was chipped and the cupboards had stacks and stacks of fingerprints built up on them that obviously needed... more

Dear friend from Adelaide, I thank you for your honest review of the Le Student 8 facility. We do pride ourselves on offering a professional and clean environment for all our guests and on this occasion we have obviously failed to meet this expectation. I have shared your comments with the team as a good example of why it is...

I just recently stayed for one night at Rydges Bell City.

Having read some of the reviews I decided to add my two cents given that I stayed there as a long term resident for over 6 months. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my time there. It was excellent. The staff, were lovely, helpful, courteous and very professional including cleaners, porters, security and reception and maintenance etc. As with any long term... more

Dear Booglaboogla, It was great to get your feedback regarding your stay at Bell City. Yes early on there where teething problems but we have overcome the initial hiccups and now I agree we have a great product, facilities and service offering. It was a shame that the room size did not suit the purposes of your family visits however...
