“Convenient location”

Hotel went through a renovation, so the room is modern and really look like the pictures presented on web site. Bathroom is a bit dated yet still clean. Room size is fairly large and location is convenient.

“Centrally Located, Reasonably Priced”

The Mercure on Swanston is ideally located for those who want to spend time enjoying the city environment. It is right in the Chinese district, several blocks from Federation Square, the Arts Centre and South Bank. A 10 minute tram ride will get you to the Melbourne Museum and Exhibition buildings

Area recommendations
South Bank, with the proximity to Federation Square and the Arts Centre/s

“Best Location”

Although my room could use some updating, the location was absolutely brilliant. Being so close to shops and restaurants was very convenient. I found that I could walk to everywhere I needed to go. The hotel restaurant was quite good as well.

“Great Accommodation in the Heart of the City”

On a recent trip to Melbourne we stayed at this hotel. The location was fantastic - right in the heart of the city. We arrived at 11am and were granted early check-in. Our room was on the 9th floor looking straight out into the city and bustling Swanston St below. We had a separate lounge area, bedroom & bathroom and we'd only booked a basic room. We were also granted a late check out the following day for no extra charge. I would highly recommend this hotel (as we already have to our friends) and will definitely be staying here again on our next visit to Melbourne.

“Prime location”

Not a bad hotel for 1 or 2 nights, perfect location right in the heart of Melbourne. But unfortunately being right in the heart of Melbourne meant it was rather noisy, even on the upper floors. I'd stay here again for the convenience of the location.

“Satisfied but probably wont be back”

The pool was not as impressive as it seemed in pics and that was one of the main reasons we chose this hotel over others -so a little disappointed. Loud at night -people bussing all day and night Customer service rated 5/5 -very attentive and friendly Now realised that swanston st is like george st in sydney. much better to stay somewhere more quiet and nice unless you like that kind of environment -close to woolworths and designer stores standard of hotel room okay. bathroom was tidy although the tub had chips in it and starting to fall into pieces the carpet was really gross and stained the cupboard was broken and had not been fixed but beds were clean and quite comfy

Area recommendations
St Kilda, Docklands for more quiet and relaxed environment
Must see
St kilda shops, beach, cafe and night clubs -we discovered the place on the last day and was very sad we couldnt spend more time there rather than main city
Dining
not match bar and grill! we went there as they had good reviews but they served me squid that was not very tasteful and the serving size was a smaller than the bottom of a cup spaghetti my friend ordered was spicy and had oil soaked on the bottom my other friend's burger was raw and they did not follow orders and put pickles and onion overall -bad quality and service for overpriced food! really recommend melbourne central bar! in shopping centre off la trobe street. very nice food!
