“close to everything!!”
was clean, comfortable,close to everything and staff were friendly & helpful. would stay here again in future.
“it was allright.”
it was allright.
“must go!”
this hotel was clean, comfortable, had friendly and helpful staff! great location, taxi right out side, trams close by........
“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
“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.
“Will definitely go back!”
Hotelwas very clean, tidy and in a superb 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
