Portsea place is central and close to Salamanca as well as CBD. It was a non contact check in, worked well as the phone support was helpful. I’d recommend a room on 1st floor as the area can be noisy on ground floor and basement. Also, next time I’d take. 1 bedroom apartment as the studio is a bit small.

Location: Movenpick is only 20m from Elizabeth St Mall and other main streets for your dining and shopping needs. It's also 3 mins walk to the Visiting Information Centre, less than 5 mins walk to Elizabeth St Pier and Brooke Street Pier. The City Interchange bus stops are in front of the hotel if you use public transport. Super convenient indeed. Room: I was upgraded to a Delux room with a king bed and a view of the CBD on the 13th floor. The room was spacious for me as a single person but may not be the same for a couple or a family with a small kid. The bathroom came with a shower and a small bathtub. No complaint about the bathtub as I’m small too but perhaps not ideal for tall people. I’m a side sleeper, so I appreciate the option of firm pillows they provided. And the blackout blind did a great job at letting me sleep in in the morning. Overall, clean and comfortable room and bed for me to relax. Staff: This is perhaps my most favourite aspect of this hotel. The staff were so friendly and kind to me. Big shout out to Richard who helped me check-in, organised the birthday treats and let me check out late! And other receptionists who always greeted and smiled at me in the morning and evening without failure, thank you. Never under-appreciate the power of smiling to make someone’s day! Finally thank you to Tesoro’s bartender/staff that made me the special drink for my birthday dinner! It’s yummy and now I want to know the recipe to make it at home 😉
