4-Sterne-Hotels in Victoria, Australien

This was my 9th visit to Naarm in the course of over twenty years. Came from Singapore for a Pierce the Veil gig, tattoos, and to skateboard. I was stoked to see that Lyf is now on Elizabeth St. It’s another great area! So close to Queen Vic too! Having read the other reviews before my stay, I can say those reviews did not do the place justice at all. So here’s my take! - Someone mentioned that the room was small. It is not! I have been to many hotels/hostels abroad and this room was huge for its standard/star rating, and price. The bathroom is fairly big too. Whoever thinks this hotel has small rooms, have got to have their eyes checked. - Another review said rooms were not clean. And that the fridge was dirty. I found it good. Sheets and pillows were clean. Towels and bathroom mat was good too. Carpeting was alright. Bathroom sink, mirror and shower did not have marks, or mold. Glasses was clean. Wardrobe too. Fridge was pretty spotless! Could put my dips, cheeses and olives there. Perhaps my only “complaint” was that the AC unit was a bit dusty. And it took me awhile to figure out how to lower it to 18 degrees. - Someone say that there was not enough space to put toiletries in the bathroom. I am not sure if this person has an entire suitcase of toiletries but that was ample space at the sink, and even more space in the shower. You could line ten face wash in there if you wanted to. In addition, the shampoo, shower gel and conditioner smelled good too. And they provided separate ones instead of a 3-in-1. - Someone mentioned that the hotel did not have a kettle or cups in their rooms. And that water (hot or cold) needed to be collected from Level 1. I came prepared and brought a cup and spoon for my instant soups. It was not inconvenient at all, and the lounge area was nice! - One of the reviews mentioned that there were some flies at the sink area of the lounge. I blame this on lazy guests who expected others to clean up after them. Other than the sink, the lounge area was great with ample cutlery, and homeware provided. Size of the area was pretty decent too! - Security. I absolutely love the security of the hotel, that requires a guest to tap their card, even before they enter the building. They also have a card system that works on an app on your phone. Very cool! - Lyf staff were absolutely lovely! - Someone mentioned that they didn’t like how there was no daily housekeeping. As a guest with minimal litter and requiring minimal to no cleaning, I found this absolutely fine. In fact, I was prepared not to have housekeeping at all; I was fine make my own bed, and empty my own trash, if it got too much. So I was surprised to find that my room had been cleaned on the morning of my 6th night there. They even placed my plushie back nicely on the bed. How lovely! To reciprocate, I left the room almost spotless when I checked out. Even folded the loo roll into a triangle. - A review mentioned that the hotel was noisy and that their room didn’t have a good view, as there was construction going on. Having asked for a quiet room, I received one away from the lift. I heard absolutely no construction work going on at all throughout my 7-night stay. The view of my room overlooked the courtyard of the hotel. It was non-claustrophobic and there was ample sunlight, should you wish to draw the curtains. Windows were high and wide. Clearly not small and dark the way others have described. - A couple of reviews mentioned that the rooms were dark and gloomy. Because of them, I was anticipating a very dimmed and dark room, so was pleasantly surprised to find out that I could see! Conclusion: As someone who used to recce hotels for performing artists as part of tour management/logistics, Lyf at Elizabeth St ticks all the boxes of a great stay – accommodating with good facilities, cleanliness, and fun and happy staff. Was such a great stay and my only regret was not doing a two-week trip this time round. Will definitely be back!

The hotel carpet smells, the building is old and needs a total replacement of carpet. When we entered our room. It smells like bleach everywhere. We have to open the window to make it go away. The room is decent size and the toilet and bath are separated where there are no hand basin to use after using the toilet if someone is using the shower or bath tub. The view from our balcony is magnificent, the Melbourne tall buildings skyline. I also love the location because it is near public transport, free tram and shops, even universities. The kitchen are complete with cooking utensils and pans. They got free coffee, tea and milk. The toiletries were given 1 set of tiny bottles but we are 4 people booked in.

Großes Flughafenhotel mit bequem Zugang zum Flughafen Melbourne. Ich habe dieses Hotel für meinen Boss und ihr Kind reserviert, und sie waren sehr zufrieden mit ihrem Aufenthalt. Das Zimmer war sauber, komfortabel und ruhig trotz der Nähe zum Flughafen. Die Annehmlichkeiten waren freundlich und hilfsbereit, die Einrichtungen wurden gut gepflegt. Eine gute Wahl für Familien und Reisende, die einen komfortablen Aufenthalt in der Nähe des Flughafens suchen.

Perfect stay. They reached out beforehand to check in with me. Arrived early and they allowed an early check in with a free upgrade. Room was spotless and well equipped. Kitchenette with all the equipment you'd need, small washing machine, free Netflix and impressive little touches like a free bottle of wine if you solve their Rubik's cube and a free packet of popcorn on request. Lounge is well equipped and breakfast was good (eggs, sausages, bacon, mushrooms, tomatoes, beans, some pastries and yoghurts, a waffle maker, juices, coffee and teas, etc.). Staff were always friendly. An excellent stay overall!

Unfortunately, my experience at Novotel Melbourne Central was quite disappointing, especially considering that I had a very positive experience at Novotel Sydney, where my daughter and I were treated with great kindness and hospitality. I had an issue with the breakfast arrangement that was handled in a very uncomfortable and embarrassing way. At check-in, I specifically asked to add breakfast for the three days of our stay. I explained that I am an ALL – Accor Live Limitless member and that I had received an email stating that ALL members would receive a discount on breakfast. The receptionist confirmed the benefit and also told me that my 11-year-old daughter would not be charged. I was informed that the total cost for breakfast for the three days would be AUD 56. I paid the amount at check-in and, naturally, assumed everything had been correctly arranged. However, the following morning, when we went to breakfast, the staff member told me that breakfast was not included in my reservation. I explained that I had specifically added it during check-in and showed him the payment receipt from my card. Instead of simply checking the situation and resolving what was clearly a possible system or communication error, I was repeatedly questioned: who had checked me in, when I had become an ALL member, and whether I had any proof that breakfast had been added. The whole situation was extremely uncomfortable and embarrassing. I had done exactly what was required at check-in, had paid for the breakfast, and had proof of the payment. Nevertheless, I felt as though my word was being questioned. I explained that I would make a complaint. The staff member then reluctantly took down my room number and directed us to a table next to the service area, despite there being several vacant tables in the main dining area. This made the situation even more unpleasant. I understand that mistakes can happen, particularly if there is an issue with the hotel system or communication between staff members. What I found unacceptable was the way the situation was handled. It gave me the impression that the staff may not have received adequate training on how to deal with guests when an operational error occurs. The appropriate approach would have been to acknowledge the possibility of a mistake, verify the payment and resolve the issue discreetly and courteously, rather than making the guest feel embarrassed or disbelieved. Unfortunately, I also experienced problems with the cleanliness of the room. The bed was poorly made, the toilet and sink were clearly not properly cleaned, and a cup had been placed wet on the tray. These details contributed significantly to my overall negative impression of the hotel. This was particularly disappointing because our experience at Novotel Sydney was excellent. We were welcomed warmly, treated very well and felt genuinely looked after throughout our stay. Unfortunately, our experience in Melbourne was very different. I hope the hotel management will take this feedback seriously, particularly regarding staff training, guest communication and housekeeping standards. The issue could have been handled very differently and would have avoided turning a simple operational mistake into an unpleasant and embarrassing experience.

Das ist ein sehr schönes Resort. Das Innenraum ist sehr sauber und groß. Bett ist komfortabel und Toilette ist gut mit Jacuzzi. Sie werden Kangaroos und Cockatoos am Morgen und am Abend außerhalb der Wohnung sehen. Meine Kinder genießen den Aufenthalt sehr. Jedoch müssen Sie entweder Ihre eigenen Mahlzeiten kochen oder fahren zum Essen. Die Fahrt ist etwa 15 Minuten.

Die Lage ist top! Die Straßenbahn hält direkt vor der Tür und die meisten Sehenswürdigkeiten sind zu Fuß erreichbar. Während der Osterfeiertage hatten zwar alle lokalen Geschäfte und Restaurants geschlossen, aber das war kein Problem, da wir direkt neben Chinatown wohnten! Die fleißigen Chinesen hatten alle geöffnet, wofür wir super dankbar sind, sonst wären wir wirklich verhungert! Die Zimmerausstattung ist auch sehr gut, die Küche ist komplett ausgestattet. Sehr zufrieden.

Perfect location and an excellent place to stay. The hotel facilities are practically brand new, and both the reception staff and housekeeping team were friendly and professional throughout my stay. I stayed for more than a week and thoroughly enjoyed my time at this serviced apartment. The rooms were comfortable, well maintained, and had everything I needed. I would happily stay here again and would recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Lage: Der Bereich Box Hill, in dem sich das Hotel befindet, ist ein Treffpunkt für Chinesen, sodass Sie vollständig in das häusliche Leben eintauchen können. Das Hotel liegt am U-Bahn-Eingang von Box Hill. Es ist sehr bequem, auszugehen und man kann rund um das Hotel viele Supermärkte sowie viele chinesische Restaurants und chinesische Supermärkte erreichen. Ausstattung: Das Zimmer verfügt über zwei Schlafzimmer und zwei Badezimmer, auch die Ausstattung ist sehr neu. Erwähnenswert ist, dass es sich bei dem Herd tatsächlich um Erdgas handelt, das sich sehr gut zum Kochen chinesischer Speisen eignet. Ausgestattet mit einer kompletten Waschmaschine, Trockner, Küchenutensilien und Toilettenartikeln. Das Zimmer, in dem wir wohnten, lag auf einer oberen Etage und hatte eine sehr gute Aussicht. Obwohl es während meines Aufenthalts in Melbourne windig war, war der Lärm akzeptabel, nachdem ich die Ritzen in der Tür mit einem nassen Handtuch verschlossen hatte. Das Zimmer verfügt über einen Balkon und Fenster, die für gute Belüftung und Beleuchtung sorgen. Service: Ehrlich gesagt handelt es sich bei dem Hotel um eine Apartmentresidenz. Es gibt keinen sogenannten Rezeptionsservice und auch die Öffnungs- und Schließzeiten der Rezeption sind sehr genau. Dadurch konnte ich die Rezeption nachts nicht erreichen, sodass ich keinen besseren Service erwartet habe. Insgesamt ist das Hotel sehr kostengünstig und eignet sich besonders für Familien, da es über zwei Schlafzimmer verfügt. Allerdings liegt das Hotel weit von der Stadt entfernt. Die Fahrt mit der U-Bahn dorthin ist sehr durchschnittlich, sodass Geschäftsreisen etwas unbequem sein werden.

We booked a King Standard hotel for this trip as we have the special rate from Trip.com. Before we arrived we received an email from Trip urging us to write an email to ask for early check in as we also booked an airline ticket thru Trip. When arrived in hotel ard 9.45 am we were offered a room ( with immediate availability ) but with a payment of AUD 50. When I asked for a twin bed room as usually King and Twin Bed will have same rate, but not this hotel. If we were to change the bed style we have to pay AUD 30/night for 5 nights 😅😅another AUD 150. Enough for all the morning communications so we just ignore the bed details and went straight to our room after the payment. On the day we checked out we came to know that the front officer recharged our hotel fee even when Trip.com confirmed that everything was fully paid. What a money maker hotel!! Front officer told us they will refund us the amount though. However the room is small and nice and everything was up to international 4 standard but Crown Casino Tower has a much more beautiful and bigger room. Though both have stunning nice view of the Yarra River as in attached.
