The Interlude

可能好多墨爾本人都不知道的一個酒店，在舊監獄改造而來，酒店還提供了游泳池，也可以參觀一下監獄之前的一些舊房間。酒店斜對面的一家意大利餐廳，味道不錯

I have mixed feelings about this property. We wanted something special for a significant anniversary. Thought staying at Pentridge might be it. We booked the Interlude Suite, loved the atmosphere. Room was made up of 4 old cells and this was great. However, there were things that irked. Great coffee machine but nowhere to heat the milk to put in your coffee. Not sure if we just couldn’t figure it out, but we didn’t seem to be able to isolate the lightning i.e. when the light was on in the lounge area it was also on in the bedroom. Not great for someone going to bed earlier. On the first morning the shower totally flooded the bathroom and went down onto the carpet. We were offered another room but couldn’t be bothered moving and it was fixed after we reported it. Be aware you need to climb over your partner to get in/out of bed. No walking space around bed. Decor looked good but somehow not really functional. For breakfast we had eggs benedict and poached eggs. The eggs were hard not runny. The wait person did say she would have changed for us. Next morning pancakes were delicious. Pool fantastic. Staff great. Parking good. Transport close.

We book in to the Adina hotel in Pentridge Melbourne got a phone call from the reservation team giving us a free upgrade there are 4 cells to a suite and good for those who want to get what it’s like to have a cell experience definitely recommend to any traveler

Great concept and the rooms are well done, some staff were ok but check in staff are shared between Adina and Interlude, they weren't helpful or knowledgeable. More than once when we asked questions, we were sent to someone else who then also may not have answers. Biggest disappointment was some things are very different to what's advertised. We were looking forward to enjoying time in the well-advertised Olivine Wine Bar, well too bad, despite it being advertised as a highlight and open 7 days a week (opening days have changed since we were there, not before) it wasn't open. Interlude had no food or drinks available for the evening we stayed. We had to leave Interlude and go to the fast-food outlets in the external complex. We could exit Interlude and access the fast-food outlets from an internal complex door but to re-enter Interlude we weren't able to use the same door. Apparently for security reasons, so we had to exit the complex and walk back via dimly lit foot paths. Clearly the security being considered when this decision was made was not the security of paying guests. The pool was advertised as exclusive to Interlude guests and 35 degrees, it was not exclusive, no private time as advertised and speaking with another person there he'd measured the water temp as 27 degrees. It was cold. Breakfast was very good, great service and good food. All in all, a great concept very poorly executed and very little concern for providing what is advertised to the paying guest.

My husband and I just stayed in this amazing hotel! The room was 4 old prison cells combined into a beautiful and slightly quirky room. This is no ordinary accommodation, and I’ve stayed in many! We went to the Olivine wine bar and dined in a pre-booked booth. The atmosphere was lovely, and if you were to go here I’d recommend the booths. However, the prices for drinks and bar food was very expensive. We had one drink here and then headed to the Brewery on site. This was still a bit pricey, but a lot better. One of the highlights of our stay was the underground pool. We had it to ourselves (by luck) and the ambiance was beautiful. I strongly recommend staying at The Interlude

This place is so beautiful it’s difficult to comprehend the history of what was once one of Australia’s most notorious prisons as it’s now been fully renovated into this amazing hotel. Everything about it so aesthetically pleasing. The converted cells that are now suites with all the mod cons. The basement now an incredible pool along with common areas becoming a fabulous wine bars with old cells now booths to have an intimate dining experience. The staff are wonderfull. Big shout of to the lovely Maddi who was our designated host, and also hosted an additional add on called Place of Time, were you sit outside in the old exercise yard and sip red wine, eat yummy cheeses whilst she goes through the history of the prison and the surrounding areas. Food was delicious in the wine bar and cocktails yummy. We had a bit of an accidental overcharge but Natasha on the front desk sorted everything out admirably and promptly. The staff are all so friendly and appear to genuinely love their jobs. We’d definitely love the chance to come back soon. Thank you.
