Hotels With bar in Victoria, Australia

I arrived at late check-in time on 2/11 Sunday and Mildua Inlander's staff was after office hour so I contacted to staff for room check-in by phone call, Staff are so helpful to help me to collect the room key and required admin work. However, due to the resort's layout and my room location(my room is ROOM 90), the circulation of the hotel is not poor, poor room ordering(it is not by 101 for on 1/F like typical hotel, it is using 1-50 for G/F, 51-100 for level 1; if 101-110 for block 1, 121-129 for block 2, 131-139 for block 3, 141-150 for block 4 would be better), no coherent corridor at the end, not much signage and map/easy to miss, no Lift or easy ramp for level 1. so, it is hard to find my room and poor experience before entry the room. Room is good for me. One thing is: can consider to have openable window after the mosquito net on the balcony sliding door if I don't want to turn on the air-conditioner.

We had a great stay at Balgownie. Staff were always friendly and helpful. Room was beautiful and spacious. We enjoyed the food and definitely recommend eating dinner here and wine tasting during your stay.

I booked a king-sized room, and both the space and the bed were quite large. Honestly, a standard-sized room probably would have been enough. The hotel has been recently renovated, so it still looks pretty new. The location is listed as Chinatown, but the nearest tram stops are about a 6-minute walk away. Thankfully, Melbourne's city center is quite compact. The room temperature can be adjusted freely. I'm not sure if there were disposable slippers – I've forgotten. We had two people staying, but they only provided one set of toothbrushes and amenities daily, so I was glad I'd brought my own. There's a small fridge with a complimentary carton of milk inside, but it didn't come with a straw. Things that brought down the score: One night, around 9 PM, the fire alarm went off. Everyone rushed downstairs, only to be told it was a false alarm. As we were halfway back up, it started ringing again, another false alarm. And then there's the noise. The king rooms face the street, and the noise mainly came from modified cars driven by 'ghost riders' all night, and then various emergency vehicles starting from 6 or 7 AM. If you've ever been to Thailand, the constant roar of motorcycles on the street is exactly what it was like. I even took two videos so you could get a feel for it, and those weren't even the loudest moments, just the mildest sounds. It felt like I was sleeping on the street. I don't think the hotel needs renovation; what it really needs is soundproof windows, otherwise, it's not suitable for a comfortable stay.

Exceeded my expectations! Although the location isn't the most convenient and it's a bit far from the city, the environment is absolutely wonderful, and I really loved the room. Breakfast was also quite good. All in all, this place is truly excellent.

Room size is a bit small & the room allocated to us is having problem with hot water shower. However, the hotel is kind enough to provide another room for us to shower.

I booked two hotels on the Southbank of the Yarra River this time. First, let's talk about Crown Towers, which is located on the western side. My first impression was its luxury. It's connected to a casino and surrounded by high-end luxury stores, with a grand lobby. My second impression was how friendly it is to Chinese guests; all the elevator buttons have both Chinese and English annotations, and there were many festive elements for Chinese New Year. The room faced the Yarra River, offering a nice view, and there were various restaurants downstairs, making dining convenient. Walking west from the hotel, away from the bustling Flinders Street Station, I experienced the quiet and less crowded Yarra River after an evening rain. It was then that I truly understood why Melbourne has been repeatedly voted the world's most livable city. It was a refreshing and comfortable feeling that made me exclaim, 'Life can truly be this wonderful!' If you have ample time, I highly recommend staying a night by the Yarra River. I suggest booking a hotel on the western side; though the location might be slightly more secluded, it offers a convenient way to experience the Yarra River away from the city's hustle and bustle. Like Sydney's Crown Towers, Melbourne's Crown Towers is also lively and a bit flamboyant. This doesn't quite align with the quiet and understated elegance typically associated with luxury hotels, but perhaps that's why its high price offers good value for money. The pool was crowded in the evening but wonderfully empty in the morning for a great swim. Additionally, it's very close to DFO South Wharf (Melbourne's largest outlet mall). We didn't know this at the time and ended up taking a taxi from our subsequent hotel near the University of Melbourne. If we had known, it would have been much more convenient to just stroll over from here.

I had an unexpected allergy to cat dander at a friend's place during my trip to Melbourne, so I booked this hotel very last minute. To my surprise, the overall experience was much better than I expected. The hotel's location is right in the heart of Melbourne. Stepping out, you're immediately in Chinatown, surrounded by Asian supermarkets, a variety of Chinese restaurants, major domestic bubble tea brands, and even the city's largest department store with many famous brands. There's even an Arc'teryx store right across from the hotel, which was a pleasant surprise! Transportation is super convenient too. Just a short walk from the hotel, you'll find tram and bus stops. Since I booked it at a low price and found this hotel in a hurry, I initially thought I'd just make do, but it was genuinely a pleasant surprise. The hotel lobby's fragrance is on par with five-star hotels. The front desk even has a self check-in machine, which is quite convenient. You can also request an extra key card to keep the power on or for a companion. This was really great for an introvert like me! 😂 You need to swipe your card to access each floor, so safety is also good. The room isn't huge, but it's fair for the price. The cleanliness was also good; the toilet and bathroom were surprisingly spotless. The only minor drawback is that if you turn on the air conditioning at night, it can be noisy, and the soundproofing from the hallway isn't great either. Overall, the value for money is good. It's very suitable for those who don't demand perfect accommodation but prioritize convenient travel and easy access to Chinese food.

The hotel is one of Australia's top 100 golf courses. It's very new. The rooms are big and the beds are very comfortable. The stadium has a supporting restaurant. Friends who go to Geelong can stay there.

The best thing of this hotel is providing free pick up and drop off from and to the airport. Coming from overseas without Aussie phone no is not a problem. Just go to the information counter and tell the staff about the free pick up service and they will help to call and then will tell you where to wait.  The waiting area is very near to the information counter and easy to find.

We stayed at York on Lilydale because we were there for a gig. We were very surprised by how nice the room was. Beautiful view, comfortable bed and the spa was luxurious. One of the nicest hotels I’ve ever stayed at. If I didn’t have to work I’d have stayed another night.
