3 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 June 2012 NEW

Stayed for three nights and had a comfortable stay. The hotel is more suited to business travellers or those who don't plan on spending much time within the hotel itself. The hotel isn't anything special as it is dated but its location is within walking distance to everything Melbourne offers, the beds are comfortable, the rooms clean and the staff... More

The Crowne Plaza in Melbourne is a very comfortable hotel to stay at and boarders the Yarra River. The rooms are very good and the in-house restaurant has a new excellent menu. The entrance to the hotel when arriving by car for the first time, is difficult to find, even with the assistance of a GPS. Overall a great place... More

Loved the location of this hotel. The bus stop was just in front of the hotel. We got a room overlooking the Yarra river and it was beautiful. We took nightly walks along the river. The rooms were a bit small but very clean and modern. There was a business center for internet access that was wonderful. Very well stocked... More

I booked the hotel with the mystery deal (wotif), paid 129$. The hotel was so out of date (/ancient)... The room was small , there was only one armchair (the second person had to use the office chair?!...) . The location is reasonable (although there are some showgirls club not far at all). If u want to spend you holiday... More

Stay 2 nights on biz. It is perhasp the best location in Melbourne. I got a river view room on 6 floor so i can watch the beauty and magnificient view of Yarra river and the Crowne casino, the only tram in Australia, and the very best streets of Melbourne.

Dear linhmc, We are really pleased that you liked our location on the river. This part of Melbourne is certainly becoming more popular due to the development of the South Wharf precinct. Thank you for your comments, and we hope that you visit us again next time you find yourself in Melbourne! Regards, Crowne Plaza Melbourne Management Team. More

We had planned 2 nights here pre cruise on the Dawn Princess and so the location within the city wasn't important to our selection, however the location and proximity to both easy transportation and also to be within such close proximity to the Yarra river and waterfront dining and bars was a very nice surprise. The hotel was an excellent... More

Stayed for a quick business trip. Nice spacious rooms, comfortable bed and dark rooms. (curtains that actually block out for sleep). Very quiet. Pre purchased 2 nights and had to cancel one...staff allowed mini bar, breakfast, valet and bar to be taken as a credit against the room charge which could not be refunded. A very nice, empathetic approach. Most... More

Was accompanying my husband on a 3 night business trip to Melbourne and we stayed at the Crowne Plaza Melbourne. We usually stay at the other end of town - which to be honest is my preferred location as most hotels in the central CBD are within easy walking distance to Melbourne's fantastic restaurants and shops. That said, the Crowne... More
