Official Description (provided by the hotel):: Set on South Yarra’s most picturesque streets, nestled between beautiful Fawkner Park and the Royal Botanic Gardens is a historically eccentric boutique hotel waiting to excite you. Perfectly placed on the doorstep to famous Chapel Street, the CBD and the MCG you’ll be torn between wanting to explore the quirks and grooviness of The Albany and getting around to all the hotspots Toorak is renowned for. Shabby chic meets rock star glam and a bit of French boarding house with refreshingly good service is just a hint of what to expect before stepping foot through the Manhattanesque front entrance. Uber comfortable beds, black and white mural posters plus bursts of red and lime will turn an average sleepover in Toorak to a fun and fashionable stay whether you’re turning in after a night out on the town with friends or here for business. Of course, you can expect all the necessities a boutique hotel has to offer as well as all the extras including delicious breakfast, on-site parking, fantastic value for money, and yes… you can bring your furry friend with you too! ... more less

“Good for money”

Reviewed 16 May 2013 NEW

Nice looking hôtel, located close to the Royal Botanic garden of Melbourne. Staff friendly, good beds confortable. Rooms wide enough, bathroom Ok. Not great standing but really good at affordable cost. Tramways and bus stop just a short stroll from there. Very convenient. Breakfast not included too expensive for quality. Better walk until LOUIE café, at the corner left of... More

“Good location, comfortable stay”

Reviewed 13 May 2013 NEW

Booked a 1 night stay here. This doesn't feel like a typical motel, it's more like a small hotel. The ladies at the reception were warm and welcoming. I was given a room on the 2nd floor which was easily accessible by a small elevator (with a strong smell of fresh paint, but that's just a trivial issue). The room... More

“Budget value and comfort.”

Reviewed 4 May 2013

Excellent value for money when booked through a hotel discounts website. My room was rather old-quaint but it had everything I needed and more. The bed was very comfortable. The old shower over a deep bath could be a difficulty for some and some care is needed to get in and out, but the water pressure and temperature was good.... More

“Staff are fantastic, beds are super comfy”

Reviewed 30 April 2013

We had a wonderful little mini break at the Albany. My husband and i have stayed there 3 times now. The first night our room was very average, needing a super good clean and some love, the lovely staff however upgraded us to a premium room for just a little extra per night. The room looked amazing, art deco style... More

“Not the best stay”

Reviewed 28 April 2013

We booked this hotel because it looked nice and was at the time well priced. But when I checked in it was already not at the best start. The woman at front desk informed me they were having problems with the aircon, and it was not working in any of the rooms. She gave me the choice of staying at... More

“Come on feel the noise!”

Reviewed 25 April 2013 via mobile

I'm irate after my terrible stay here. If you like party's, noise, fire alarms at all hours, staff who do nothing to shut things down, cable TV that doesn't work, a buffet without hot food and ground floor apartments with no nets in the window. This is the place for you. You might be lucky to get a Carpark on... More

“My favourite Melbourne Hotel ...”

Reviewed 22 April 2013

I stumbled upon this South Yarra find via Wotif...it's a lovely French inspired budget hotel in the midst of leafy South Yarra, Melbourne. Public Transport to CBD is usually very easy but right now the heavy duty upgrade of the Domain Tram interchange is slowing things down during the working week. The hotel has recently changed management ...so there have... More

“Looks can be deceiving”

Reviewed 13 April 2013 via mobile

It looked great on the Internet. Not so much in person... The fridge was strangely enough in the cupboard. Couldn't even find my room at first, the receptionist said that it was room number 87 but in fact it was 78, very disorganised. Internet is not free as said on internet. It's a long walk to restutaunts. I don't recommend... More

“Great bed in a good location”

Reviewed 11 April 2013

Hotel is quite run-down (though recent change of management may remedy this with time) and noise can be an issue. The bed was super comfy, although the doona was rather warmer than necessary. However, we were happy to stay at this hotel for its price and location - close to the Botanic Gardens, several very good cafes, nearly all the... More

Dear Jp947, Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback from your recent stay at the Albany. Indeed, as New Management have taken over we are definately looking at the areas which need most improvement and a mini face lift.
