We travelled to Melbourne to see a concert at the Rod Laver arena and were seeking accommodation reasonably priced and within walking distance of the concert venue.
We were thrilled with every aspect of our stay at the Alto.
From the moment we checked in until check out 2 days later, staff were helpful and polite.
The room was well appointed and very clean.
We loved the fact that it was run by green energy, and utilised the opening window for fresh air. When it was time to sleep, the double window kept out all the noise from streets below.
The bed was comfortable and we had a great couple of nights sleep. No sound from other rooms at all.
The kitchenette area was lovely, well stocked with milk in the bar fridge plus tea, coffee & sugar, as well as glasses, crockery and cutlery.
We had hot breakfast included in our package. It was fantastic!
There is a help yourself coffee machine that does coffee, tea, hot chocolate any time - conveniently located near the computers for free internet access - handy for checking in to the following days flight!
We discovered the relaxation room that can be booked free of charge, but unfortunately didn't have time to utilise it - it did look good with two big massage chairs. Next time maybe!.
There is no pool or gym on site, but we already knew that and generally don't use such facilities anyway. I believe you can obtain complimentary entry to a nearby gym if needed though.
The shower in the room was great - one of the best I've experienced.
Room was serviced well while we were out - nice to return to a lovely clean room.
The walk to Rod laver from this location was enjoyable for us, but easy to access by tram if walking is not your thing.
We also walked to Southbank and the outlet shops from the Alto.
Great location!!
