I have previous experience staying in Crown prom @ Perth, thus I might set a higher standard for Crown Metropol @ Melbourne. Was totally disappointed with the check in, valet, I would say the total experience for 4D3N.
Staffs and valet, not friendly, not approachable, not customer oriented. There was one day I brought my toddler out for toys shopping, came back to the valet where it was windy and I had trouble bringing out my kid and carrying the loots...my things were everywhere. Guess what, the valet staffs outside were happily chatting away until I had to walk over and asked for some help.
Check in staff wasn't helpful neither friendly when we asked her about the solutions on parking as it was the first time there.
I can't say they are rude but neither they are polite.
I wouldn't recommend Crown Melbourne but Crown Perth was worth paying for!

Everything was more than expected. Only one or two very minor items such as dining menu being stained and not enough dustbins in the room. Also information for the use of the door card being used in the lift to start it. As I say very minor, everything else was fantastic.

I hired out a king luxe and loft rooms for a weekend away with my friends. All of us experienced very average service. I think if I was paying average rates, I would not be fussed. However, I paid a little bit more hoping to have a really enjoyable weekend with my friends, good attentive service etc. safe to say I have experienced better service in a Holiday inn motel at Melbourne airport. Just the overall lack of attention to detail that is lacking which really makes a difference in hospitality I think.

1)Room 1169 had faulty light bulbs that flickered.
2) Calling in to request rooms on the same floor weeks prior to check in,I was told that it was subject to availability on that day etc. we didn’t have rooms on the same floor in the end. That is acceptable given hotel policy but it was the fact that the people on the other end of the phone handled the call with annoyance, no sense of apology or making an effort for an exception

3)My name was spelt wrongly for my booking, my email was spelt wrongly so I did not get my booking sent to me initially. I had to call again to get it sent to me again.

4) my friend was met by the fairly rude staff on check in

The only good thing I have to say was when I checked in at 11pm
Friday, that check in staff was friendly , welcoming and he helped with getting extra access keys.

The cumulative experience is underwhelming for such a hyped up hotel. Not staying here again. I am disappointed to have spent all that money on a very average stay.

I would recommend Crown Metropol Melbourne. Easy check in. Friendly welcoming staff. The quality fittings and clean order of the room ensure a comfortable stay. Mid hallway on the 15th floor was quiet. Only negative: tiny fridge overstocked with pricey mini bar items (no room for our soy milk)
Convenient location: walk through from the 1st floor to crown complex shopping, restaurants, casino and Playtime Crown/Kingpin entertainment, Village Movie complex. Convenient to Clarendon St restaurants like the quality Vegan/Vegetarian 'Shakahari Too' at 225 Clarendon St South Melbourne.
