We were upgraded to a beautiful suite, bed was comfortable and we appreciated the extra space with a kitchenette, desk, couch and small dining table in the room! Would definitely stay again and was very short walk to the Casino / Southern Cross station and makes the whole city accessible
This is a beautiful building with spacious and comfortable rooms. Although it is right next to the railways it is very quiet. I always try to stay here when I am in Melbourne.They always look after me well.
Was greated straight aeat by friendly check in staff who had our room ready early. Room was clean with good view. Chocolates and welcome card was a nice touch
Always a wonderful hotel to stay with, staff are fantastic, the hotel is beautiful with so much character, every room appears slightly different but always comfortable and roomy. Easy walk to everything!
I really enjoyed my stay at the Grand. Great location with easy access to train stations and trams. Staff were friendly. The heated pool was a bonus. The restaurant served fabulous Indian food in the evening and the Grain Store in Flinders Lane, that they recommended for breakfast, was superb. Definitely will stay there again.
