10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Newly renovated. Very friendly and helpful staff. We were there for a special occasion & we got our room upgrades and given a complimentary drink each. It was so appreciated- thank you"

Holiday Inn Express Melbourne Little Collins by IHG

8/10 Good

"Hotel was clean and located in a great spot to access the city. Rooms were comfortable and cleaned well daily. Breakfast was ok but lacked choice and at times quality. Had raisin toast most morning. I would stay again but breakfast elsewhere."

The Hotel Windsor

8/10 Good

"I loved the ambiance, the old world feel of the furniture and fittings. But I have a question - this is the second hotel I have stayed at that no longer provide toilet brushes in the bathroom. Is this due to some health and safety issues? And personally I prefer a shower head that can be moved down so that I can direct the spray of the water. The breakfast I had was wonderful, next time I stay I will hopefully be able to have an evening meal too. The staff were all exceptionally friendly and helpful. I was only there over one night but it was very comfortable"
