I always stay here whenever I am in Melbourne. A great quality hotel in a really good location. Rooms are great and the breakfast buffet is of high quality. Having said that, having one person on reception on a Friday evening which is a key check in time meant a longer than acceptable wait for a 5 star property of this calibre. The hotel was extra busy due to the football finals… the breakfast staff struggled a little with keeping the food options stocked.
While disappointing neither of these would stop me from staying there again.
Really enjoyed the stay there. Great location and easy access to public transport. Very comfortable bed which made the night outside my cozy home so much easier. Friendly staff and good buffet breakfast with amazing view of the building from inside.
Wonderful stay. Enjoyed the hospitality. Breakfast is awesome. Centrally located with city Trams. Only issue is the doors particularly to the bathrooms sometimes get stuck and make it difficult to use.
Excellent hotel perfectly positioned for solo traveler with convenient location and warm customer service. Completely enjoyed the accommodation and would visit again when in Melbourne.
I always stay at the Intercontinental when in Melbourne. Great location that’s close to everything with comfortable rooms, nice service. Definitely recommended.

Too dark at night especially if the lifts aren’t working which is poor for a 5 star.
