The Hotel Windsor

10/10 Excellent

"What wonderful old world charm. Great to see this history so well preseversed. It is in an excellent location. Very Quiet and peacefull inside the accomodation. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Also the upgrade was quite mind blowing. Thankyou. .Thankyou. Easy walk to shops and awesome restaurants. Also we had a great breakfast after a wonderful sleep in."

The Victoria Hotel Melbourne

8/10 Good

"The Victoria Hotel remains my fave place to stay in Melbourne. However, as an older establishment, if you want the aircon to be whisper quiet, the best option may be to turn it off overnight, depending upon your room allocation. I also experienced the constant quiet sound of flowing water, coming from somewhere outside my room on this occasion."
