We felt completely at ease in well looked after apartment with modern decor and everything we might need. The modern, spacious rooms are a wonderful surprise given the more traditional external appearance of the hotel.

Lovely staff, efficient and friendly. Room very clean, stylish and comfortable but a little bit noisy with those trams clunking past!
Patricia from Perth, Australia 09 June 2014
All rooms have windows that open for fresh air. Our standard is to leave them open for guest arrival. Closing both sections of the double glazing will shut out most of the noise of the city.

Nice and close to the railway stationand skybus station and within walking distance of the central CBD shops and restaurants.
Clean rooms.
Very comfy beds.
Great conditioner and plenty of it, a bonus for the girls!
Oh... and I loved that they have decent powerful hairdryers.. definately a bonus for me!
I think the only let down was the lack of a view, we had only a very small half sized window with a view of the brick wall next door.
But for an overnighter, it was fine.
The cleanliness was great. No mini bar, but free wifi and foxtel.
Christopher from Bargo, Australia 06 June 2014
Unfortunately being a small boutique hotel in a large city does limit views from some rooms. Rooms that enjoy a better vista include 1 bedroom spa apartments, 2 bedroom deluxe apartments as well as a some of the Studio Queen rooms.

Exceedingly pleasant experience and I even came back the following night after my plans changed to enjoy an extra evening at the hotel.
The location is brilliant, the rooms very clean and comfortable, and even the creaky floors seem to go with the boutique nature of the hotel.

Overall we had a enjoyable stay. The library downstairs was great on the last day to relax for the last few hrs before our 9pm flight. Bed was too soft for us, so not the best night sleep we've ever had but still managed to sleep in!
Adam from Perth, Australia 05 June 2014
Great to have some "bookworms" inhabit the library. Our beds are filleted with deep pillow top mattress. While most people find the beds incredibility comfortable, those that prefer a firm bed may find them too soft. No matter we can easily remove the pillow top section to convert the bed into a much firmer format. Just ask when booking or even while in house and we can make the change.

Very enjoyable. Good breakfasts. Room is super clean and well designed. Air conditioner did not work so room was too warm. If we are Melbourne again we will stay at the Alto.
William from Bellingham Wa, United States 24 May 2014
Our air conditioners are reverse cycle that can heat and cool. The mode may have bee set to heating as the evenings at this time of year are generally cool. However reception is open 24 hours a day with staff available to help with any inquiries or issues that may arise.

We are a group of 7 friends (over 2 x apartmets) who travel to Melbourne to see AFL & visit rellies etc and the Alto is the right combination of all the above rating criteria. Most of us also stay with you at other times of the year, either singularly or as couples.

We loved our time at Alto Hotel and look forward to a return visit in the future. We have recommended it to our family and friends as they visit frequently for work and pleasure. Our only criticism was the fact that the restaurant wasn't open over Easter. However we managed and had a terrific stay. Thank you for the Easter eggs, the apples, the eco friendly principles for which we value, for the washer dryer, for the wonderful house keeping, the excellent staff, the soap/lotions in each bathroom, the Foxtel and 2 tv's, the wifi, the artwork, the reading nook/library, the great breakfast and takeaway coffee...well you get the drift. Thank you and keep doing what you are doing. Kind regards, Karen Greenwood & Family
Karen from Perth, Australia 20 May 2014
While our restaurant is open for breakfast every day we have found that most guests over a weekend or holiday period such as Easter are more interested in trying one of the many dining precincts and exciting restaurants throughout the inner city.

Overall it was fantastic. Check in was easy, and even though we were early and were expecting just to drop our bags and check in properly later, our room was prepared. Loved the hot chocolates in the lounge. Also the little library section was cute. Really wanted to try out the relaxation room, but we ran out of time. Will have to do it next time. :)

We love staying at the Alto and recommend it to everyone we know who needs to stay in Melbourne. The staff are always perfect, the room and facilities are always amazing and the location suits us perfectly. The pillows this time were a little bit firmer than I might like but other than that, it was perfect.
Ebony from Wodonga, Australia 18 May 2014
Our beds are set with 2 distinct types of hypo allergenic pillows for guest to choose their preference. More of the preferred style will gladly be provided on request. The pillows on each bed are latex which provides a soft but firm pillow that holds its shape. The other is micro fire filled which reacts in a similar manner to a feather pillow in that is can be shaped somewhat to the users requirements.

It was a perfect stay on our first visit to Melbourne. The hotel is centrally located right across from Southern Cross Station which makes transportation and accessibility a breeze.
The room was cleaned properly every single day, and the bed was firm and good - perfect for a great night of sleep and rest.
We will certainly recommend to family and friends, and will be rebooking if we were to visit Melbourne again.
