I thoroughly enjoyed it. The near-perfect review was just spot on! I had just so much relaxing time there. Plus your GREEN concept just topped it. As a strong Green believer, I think you've done a wonderful job. THANK YOU.

We were very impressed with the environmentally friendly nature of the hotel. We also found the two gentlemen working on the reception desk to be exceptionally professional, helpful, kind, and courteous. The only downfall for us was the noise factor from outside. It sounded like people were literally talking outside of our window at all hours of the night so we found it difficult to sleep. Apart from that the room was clean and comfortable and reasonably priced. Breakfast was also fresh, tasty and good value. Thank you very much!

Having windows that open for fresh air is a benefit however when open they will let in noise from the surrounding area. Our reception is open 24 hours a day to assist and will do their utmost to find a solution even when noise is from public areas.

I'm a regular. But did notice the evening meal was no longer available. Plus the cook turned up late one morning so cooked breakfasts were late. The lass in the dining room handling this very well. Your place is like a 2nd home and I appreciate the facilities time & time again and will continue to return.

My partner and I stayed for three nights at the Alto and had a wonderful time. The beds were super comfy and the location is only a two minute walk from Southern Cross Station so it was perfect for us. One of the biggest reasons we chose the Alto was the environmental focus of the hotel, we only wish that there had been more vegan options (some soy milk in the fridge instead of just dairy would have been lovely). No complaints really, except that the coffee plunger in our room still had remnants of tea from a previous guest, ew.

We received a warm welcome from Andrew and he was very helpful in addressing our questions. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The only down side was checking out. We were running late unfortunately and received a phone call followed by a supervisor entering our room. A little over zealous we thought and nothing we have ever experienced before and we travel extensively . Checking out was nowhere near as pleasant as checking in!

Guest From from Cairns, Australia

Our internal communication was not efficient as we did not co-ordinate between our front desk and housekeepers once it was established that a late checkout was required and you were unnecessarily disturbed twice.

Very comfortable bed & linens. Appreciated the water carafe & cold glasses as well as real milk for coffee. Charley was very helpful with information & restaurant suggestions. Grateful for room facing the alley as it was quiet. Nice wine for value before going out to dinner - we wanted a bit more than offered at the hotel. Understand that it was just before race weekend but still a bit difficult to take the huge jump in rate for our 2nd night; especially as we had booked our 1st night ages ago - some concession would have been appreciated. Good value for under $200., not so much for nearly $300.

An absolutely fantastic find on the internet. Four family females from the USA, Aus and UK had a wonderful time in Melbourne made perfect by our stay at the Alto. There was nothing we could find fault with. Staff were incredibly kind, helpful, pleasant, and always went the extra mile for us. The location was spot on for trains, trams and some great eating places. Our 2 bed apartment had everything in it that we needed. The air con was brilliant, (we were there in the middle of a heatwave), it was immaculately clean, lovely comfortable beds, good free wifi and very quiet in the evenings, plus free coffee and lovely fresh apples 24/7. I have travelled extensively and it is one of the best hotels I have stayed in. Would we come and stay again, absolutely yes, would we recommend it, absolutely yes. Thank you to the staff at Alto for helping make our special once in a lifetime family holiday so special. We also admire your 'green policies' well done.

Convenient location for airport transfers and city access. Staff extremely courteous. Catered for soy and gluten-free preference. Room a little cramped, but not much time spent in it anyway.

Great location, central to all activities we were attending during our stay. The staff were friendly and the room was great. Will certainly stay again next time we are in Melbourne. Enjoyed the free coffee and hot chocolate that was available in the lounge, a great way to start and finish your day.

We had a lovely stay at the hotel. The staff was most helpful and the location was excellent (two minutes of walking from the skybus terminus and 30" to the tramstop, which takes you to all major sites in less than 10 minutes).the studio was very clean and quiet and spacious enough for us.

The hotel is well placed if visitors require public transport. We were visiting for the air show so it was handy to be so close to Sothern Cross station. It's also a reasonable walk into the centre of the city. As we discover later, the free city circle tram stops not far away. Cleanliness and friendly, helpful staff impressed!

Position was perfect for us, near Southern Cross Station, Southbank and South Wharf. We were so impressed we have booked again next February. Each year we have a sisters weekend (There's 6 of us), so it was perfect for us with three bedrooms and three bathrooms.
