Surprisingly pleasant, the room was much nicer than i anticipated. The free WiFi was a very unexpected bonus.

I always look forward to staying at the Alto on Bourke. The reception staff are very helpful. It is wonderful to be able to open the window to get some outside air. Thank you for your attention to these sort of details. :-)

Fantastic place to stay - would definitely stay again. The room was wonderful and large. The massage chairs and coffee machine were fabulous. Thank you for a perfect experience.

Fantastic as I've come to expect. Perhaps have a rating for food as well - the breakfast bruschetta is excellent and the dinner is good also.

I generally found the staff extremely helpful and pleasant barring one. He was not friendly when I checked in (perhpas it was late in the night) nor helpful when I asked if more than 2 computer deivces can access the wi-fi. He simply said no. But then to my delight the next day when I asked a different staff if this was possible, she said yes! Perhaps, he was not having a good day? Overall, I had a very good stay. Thank you

I was only there for a short time but found everything to be great. I would return both on my own (hotel room) and with family and friends in larger rooms.

Location was great. Staff extremely pleasant and helpful. Apartment very clean and had everything we needed. Bit noisy in the mornings with all the building work going on at the back of the hotel.

I really like the Alto. I like the philosophy, location and low key nature of the hotel. I did request a quiet room and didnt realise until I was in bed that the trams outside were very, very noisy. Yes, the windows once shut are very effective in reducing the noise, however, opening windows is one of the reasons I have chosen to say at the Alto this time and in the past. Last time I was further down the corridor. Next time, it would be great to be placed further away from street noise as requested.

We were very happy with the accommodation, not sure if the mattress was a bit firm as we woke up with aches on the side we slept but otherwise we found the staff to be helpful the location perfect and whole experience was outstanding. Thank you very much.

It's become our home away from home when in Melbourne and we recommend to friends and family for all the reasons above.

Great place, great staff, great extras. Our only concern is that the room was a little small for our big luggage but that was almost a non-event. Highly recommend the Alto to anyone visiting Melbourne.

I was very pleasantly surprised by the high quality of service and the cleanliness of the whole hotel. Every detail had been thought of. I would highly recommend to people to stay at the Alto. We will be back!

Belinda from Melbourne, Australia

staff were fantastic and always helpful and knowledgable. Alto is close to everything we wanted to visit while in Melbourne. We're definitely coming back to Melb and when we do we won't hesitate to stay again at the Alto...p.s. great pizza around the corner at MPB!!

Very pleasant stay but missed view from windows - could only see next door wall.

Elizabeth from Sydney, Australia
03 October 2011

We found the location, the staff and the total experience very good. I love being able to open windows and sliding doors, however the noise from the airconditioning motors on the building next door made it unbearable. We certainly appreciated the helpfulness and friendliness of all the staff.

Pat from Perth, Australia

We found the hotel to be in a great location, and the facilities were well maintained and beautifully clean. Myself and my friend both thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we will happily recommend Alto to anyone planning on staying in Melbourne. We really appreciated being able to safely store luggage after our arrival (prior to check-in) and after our check out (prior to departure to airport). We were also very thankful that on the afternoon of our checkout we were still welcome to sit in the lobby, have a cuppa and relax before our journey home. Lauren was an absolute gem, but we found every single staff member to be cheerful and accomodating without being overbearing. Good service like yours can make a real difference to a travel experience. Thank you Alto.

The checkin staff were wonderful. Very helpful as I had 2 young children with me. I had pre organised a porta cot and it was all set up and ready to go - that never happens at other places! Great location, close to tram and train. I would definetly recommend it.

Very enjoyable stay, loved the masage chairs!

Michelle from Adelaide, Australia

Enjoy the Alto always. Great gym nearby, massage room great too. staff always a pleasure. Only thing is that in room- personally prefer a duvet to blankets and feather pillows. Also, air con sometimes can't get to blow hot...

Steve from Sydney, Australia

Very comfortable bed. Would have liked a bath in the bathroom instead of just a shower

Alison from Melbourne, Australia

Clean and well arranged rooms. Pleasant experience.

Zoe from Melbourne, Australia

There was an initial wait of approximately 10 minutes at reception prior to check in due to there only being one person at reception and the phone constantly ringing. We arrived at approximately 2.30pm after booking online for a 2pm check in and we had another 1/2 hour wait as the room wasn't ready. These delays made it difficult with a 5 and 6 year old, the oldest being Autistic. Staff then made us comfortable in the relaxation room with massage recliners which was lovely.

Cheryl from Melbourne, Australia

Very pleasant. Helpful and personable staff. Wifi and coffee on tap were nice touches.

Caroline from Melbourne, Australia

Great place, discovered via internet search and associated comments. ALL staff were wonderful. Breakfast and dinner chefs produced great meals. Not 'over the top' flash meals - just great meals. Meal prices and drinks prices were lower that most other places. Free internet and free massage chairs and free books (exchange) were all greatly appreciated. Again, all staff were wonderful.

Ian from Albury, Australia

Very good would use again. We had a couple of problems - lights now working and need more toilet paper but these were dealt with very promptly

Wayne from Adeliade, Australia

This was our second visit, and so we knew what we were in for. The place is perfectly positioned for travellers, the hotel has wonderful facilities, and a charming restaurant which offers a fabulous daily breakfast - enough to keep you going for ages! Really appreciated my request for a large bed due to my husband being 6'6" being accommodated. It really does make a difference for him to have a good sleep. We will definitely return :)

Carol from Canterbury, New Zealand

I stay regularly and always find the staff very friendly and helpful. I frequently eat in the restaurant and the food is always very good and staff friendly.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Alto Hotel. The hotel was well situated and close to popular attractions, entertainment and activities. The staff were excellent, very polite and only too happy to help. We were impressed with the little extra's for example the wi-fi access and complimentary breakfast and hot drinks. It is the little extras that can make a stay more memorable.
