2nd time we have stayed, may not have best views, but excellent value for money and lovely, competent staff - first 30 mins wireless free is also a nice touch. Very quiet, easy and comfortable

We had a wonderful stay, the rooms are lovely, very new and clean, we loved the fact that we could open our window as well. The overall feeling was very cosy and welcoming, this was our first stay and will not be our last. We found it great value for money and a very handy location. We will recommend you to our friends and famiily.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Alto Hotel. The only downside was the noise caused by the rowdy football fans on the evening of the Australia-Serbia match at Emirates Stadium.

Overall our experience was great. The only issue we experienced was with our second breakfast. The staff struggled to cater with the number of guests that had arrived at the same time and after waiting nearly 40 minutes for breakfast, the waitress needed to be reminded about our order. We also witnessed this same issue occur with a number of other tables. Furthermore, the waitress seemed disinterested in the guests and made us feel that we were an annoyance and that she would rather be anywhere else except doing her job. This was a shame as all the other staff we encountered were absolutely lovely. Also, the actual breakfast meals were wonderful - very fresh and very well prepared.

Richard from Blackwood Sa, Australia

This is our 2nd stay, it suits us to a "T". Have recommended to family and friends and those that have taken it up, feel the same as us. Love we can use stairs if we want, can open windows and that breakfast is cooked as you order. Great staff. Plenty of options depending on length and needs for stay.

A very pleasant, quiet atmosphere with helpful staff in an ideal central location. Our stay wasn't long enough to experience all the Alto had to offer - maybe next time. We were pleasantly surprised at the quality of the coffee on offer from a fully automated system.

It was a great hotel and very clean and comfortable. Thanks for catering for my gluten free diet at breakfast.

Gareth from Manly West Qld, Australia

We liked the modern decor, especially the prints in the hallway and in our room. We loved the projected clock on the wall in the dining room, the complimentary hot chocolates (which were better than we expected), the complimentary breakfast, and the pleasant, efficient breakfast staff. In fact all the staff were good. We liked the boutique feel of the hotel. The location was excellent for a Melbourne shopping weekend. We were impressed with how well equipped the room was - even a microwave. The soap, shampoo, and conditioner dispensers were a great way to provide for our needs in a clean, attractive and efficient manner. The bed could have been more comfortable but it was far better than the bed on the Sun Princess. I also really liked the pillows - it's great to provide two different styles of pillow and let the guest choose which one to use (or use both). It was very helpful that we were able to leave our bags with you after we'd checked out (I know this is a common thing but it was still great).

Linda from Sydney, Australia

Nice and very clean but rooms and bathrooms lack flair. Compared to the lounge area, they seemed very bare and could use better furnishings. 'Blue' compact fluorescents in the bathrooms and bedside gave me a headache. Very friendly staff, in particular with printing boarding passes. Good value and I would probably stay again if I needed to be close to Southern Cross.

Benjamin from Coffs Harbour, Australia

Loved every minute of our stay. Wouldn't even consider staying elsewhere in Melbourne.

Words can't express how much we appreciate the Alto Hotel. We have used it for our staff for over 3 years. It is like a hidden jewel in the CBD and permits one to mix business and rest after long flights. We have always been well looked after by the helpful staff. We have enjoyed meals in the restaurant. We typically bus from the airport to Southern Cross station and it is literally a 2 minute walk from the station - so handy. Thanks again for a great stay.

Michael from Auckland, New Zealand

Staff were friendly on arrival and the hotel had everything that we needed. The little sitting area by the fire was lovely. My only suggestion would be a few bags of nuts or nibbles in the rooms/minibar. Also, I was on a business trip with two colleagues and there is no option for this under your "Booking Type" selection in this survey.

Louise from Sydney, Australia

Great breakfast and LOVED the idea and setup of the reading nook/exchange - very comfortable and inviting. Good solution for parking in the circumstances.

My experience was absolutely perfect! I was staying their with my family the night before my wedding and when you brought to the room a bottle of champagne and strawberries it made the start to the night beautiful! Thank you so much for helping to make me feel special. I will definately be recommending you to others. It is this kind of service that really makes you stand out from the rest! We are actually planning to stay there in the next couple of months. I look forward to returning with my husband to show him and other family. Thanks again!! Your staff are outstanding!

A very good experience. The only disappointment was that the kitchen at the restaurant was closed by 8pm on Friday night.

Bruno from Sydney, Australia

Very friendly and welcoming. I appreciated being able to leave my luggage with you before check in and again after checkout. It was lovely to be able to relax on a very rainy day in the lounge whilst waiting for my train. Thank you very much.

The most enjoyable and outstanding service we have experienced in the last 40 years of traveling throughout the world. Everything associated with our stay at the Alto Hotel On Bourke Street, was outstanding. The staff went out of their way to make our visit most enjoyable. THANKS FOR THAT OLD WORLD CHARM AND SERVICE.
