The staff were excellent and could not do enough to make my stay pleasant. The bed was super comfortable and overall the room was excellent. I particularly enjoyed the chocolates they left in my room upon arrival. The only down side was the the noise form the trams, however this subsided during the night so it was not really noticed.

This is an old heritage building looked after extremely well. Even though it is close to the railway station it is still very quiet. Close to Crown for food and an Indian Restaurant onsite. Must book with this. It is very busy.

Great value for money. The spacious suite had everything I needed and was well-maintained. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the Convention Centre and South Wharf. All staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. Had one relaxing evening in the hot tub in the pool area. Highly recommended and will definitely choose again.

A beautiful old building with history and charm. Pool and spa are amazing. Short walk to everything I needed: food, shopping and transport. I had a huge room with actual blockout curtains so I could sleep properly. Train noises are to be expected but I didnt affect the quality if my stay at all. Im already making plans to return! Highly recommend.

A beautiful old, but charming gem. Think long, wide hallways, heritage building, gorgeous views, well and centrally located. Staff were lovely and accommodating. The check in process was seamless and the room was gorgeous (thanks for the upgrade to the loft room!). The room was clean, quiet, modern and well appointed. Highly recommended.

The desk staff offering use of toilets and library later in the day after we checked out was a very nice gesture. Although we didn't require it I can see other guests appreciating it if they had waits for trains, flights etc and time to kill.

Nice old building. The customer service was fantastic. Some of the furniture in my room was a bit old but that did not bother me. The most important thing for me was that everything was nice and clean. When I go to a hotel I take anti bacterial wipes and spray with me. Everything was good and the only thing I hit with the wipes was the tv remote. Trust me never touch a tv remote in a hotel room without sanitizing it first. They are filthy things.

Denis was always friendly and helpful--even helping me connect my computer to the internet when I was having tech issues. His assistant, Cherry, was also friendly and helpful. My daughter enjoyed the heated pool and jacussi. Everything about the hotel was perfect--though I have two suggestions: 1) my mattress was too soft--it would be great if the hotel could provide a futon upon request; 2) the hotel has only 2 washing machines and 2 dryers--not enough for such a big hotel. They should add 1 or two more washing machines and dryers. My heartfelt thanks to the Grand Hotel's friendly and competent staff.

Two nights in Melbourne
When we checked in we found we had been upgraded from a stanard room to a suite with a loft bedroom. Also a lively little note from manager with a treat was included. If you like a hotel with historic atmosphere, this is thenone for you. It was also one block from the train station and right in the middle of the CBD and bus station to airport.
