Stayed for 3 nights to watch the tennis. Great hotel and great location. The hotel is right across from the DFO, shopping + food right over the road and a short stroll to the city centre and the casino. Our room was very clean and well presented and staff were friendly and helpful.We will definitely be back.

Dear franktina2020 Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with others online. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay and our great location during your time with us in Melbourne. We look forward to welcoming you back again in the near future. Kind regards,

4th Stay at this Hotel and 1st time to dine in the restaurant and also breakfast. The Hotel itself is very clean & comfortable. However, the quality of food is not up to par nor are the staff experienced in providing customer service. Urgently need an experienced Front of House person. Upon check out, the Front Desk Manager was extremely professional in listening to my issues and reduced the cost of dinner accordingly.

Great location

I have stayed several times at the Novotel - South Wharf, Melbourne. Great access when driving, just off the freeway and always parking available. Also easy access in and out by road. The hotel is located near great restaurants and close to the CBD. The staff are always friendly and the hotel is presented well. Great place to stay.

Dear Graham1842680, Thank you for your loyalty and for taking the time to share your experience with others. We are delighted that you had another great stay with us. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon. Kind regards,

RayH2808 05/02/2020 TripAdvisor review

From check in to checking out everything was superb. My only criticism was the bed but that is only because I like a firm mattress which is better for my back. One suggestion I would make is to let incoming patrons know that the parking is in the multi story car park next door. This would save driving past the car park looking for the hotel car park.
