Short stay

Dear Daniel, We appreciate you letting us know about your recent visit. We are pleased that our location worked so well for your business needs, with direct access to the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre and the DFO shopping precinct right across the way. That said, we are sincerely sorry that several aspects of your stay did not meet your expectations. Your loyalty as a Gold member is valued, and we regret that the recognition you deserved was not offered proactively. Our team should have extended your upgrade without hesitation, and we are equally sorry that your welcome drink and amenity fell short. Your feedback on the breakfast offering and the internet speed has been noted, and we appreciate you bringing these details to our attention. Nonetheless, we are glad that your short visit served its purpose and that you found our position in South Wharf convenient. We all hope we have the pleasure of seeing you again. Best regards, Novotel Melbourne South Wharf Team

Gee V. D. W. Business - Confirmed reviews ALL

Overall experience was great! Daily room service, easy access to conference facilities, plenty of dining options within walking distance, great buffet breakfast included, and beautiful view from top floor. Hotel restaurant had limited and inexperienced staff the night I really needed a quick and early dinner, which resulted in a 75min wait for my food. But I will definitely be back again :)

Dear Gee v. d. , We appreciate you letting us know about your recent visit. We are delighted that you enjoyed the beautiful view from the 26th floor, along with the daily room service and the great buffet breakfast. We are also pleased that you found our conference access convenient and appreciated the variety of nearby dining options. That said, we are truly sorry that some aspects of your stay did not meet your expectations. We regret the long wait you experienced at our restaurant and understand how frustrating that must have been when you needed a quick meal. Our team is always available on site to help resolve such situations promptly. We also note your wish for extra in-room conveniences like snacks, a freezer and a microwave. While our apartments on the 26th floor do offer kitchenettes, our standard rooms come with a mini-refrigerator and tea and coffee making facilities for your comfort. Nonetheless, it is wonderful to hear that you plan to return. We are glad that your overall stay left a positive impression and that our location worked so well for your business trip. We do hope to welcome you back for an improved experience. Best wishes, Novotel Melbourne South Wharf Team

Lisa H. Families - Confirmed reviews ALL

I've stayed with your property many times and its a great location. Very convenient, clean and tidy. My only criticism this stay was that housekeeping walked in while we were still in the room without knocking (well before checkout time) and my teenage daughter was getting changed and made her feel very uncomfortable.

Dear Lisa, We are grateful for the time you took to review your recent visit. We are delighted that you find our location so convenient and that our cleanliness standards continue to meet your expectations across your many stays. It is wonderful to know that our team’s service added to the enjoyment of your mother-daughter trip to Melbourne. However, we are sincerely sorry that some aspects of your stay did not meet your expectations. We deeply regret the disturbance caused when a member of our housekeeping team entered your room without knocking, especially given the discomfort this caused your daughter. Our team should always respect your privacy, and we have shared your feedback with them. We also acknowledge your comments about the loyalty points process and the internet access details, and we are sorry these were not clearer. Our front desk team is always happy to walk you through connecting to our complimentary high-speed WiFi, and they can explain how your ALL points work at any time during your stay. Nonetheless, we are pleased that you continue to choose Novotel Melbourne South Wharf for your visits, and we truly value your loyalty as a Classic member. Our location, directly across from the DFO South Wharf and with direct access to the Melbourne Convention Centre, makes us a great base for exploring the city. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future for an improved experience. Kind regards, Novotel Melbourne South Wharf Team

Lincoln D. Business - Confirmed reviews ALL

On my first night I did have an issue with a restaurant staff member but I received an apology and an explanation from the restaurant Manager on duty on the Friday night and I could not be happier, I will definitely stay again, I wish I could remember his name so I could thank him personally.

Dear Lincoln, Thank you for sharing such a valuable review. We are delighted that our restaurant manager was able to turn your first night around so quickly. We are also glad you appreciated the daily refresh of your room, and it is wonderful to know our new bar team member made a great impression during your stay. However, we are sorry for the initial difficulty you faced with a restaurant staff member. Our team always aims to resolve matters on the spot, and we are pleased the manager on duty could address this for you. Nonetheless, your kind words about the team mean a lot to us. We are especially proud of the care our staff show, and we will make sure the restaurant manager and the bar colleague receive your recognition. We all hope we have the pleasure of seeing you again.

Danica A. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL

There was an empty can of beer trash in our room, toilet sink was not draining well and shower floor was dirty.

Dear Danica, Thank you for sharing your opinion about your time with us. We are truly sorry to hear that several aspects of your stay fell short of the experience we strive to deliver. Discovering an item left behind by a previous guest and encountering shortcomings in the bathroom are not reflective of our daily housekeeping standards, and we regret the impression this left. Our team is always available to resolve such matters promptly when they are brought to our attention on site. We also acknowledge your comments about accessing the hotel. Our reception is located on level 5, and from there a second lift takes guests to the accommodation floors, a layout that can feel less direct on first visit. We hope that we are able to offer you an improved experience in the future. Kind regards, Novotel Melbourne South Wharf Team

This was was business trip to attend a conference at the MCEC. Accommodation was booked through Encanta Event Management. I was delayed in my travels, phoned Novotel South Wharf late in evening around 2000 to check my booking, only to get a generic Novotel call centre who was unable to confirm my booking, & was then put on hold for 10-15 minutes before eventually being put through to Novotel SF. I then learnt that Novotel SF did not provide on-site parking and parking would cost me $65/day, so I called an Uber. The concierge when I arrived was amazing. She was friendly, helpful, offloaded my luggage, accompanied me to reception & carried my luggage to my room. She was there when I checked out as well and was exceptional. This was probably the best part of my stay. Reception was friendly and helpful. The room was satisfactory. I travel a lot with work & stay in 4 or 4.5 star hotels where microwave & toaster elevate the experience. At Novotel SF the bed was not a king deluxe as it was split. Handwash, shampoo, etc. was smelly, not appealing & not hypoallergenic. Showerhead was not rainfall as advertised & difficult to adjust (height & direction). However water pressure & hot water were good. Only 2 bath towels & no shower caps (under the pretext of sustainability) & no minibar without room service was inconvenient. Recycling bin was good. The most unsatisfactory aspect was the breakfast which was included in cost of stay. The food quality was disappointing. Eggs & bacon was overcooked (or left for too long in warmers), sausages were very fatty, hash browns & potato gems tasted like they came from frozen section of supermarket, vegetables were undercooked, fresh fruit selection was limited & the other fruit (mangoes, apricots, peaches & pears) looked & tasted like they came from a can. I don't eat very much & due to business time constraints I only had time to eat a small bowl of fruit, a small serve a scrambled eggs & couple rashes of bacon. I noticed a family with children were permitted to take plates of food back to their room. When I asked whether I could also take a plate back to my room or a takeaway box for the food I was unable to finish I was refused. When I wrapped some leftover food in serviettes to takeaway (i.e., 2 very small croissants, 2 slices of sourdough bread & 2 wedges of brie) I was treated like a thief. The next day I noticed the brie was cut up into very small cubes & I was watched very carefully lest I "steal" more food.

Dear Honey, We appreciate you bringing your concerns to our attention. We are delighted that our concierge and reception team stood out during your stay, and that the water pressure met your expectations. That said, we are truly sorry that so many aspects of your visit did not meet your expectations. Your experience with the phone system, the parking information, the breakfast quality, and the way you were made to feel at the restaurant were clearly disappointing, and we deeply regret that. The shortcomings you noted with the bed, the shower, and the amenities availability are matters we have taken on board. Finally, your recognition of the concierge who assisted you with luggage and local directions means a great deal to us. We hope we can provide you with an improved stay in the future. Kind regards, Novotel Melbourne South Wharf Team

John M. Solo - Confirmed reviews ALL

Only hiccup was when we, my son and I, went to Mr Carpano for dinner on Tuesday night. We were seated and waited for 35 minutes before our order was taken. A chap across from us who arrived at the same time, left in discuss and refused to wait any longer. The food came out in reasonable time but our drinks order was not delivered. On checking out, there were big apologies and the cost of the drinks was removed from our bill. Consequently, for the rest of my stay we ate our evening meal elsewhere.

Dear John, Thank you for choosing us and for sharing your review. We are delighted that you found your room comfortable and spotlessly clean. It is wonderful to hear our reception team made such a positive impression, and we are glad our front desk staff handled the billing adjustment thoughtfully at check-out. That said, we are sincerely sorry that some aspects of your stay did not meet your expectations. We regret the long wait you and your son experienced at Mr Carpano and that your drinks order was overlooked. Our dining team is usually known for attentive service, and we have shared your comments with them to ensure they are mindful of every guest’s experience. Nonetheless, we are pleased that the rest of your interactions with our team were so enjoyable. Our staff genuinely care about making every stay welcoming, and they will be happy to know their efforts stood out to you. Thank you again; we hope that you will return. All the best, Novotel Melbourne South Wharf Team
