Suzette G. Families - Confirmed reviews ALL

​Having stayed at other Novotel locations, this property falls far short of the standard we expected. On the positive side, we really appreciated the member perk of early check-in, which allowed us to explore the city without hauling our luggage. However, room cleanliness was disappointing due to stained linens. Staff provided fresh sheets, but the process felt informal since housekeeping had already left. Breakfast had very few options for kids—with only two fresh fruits on the buffet—though the barista coffee was a highlight. In-room amenities were minimal (no bottled water or dental kits), though a nearby convenience store made things easier.

I recently stayed at Novotel South Wharf for 5 nights and had relaxing stay. From a location perspective, it's close to a lot of restaurants and my work office (work trip). My room was on the 24th floor which provided a stunning view. Bonus points for giving me a high level floor without me having to ask!

We are a family of 5, I booked a king and 2 x doubles, it would be great if you have more options for families. The kids (20,17 & 15) are too big to share a double bed now, queens would have been a better option to fit them.

Dear Tammi, Many thanks for your valuable feedback. We are so pleased that your family stay was a positive one. Our location and our team are here to make every visit effortless, and we are glad you felt that during your time with us. We look forward to the pleasure of welcoming you back on future occasions.

Murali R. Business - Confirmed reviews ALL

Overall, the stay was just barely serviceable. Nothing was catastrophically wrong, but there were enough small issues and a general lack of care in addressing them that the experience felt disappointing. Check-in was efficient enough, but not particularly warm or welcoming. More concerning was that the bathroom fan and mirror lights in my room did not work. I raised this with reception, but the response felt dismissive. The fan was simply turned up to high and I was told that was the best they could do, with little apparent concern about properly resolving the issue. The breakfast buffet was another disappointment. There always seemed to be something unavailable, empty or not working. I also found it strange that a cheesy omelette was included, while a vegetable omelette attracted an additional charge - what exactly is the logic behind that? Staff generally seemed rushed and there was very little personal attention. A few other things also left a poor impression. Not providing bottled water in the name of saving the planet feels more like cost-cutting than genuine sustainability. The promised 300 points for choosing a green stay and not having the room serviced resulted in only 100 points being credited, and earning just 56 points for the entire stay is beyond ridiculous. The overnight parking is also extremely expensive for what it is. On the positive side, the Wi-Fi speed for an ALL member was good. Ultimately, the hotel feels like it has become accustomed to the constant stream of visitors attending MCEC events and has stopped paying attention to the little details and personal touches that make a stay memorable. There is plenty of room for improvement, particularly in service, maintenance and showing guests that their concerns actually matter.

Dear Murali, It is disheartening to learn that we fell short of your expectations. We are truly sorry to hear that your stay fell short of what you expected from us. A number of aspects across your visit did not reflect the standard of care we aim to provide, and we regret that these shortcomings left you feeling disappointed. Your arrival and the comfort of your accommodation should have been seamless, and we apologise that they were not. Our team is available around the clock to assist with check-in, and our housekeeping staff services each room daily, ready to address any concerns as they arise. We regret the issues you experienced with the bathroom fan and mirror lights, and that the response you received did not meet the level of care we strive for. We also note your feedback on our environmental initiatives and the recognition you received as an ALL loyalty member. The hotel has removed single-use plastics, runs a food waste programme, and uses energy-efficient systems throughout the property. We understand your concerns regarding the bottled water policy and the points credited for green stays, and we will review these processes to ensure they are transparent and fair. Our team is trained to acknowledge loyalty members and their benefits, and we are sorry this was not reflected during your time with us. Our dining options include a varied breakfast buffet with à la carte alternatives, and our in-room service offers a full menu until late evening with a limited overnight selection thereafter. Mr Carpano restaurant serves seasonal Italian cuisine with vegetarian and gluten-free choices available. We appreciate your comments about the breakfast buffet availability and pricing structure, and we will look into improving the consistency and clarity of our offerings. Regarding parking, we acknowledge your feedback on the cost and will take this into consideration. On a positive note, we are glad the Wi-Fi speed met your expectations. We also appreciate your thoughts on the fitness centre and other hotel services, and we are committed to enhancing these areas to provide a better overall experience. Ultimately, your feedback highlights important areas for improvement in service, maintenance, and guest engagement. We thank you for bringing these matters to our attention, as they help us to better serve our guests in the future. The whole team hopes to have the pleasure of seeing you again. Best wishes, Novotel Melbourne South Wharf Team

Jennelyn E. Families - Confirmed reviews ALL

Double bed too small for my family.. but no choice for better deal

Dear Jennelyn, We really appreciate your feedback. We are delighted that you found our location convenient and that Raglan was able to assist you so helpfully during your mother’s health emergency. Our team takes great pride in stepping up when it matters most. That said, we are sorry that some aspects of your stay did not meet your expectations. We understand the bed size felt limited for your family, and we always recommend our Standard Twin Rooms or two-bedroom apartments for families needing more space. We also note your comment about ease of access, our reception on level 5 is reached by lift from the ground floor, with a second lift serving the guest room floors. Nonetheless, we are glad your overall stay was a positive one and that our staff made a real difference during a difficult moment. Your kind words about Raglan mean a great deal to us. We hope to welcome you back soon. Best wishes, Novotel Melbourne South Wharf Team

Tammy C. Families - Confirmed reviews ALL

Very disappointed in the menu selections- menu in the room has some selections but then when you go to the QR code to order half the items aren’t available. Menu selection at the restaurant for dinner was poor. Nothing simple or straightforward. We ended up leaving and going elsewhere. Our previous visit was great with an amazing selection on the menu. This visit very disappointed. Room service menu was very poor and selection very limited. Guests should be able to read the menu in the room and scan the QR code on the menu and have the ability to order from the same menu however only about 1/3 of the items on the menu where available to order online

Dear Tammy, We are grateful for the time you took to review your recent visit to our hotel. We are delighted that your previous stay with us left such a positive impression. However, we are sincerely sorry that some aspects of your most recent visit did not meet your expectations. We regret the inconsistencies you encountered with our dining offerings, from the discrepancy between the printed menu and online availability to the limited selection at dinner and through room service. Your feedback on these matters is valuable, and we also acknowledge your thoughts on the breakfast experience. We take all guest comments seriously and will reflect on the points you have raised. We hope to welcome you back. Best wishes, Novotel Melbourne South Wharf Team

Peter L. Business - Confirmed reviews ALL

From check-in to departure the experience here was bland at best. It felt like I was at a budget motel which is not something I expect from the brand.

Dear Peter, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear that your stay fell so far short of what you expected from our brand. Your experience, from the moment you arrived until your departure, clearly did not reflect the standard we aim to deliver. The sense of disappointment you describe, particularly when comparing your visit to what you anticipated from a hotel of our standing, is something we take seriously. We regret that the overall atmosphere and service left you with such an underwhelming impression. Our team strives to create a welcoming and professional environment, and we are sorry that your interactions did not convey that commitment. We also acknowledge your concerns about the connectivity and our environmental initiatives, which are areas we continue to refine. Our South Wharf location offers direct access to the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre and sits across from the DFO shopping precinct, making it a practical base for business travellers. We look forward to the chance to host you again for a more satisfying experience, Kind regards, Novotel Melbourne South Wharf Team

Gerin J. Business - Confirmed reviews ALL

Good stay overall but gym could do with a refresh, lots of missing handles for the cable machines. Lift button didn’t work on one elevator on the floor and mirror lights not working in room.

Dear J., We appreciate you sharing your comments with us. We are pleased that your overall stay at Novotel Melbourne South Wharf was a good one. However, we are sincerely sorry that some aspects of your visit did not meet your expectations. Our fitness centre on Level 5 is available 24 hours a day with a range of cardio and weight equipment, and we have taken note of your observations about the gear. The building design does require two separate lifts to reach guest rooms, and our team is always on hand to assist with any difficulty this may cause. We also regret that your arrival and breakfast experiences fell short of what you anticipated. We hope you were able to take advantage of our prime location, directly across from the DFO South Wharf shopping centre and with direct access to the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre. We hope to be able to welcome you back in the future. Kind regards, Novotel Melbourne South Wharf Team

Jeremy B. Business - Confirmed reviews ALL

Room was basic. No thrills or any major standouts for the room or facilities. The minibar was poor and icecream melted in it. Had a kettle, but no tea bags, coffee or chocolate (making the kettle pointless). No extra towels in cupboard and only bare minimum in room. No pool.

Dear Jeremy, Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us. We are glad that your overall stay left you with a positive impression. That said, we are sincerely sorry that some aspects of your visit did not meet your expectations. Our team would have been happy to replenish the in-room supplies or assist with the minibar during your stay. We also regret that you missed having a pool on site, as our hotel offers a 24-hour fitness centre and a terrace on level 6 with beautiful views instead. Nonetheless, we hope you were able to enjoy our direct access to the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre and the convenience of being right across from the DFO shopping centre. We look forward to welcoming you back for another visit. Best wishes, Novotel Melbourne South Wharf Team
