So much to like about this hotel. Loved the old world ambience and the personal and very pleasant reception on arrival. Plus hand written welcome card and gift waiting in room. A reminder of a time when service meant something more than making things available online. And I enjoyed a wonderful spacious room. Lovely place.

We really enjoyed the convenient location and the unique features of this hotel. Even though the room was a little dated and needed some repairs, it was none the less comfortable and very clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful with great information on the local area. We will stay again on our next visit.

It’s such delight to find not only a building with classic character, but also a business that is run with old school customer service values. From the second we pulled up to the moment we checked out the staff were wonderful. The staff member who checked us in was amazing, giving us all the information we’d need for our stay, but also escorting us to our secure parking spot for the weekend and then giving us a tour of the facilities. The room we had on the 6th floor was clean, spacious and had full kitchen facilities. We were blown away with the scale of the halls and the grand ceiling height. It is refreshing to find a place to stay in the city that’s not just the same modern, uninspired and forgettable room that you’ve stayed in a million times before. The proximity to southern cross station, marvel stadium and the exhibition centre make it a great choice for regional travellers. We will stay at the grand Melbourne hotel again.

I really enjoyed my stay at the Grand. Great location with easy access to train stations and trams. Staff were friendly. The heated pool was a bonus. The restaurant served fabulous Indian food in the evening and the Grain Store in Flinders Lane, that they recommended for breakfast, was superb. Definitely will stay there again.
