This hotel is a hidden gem. Fantastic location. We walked to the Australian Open and all around the cbd shops easily. A nice vegan cafe across the alley and a vibrant cafe in the hotel foyer, while also be close to lots of other cafe options. The staff were very friendly. Our room was large and very quiet. Massive TV! The shower in the bathroom had great pressure. The sliding doors/walls in the bathroom were ‘interesting’ but were able to be completely closed for privacy. We would certainly stay again.

Stayed here on the recommendation of other reviews. Definitely wasn’t disappointed. Great, friendly staff, room spotlessly clean, great amenities. Central location, close to everything. Breakfast at the hotel was excellent. Only a short walk from the parking (very reasonably priced) to the hotel. Will definitely return

The hotel is perfectly located in the heart of Melbourne CBD. The rooms are modern, spotless, and in excellent condition with no faults. Beds and pillows are exceptionally comfortable, something we all appreciate! The bathroom design was unique and impressive, and I really enjoyed the layout. Free movies are a fantastic inclusion as well. One area for improvement would be the front desk experience. Staff interactions felt very transactional and robotic; a warmer, more personal approach would greatly enhance the overall guest experience.

Great hotel in a fantastic location. The rooms were clean, comfortable, quiet, and everything felt relatively new. The location is excellent, and having a great café downstairs for coffee and breakfast was a real bonus. We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend The Howey — we’ll definitely be back.
