I have got to say this is one of the worst so called hotels that I have ever stayed at. My family and I visited melbourne for a four day break, everything else we loved apart from the 'hotel'. The place was nothing like it is described on any of the websites. The pictures of the rooms were very misleading.... more

Just thought this place was great… location, staff, breakfast cannot be faulted. Highly recommend this little Boutique Boudoir. more

We were going to Melbourne to see the Art Deco Exhibition at the National Gallery and some friends recommended the Albany. Reading the reviews we were a little nervous. I needn't have worried. The owners have obviously paid attention to past criticism. We had a huge front room in the Mansion section of the Albany. Spotlessly clean, freshly painted and... more

I'm afraid to say that The Albany is a wannabe "hotel" that is quite inaccurately represented on it's own website, and most sites I could find. Basically, it's a glorified hostel that just about makes it as a low grade motel. Hotel?? No way... They impose quite ridiculous conditions for booking cancellations, and this speaks volumes... is it because so... more

To call this a hotel is a shame. It is a roadside motel at best that offers nothing but headaches! Rooms overlook the parking lot with outdoor catwalks, and the rooms themselves are smelly, dirty and unsafe. Its debatable whats thinner the sheets or the walls. On top of that, everyday we came back to our room to find our... more

Where do I begin? I'd booked the Penthouse 2 bedroom room for my boyfriend and best friend and also cajoled a couple that we know to also book a room, to spend 3 nights in Melbourne over new year's eve. Should I begin with perhaps with walking into our 2 bedroom "Penthouse" room to find that it was musty and... more

Before you book this Hotel in warmer seasons, ask for a room that not only has an air conditioner, but also one that works. We booked a "Superior" room, the air conditioning was on it's coolest settings, but it did not cool the room, and it was cooler outside. We had to leave the door open at nights, only for... more

I would say this hotel is only good for sleeping. However, both my husband and I did not have any 'major unhapiness' staying at this place. I guess our 'tolerance leve' is pretty high. The price is pretty cheap for this place. Let's break it down: Pros: - I find the location pretty good - The bed and pillows were... more

Stayed in a mansion room for a 1 night getaway with my mum. Room was nice, high ceilings and polished floorboards. Bathroom was a bit old and small, but beds were very comfortable. Free newspaper and breakfast included was a bonus, along with the free bottle of wine. Overall a pleasant experience, but definitely stay in a mansion room! more
