Hotel Indigo Melbourne on Flinders by IHG

Have stayed at a few Indigo hotels and what they lack in luxury they make up for in personality and individuality. This place was no exception.||Service was generally friendly, helpful and professional. We were upgraded to a "premium" room, though it still wasn't very large, just modern, well designed and trendy. Towels were nice but sheets were scratchy and low quality and should be replaced. The metal and glass doors gave it a nice post industrial feel-- but the tinted glass on the bathroom was just a bad design choice. The bright light from the bathroom lights up the whole room and is close to the bed, so if you use the bathroom and your partner is a light sleeper and still asleep, he/she won't be for long. The sliding door to the indoor hallway was weird but turned out to be great as a second sound barrier against any interior noise.||Location was excellent for exploring Melbourne, and breakfast exceeded my expectations. The buffet wasn't huge but they did have a decent selection and covered my needs as a vegetarian well ever day with veg fried rice and toppings, salad greens and some very tasty fresh ricotta and feta, as well as roasted nuts and seeds and some pretty tasty baked goods. If anything, would be nice if they varied it from day to day but still I thought the quality was good for the hotel star category.||We tried Happy Hour once at the bar and although there were some decently priced drink specials, they weren't very good. Weak and not well crafted/presented. And the ratatouille appetizer from the "French" restaurant was shockingly bad, undercooked and tasteless- nothing like anything I ever tasted in my year living in France. If there is a French chef he needs to review the recipes and cooking that is taking place.|| Still, the value was excellent for the rates we paid, the hotel is very modern and comfortable and has a good vibe, and the staff are doing a good job so I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

Booked a Luxury Escape for our wedding anniversary and we had a very pleasant and enjoyable stay. And would I stay again - Definitely! |Even though our room wasn't ready when we arrived from the airport, we were able to leave our bags and head out. Service at the front desk, lobby bar/lounge and restaurant were all good. The breakfast had a great variety to choose from and plenty of it. The room was quite comfortable. We had a room on Level 7 looking towards the internal/back of the hotel. No issues with noise etc, just no view, but with being out and about most of the day it was of little concern. Speaking of being out and about, we were absent from the hotel on two occasions for 6 plus hours and when we returned the room hadn't been made up. One day we were about to call reception to see when the room could be made up only to hear housekeeping tapping at the door, the second day we had to ring housekeeping to ask when they would be making the room up, only to be aksed if we wanted the room to be made up?!? (um that's why we called). In addition to this, we found that the common area in front of the lift and the hallway hadn't been vaccummed during our entire stay. We noticed that the carpet in front of the lifts were not clean and noticed that each day that passed that the same debris was still in place (see photos). Otherwise, we had a very enjoyable and pleasant 4 night stay at the hotel and would recommend it to friends and family.

I had a great stay at this hotel! It’s in a super convenient spot, really close to the CBD and surrounded by plenty of food options. The staff were genuinely friendly and helpful, which made a big difference. My room was clean, stylish, and bigger than I expected, with a really comfy bed and everything I needed. I especially appreciated the small details, like the nice linens and good-quality coffee in the room.Even though it’s in a busy area, the hotel itself was quiet and relaxing - a perfect place to wind down after a long day. It was easy to get around from here, and I felt really comfortable the whole time. I’d definitely stay again and would recommend it to anyone looking for a mix of comfort, convenience, and great service.

Located in a fantastic area! If you're arriving from the airport, the SkyBus station is conveniently close to the hotel—no need to transfer, which is especially helpful for travelers with large luggage. The hotel is also near the Free Tram Zone, making it easy to get around the city. The rooms are spacious, clean, and comfortable, with smart features that enhance the stay. I highly recommend Hotel Indigo to anyone visiting the city!

Excellent location just a 5 min walk from Southern Cross station where Skybus (from Mel Airport) dropped us off. Located within CBD within free tram zone. The toiletries (Biology brand) were so good I bought some! The gym is also eco friendly. Check in and check out were seamless, the 24h front desk staff were always friendly and helpful (shout-out to Pinn who always made us feel welcome). We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and I'll stay here again when I'm back in Melbourne :)

Housekeeping became a "game", as each day different things were done or missed. Would it be the towels, would it be the tea and coffee, or would it be both? The pieces of fluff on the floor remained constant though. Although the room was sort of clean, but not really - just like the shower which I cleaned in the end.|One day the game was less fun when money was taken from my room. Just some gold coins. But still. The Duty Manager was apologetic, and offered me a coffee, perhaps as a way to make the security violation better? I didn't accept the offer. He promised to keep everyone out of my room (at my request). |Only, the very next day housekeeping went into the room again. And again the Duty Manager apologised. All rather futile.||The room great. The location is great.

Room meets expectation under IHG brand. Good Design with in-room luxury amenities. I love their personalized sense in the hotel. For location, it’s not that convenient but still walkable to the center. Nice design of fitness.

The place was wonderful, the food was delicious and every dish was amazing. We went to celebrate my husband’s birthday and the staff were incredibly kind, making us feel truly comfortable. We loved the bar at the entrance and the cocktail prepared live by the bartender, such a great experience.

Comfortable hotel. Close to transport hubs, MCEC, Southbank, etc. Now known as Hotel Indigo - still part of the IHG Chain.

This is very much a delay review, so definitely check with the hotel before booking as I'm not sure what their COVID situation is and is going to be. We had a quick layover in Melbourne last year and happened to be staying at the Holiday Inn Melbourne on Flinders. This hotel is what you would expect from a Holiday Inn. It's clean, efficient and has the necessary amenities to make your stay a good one. It's also close enough to South Wharf and the Crown Casino where you can pick up food or take a walk and enjoy the nightlife of Melbourne. In the following morning, we had breakfast at the hotel and while it's pretty much a traditional Western breakfast, they did have a pancake machine which I was really fascinated with. Overall, this is a nice place to stay for a quick night or two or for a longer vacation as it's centrally located and easy to get to and from.

Newly renovated hotel in Melbourne CBD. This is definitely not your average holiday Inn. The rooms have floor-to-ceiling window with gorgeous view of the city. The staff are all very friendly and respond to your requests quickly. Sirocco, the restaurant in the hotel serves great contemporary Australian cuisine and fabulous coffee and desserts. Will definitely recommend staying here when you visit Melbourne! It's also a short distance to 2 outlet malls

Decent hotel that's been renovated. Right in the middle of the city!! Perfect for walking anywhere or taking the free tram. You're right off Flinders which is near some of the best food! And it's right by the southbank area but you can't see it from the hotel. I loved the large wall to wall / floor to ceiling windows!! You can hear a lot on the street though. The room service food is gross!! The breakfast buffet is mediocre. The staff is odd, they're not overly friendly at all. The rooms are clean and modern and have everything you need. There aren't water bottles in the room which is annoying. I'd stay here again.

I stayed here for several days while attending the Cricket World Cup final. Nice place, rooms are in like new condition, Wi-Fi has great coverage, close to many locations, trams, great bar and breakfast buffet was very nice. I would stay here again for sure.

Had 2 nights in Melbourne attending seminar in convention and exhibition center. Holiday inn was 10 mins walk away. Easy walk from the Sky bus station. Large rooms. Didn't get to use the gym went jogging along the river. Close to casino and train station. Easy to walk to casinos. Large room for the corner suite 213 for $269 on upgrade. Television in room and sitting room. Didn't use the pool. Reception staff alway available and quick to respond. Good storage facilities after check out. Free wifi.
