The Melbourne Hotel

We came in late Friday. While the room was beautiful we decided we needed one with a view and more space. We managed to get upgraded and have the verandah and an amazing view. We love the street noise as we are from the country. The anniversary welcome bubbles & late check out were a lovely bonus. High tea at The Gran Orient was exceptional, room service was great, breakfast downstairs was delicious. The Fitness room was perfect to keep up with our routines, and it was so nice to return after a river walk and shop to have had housekeeping do the room. Highly recommend the whole experience at The Melbourne Hotel.

We booked a new contemporary room (accessible has a very spacious bathroom 🙌) Spotlessly clean, beautiful room. Comfortable bed & modern furniture. Quiet for resting. Nice bar, restaurant with friendly service. 10/10

We were due to stay here for 4 days at the end of our visit around Western Australia. Unfortunately I was taken ill which involved a stay in hospital and recuperation in the hotel before returning to the UK. The staff looked after both us extremely well - firstly making sure my husband was looked after when he was on his own and extremely stressed about me and then when I came out of hospital they could not have been more helpful in meeting my needs whilst recuperating. By the time we left we really felt part of the family. Well done to all the staff and we hope to return one day under better circumstances.

Pleasant stay with good services. The stuff are friendly and patient. My son enjoys the stay as the room is big and clean. Should try the Peking duck at their Chinese Restaurant “Grand Orient”. Very authentic taste. 👍👍👍

A few things that are super great at The Melbourne Hotel. Location. The physical room itself is great. It’s clean, spacious, most amenities satisfying and bed is comfortable. Took off 1 star for the room, for the most uncomfortable red chair to sit on to watch TV. Hard lay back leather. Please get a comfortable couch. Art work , please support local artist with art on your walls. Its very plan and boring. Staff were friendly , breakfast was great at the hotel cafe.

Stayed here overnight to attend the theatre. Room was nicely furnished. Window overlooked an internal courtyard. The seats in the room looked the part but were uncomfortable. Didn't get to sleep till midnight due to a loud event, it would appear they prioritise events over in house guests even though the terms and conditions require guests to be quiet or face eviction Also the website says there are bathrobes in the rooms. There are not - at least fix your false advertising. Better places to stay for the money really.

My wife and I sayed for 3 nights and have definitely said we will be back. Please make a point of sharing tge positive feedback with Bex from the Pub section. Her pleasent nature, professionalisim and obvious pride in her workplace shine through as does the manner in which she leads her team. It is people like Bex who help you retain 5 star ratings and one of the main reasons we will back.

The only way to sum up this hotel is total disappointment. I just spent a week at the intercontinental in Perth. Great hotel a same price point. Melbourne hotel looks like a stylish hotel but it’s beyond basic. I tried to find a new hotel the day I checked in but all decent hotels could not accommodate for the week. My room is danrk and depressing. Overlooks the internal light well. Not a room I want to spend time in. Furniture is basic and not good quality. Looks clean but if you look close it’s not, also who ever told them raw concrete just where they have patched putting in a door or electrical does not make it a smart warehouse vibe. It looks cheap and unfinished. Mini bar non existant. And while i never use any for this price point it should be a decent selection for patrons. Not the cheap bottles of water and a few coffee pods tv is tiny and not even a smart tv or have they added tech to allow all phones to cast to them. There is no clock or a speaker to stream music. Now for the staff. They are not rude but they just don’t care to help anyone. I tried to move to a room with a window external. Even happy to pay more for it. The tv no care or options. This hotel charges five star yet they are three at best. The owners need to actually assess their product end to end and step it up or lower your prices to that of holiday inn

with Homeless Hobos and Street Dwellers living literally next door, carry a full pack as you will be asked by a 'bum' for a 'bum' of a smoke or a cash donation. this area is Sketchy at best and the 'Sketchy' vibe continues inside as well. Bait & Switch is the oldest Con in the book and this property has it down to a science! i booked a picture and description and was told i'm the liar and i have a reading deficiency. never have i been so scammed. well once in miami and that is a totally different story. and a lot less money. be aware that a full price suite may not be a suite but just another room, with a name attached as if that changes facts? this building had a history of ill repute and basically hasn't changed.

Stayed with family here for a few nights in June 2018. The staff were very friendly. Classy lounges, bar & dining. Foods is quite good too, especially loved the Hattendo buns. The rooms are definitely in the unique category. Enjoyed the stay here & will be back again. Recommend staying in this Hotel in Perth.

The ladies at check in, if I could give you individually 5 stars I would. The only set back of the check in is there is next to no parking at the hotel. Basically there is approx 20 bays for the entire hotel guests and staff. "The room" we paid extra and received a balcony room. This has its charm and I must say was exactly how described on the website. Very well appointed and clean. There is the expected road noise but my issue was the warmth and stuffiness of the room - the aircon just wasn't cool enough and the only fresh air comes from opening the balcony door which opens onto a large shared balcony so that comprises security. I dropped half a star for that. There is no room service on a Sunday - wtf ! Also no room service after 8pm at night - wtf. Lastly my pet annoyance - is tipping in Australia. The bills for the cafe has an American style tipping area, which was presented for payment prior to receiving food. Why would anyone pay a tip prior to getting their food? When I refused a tip I received a roll Of the eyes and was then worried about the quality of my food. All in all a nice hotel in the west end of Perth and I would stay here again.

The Melbourne is an elegant bar on the outskirts of the CBD. The facade was built in 1897, and gives The Melbourne a strong sense of character. Unlike a lot of places that call themselves a "hotel", but are really bars, The Melbourne is an actual four-star hotel, as well as a bar and restaurant. The bar has a good range of beers, with James Squire featuring prominently. Which is no surprising, considering the James Squire logo is emblazoned on their fences outside. The bar has a very upmarket, yuppie feels, and most of the patrons seem to be workers from the CBD flocking to The Melbourne for a beer and a powwow. The food is typical pub grub, although more expensive than most places with similar menus. The Melbourne is a decent place for a beer, if you find yourself in the upper parts of Hay Street. However, there are cheaper watering holes towards the CBD.

I attended a work lunch here on a Friday recently! Sat in the cafe area out the back. There is a bar area at the front as well as a more fine dining restaurant within the hotel. They also have accommodation available which I wasn't aware of. As far as the menu goes, it was huge, so much to chose from. I ended up choosing the Vegetable Stack which was delicious - a selection of grilled vegetables with a crumbed polenta pattie on the side! I would head back here again for the same dish. It was a large table on the day and no-one had any complaints about their food. There was a great selection of dishes around the table from salads, to steak sandwiches to pasta dishes. For such a large table our food came pretty quickly and the staff were happy to assist with our queries! Price-wise my food was $22.00 and was a large serving which I think for a pub type meal in the city is about standard.

Most unaccommodating hotel ever. We decided to stay another night, & they jacked the price of our current room way up. We decided we'd take the cheaper room two doors over. Rather than let us move our stuff into the new room, they expected us to pack up, put our stuff in storage or the car, check out of one room, & then check into the new room (all while they knew I have broken bones & am pregnant). Then they came & did an in-room inspection before we left. Humiliating & bizarre! 5 star is a joke!!! We just left. Also, the in-room dining choices were pathetic. Poor customer service from people who barely speak English. Rooms are small. The door was peeling apart. That's not 5 star. Never stay here. Go to Crown Towers for nice amenities.

The cafe section of the Melbourne pretends to be a fine-dining restaurant during the weekday lunch period. Nice tablecloths disguise rickety lightweight tables and chairs and the expensive menu prices try to give the regular bistro menu more value than it deserves. The whole façade is obviously intended to capture some lunch business from the surrounding resource industry personnel and it succeeds in that goal. The smallish room fills up with people on the dot of 12noon and empties out again just as quickly at 1pm. The service is amazingly quick - to satisfy the resource workers that work long hours and to whom time means money. I haven't tried many of the dishes but I can advise that the tempura snapper is basically decent fish and chips with salad, the burgers are fine but cost over $20 and the grilled barramundi is nice but aims more for quantity than quality. Although I have been critical, I would eat at the Melbourne Cafe again as it is handy to my office, the service is fast and friendly, the food is ok and generally my lunches there are paid for by my company.

This beautiful old building mostly plays host to men over 40 who work in the resources sector and talk about the stock market whilst eating steak sandwiches and drinking beer. I've held a few conferences in their rooms and they have always done a great job.

If I had a dollar for every time I confused this place with The Brisbane Hotel (in Highgate) I'd be the richest lost guy ever right now. I never seem to get it right, so most of my visits to the Melbourne have been alone, looking around awkwardly, making several trips to the toilet to pass the time. It's a classy joint, and fairly easy going. I like the heritage facade and salvaged interiors. Good for a few laid back drinks on a Sunday arvo.

I've always admired this hotel/bar even if it is situated nowhere near its namesake. But I suppose we have the Brisbane Hotel in Perth also. Unlike the latter, this actually is a place of accomodation, and a really nice place to kick back and enjoy a beer even if you're not staying here. The Melbourne was built just before the turn of last century and its wonderful to see most of its heritage intact, unlike many other historic buildings in Perth which have had their best bits demolished and perhaps some pity excuse of a 'facade' only remaining. It's clean, white aesthetic means it also stands out amid the red-brick heritage buildings we're used to seeing in this city. Drinks are well-priced and the food on the menu all looks good, though I've yet to try any to be honest. Will have to make this a meeting place with a couple of friends to enjoy some bevvies and spot of pub grub, although grubby I strongly doubt the food will be.
