We stayed for 5 days, Wednesday to Monday. I had reserved a King Corner Room which was very comfortable. |However, I had some issues with the auxiliary services. Whilst the room service was adequate I had to ask for items like tea bags and coffee to be restocked. When I queried the Reception Staff I was told rooms were only serviced on request. I disputed this as the room was serviced for the two days prior to my raising the issue. It's perplexing that an establishment that charges such high daily rates would expect that customers would be satisfied with their approach. |The other auxiliary service that was disappointing was the daily breakfast. In our five day stay there was no variety in the available choices. The first two days the staff were very lackadaisical with clearing crockery and cutlery reducing the number of available tables. Over the weekend the ladies on duty were much more diligent and conscientious. |For a reputed 4-5 star hotel a lot is left to be desired.

Excellent service. I really felt welcomed in a genuine way. There was a minor issue with the aircon and in my room and a staff member came and fixed it immediately. Room was spacious, bed was very comfortable and I appreciated the blackout curtains. Location was perfect. Just across from the train station.

Room was clean, though bathroom was a bit compact for a taller, square shouldered person. Service was very warm and helpful. Parking was detached, was a bit of a challenge to access after hours, though was for a full 24 hours so good value.

AVOID THIS HOTEL AT ALL COSTS. I have come back to my room at 9pm to find it has not been made up. I called reception only to be told that this is the only 4 star hotel in the world where the room will only be made up on request. It is not written anywhere, and we were not advised at check in. The managers respond to the reviews by saying it is in their TV compendium and oolnkine listing. I have checked. It is not on their online listings and no one looks in the TV compendium because it isn't 1982. Add to this, they have a best rate guarantee on their website which they did not honour - and when challenged, advised that because the rate was through a third party website, they wouldn't honour it (the idea is that you find it cheaper on a third party website and the main hotel offers the best price) Nice rooms. Nice location. Pretty hotel. Terrible experience. Go somewhere else.

Our entire experience at the Savoy was good. Check in and out was handled efficiently. We were in a "loft" room on the 2nd floor. The room was a good size. However, as a loft room the bedroom was upstairs and the toilet was downstairs, not good if night time toilet trips are required :-). The hotel is in a good location, 5 mins walk from the Skybus terminus, across the road from Spencer St station and 2 mins to the nearest tram stop.||We would stay there again.

A gem of a small hotel just across the road from Southern Cross Station in Spencer street. Comfortable rooms clean & generally quiet. Higher accessible to trams and easy walk to the MCEC & Casino.

We have stayed at this hotel regularly, but after this visit we will seriously have to consider whether we’ll return. The stay started well, with an efficient check in. Things, however, went quickly downhill. Firstly, we were very disappointed/shocked to be told that daily room service is no longer something the hotel offers. Instead, we were to let the front desk know if we needed new towels (and toilet paper). This had to be done on a daily basis and could not be organised ahead of time. The rooms with interlocking doors provide no privacy at all, as they are far from soundproof (and unfortunately our next door neighbour was very loud and inconsiderate throughout the night). We were told we could ring reception if it was an issue again the following night (not actually possible as the phone in the room wasn’t working). Add to this poor wifi (it constantly cut out, not helpful for business travellers) and we were getting rather fed up. None of that, however, compared to what happened next: a mouse in our 11th floor room. Admittedly they offered us a new room immediately, but if mice are on the top floor, where else may they be? So all in all, very much a below par stay. And I’m sorry, but a complimentary drink each did not make up for the trauma experienced by this rodent phobic.

I only stayed one night here but I had a great time. I actually had a problem with my airbnb, and had to find a place quickly for the evening. Luckily the Savoy was nearby and reasonably priced (and had availability). The lobby looks renovated, all clean and marble-y. There isn't a doorman or automatic doors, which was slightly annoying to me since I was traveling heavy. Ashleigh at reception was really nice and helpful. The room was nice (room 811, photos below) - I had a single queen room and I found it to be perfect. The bathroom was pretty sexy and the view was great - you can see Southern Cross Station out the window! I opted for the pre-paid breakfast - note that you book it in advance, but then pay for it later. They had a wonderful spread of hot breakfast and also yogurts, pastries and fruits. I couldn't try everything. The only thing I didn't care for was the carpets in the hallways - it's plush which is nice, but it was really hard to wheel my suitcases to my room. So I took them one at a time. Would stay here again and would recommend.

Good location but small rooms. It was walking distance to the Docklands and the city center so it made for a good central location. The rooms are small but clean. They also don't offer free wifi in the room except for a free 30 minutes in the lobby. This place was decent if you're only there to sleep and shower.

The Vibe in Spencer st is a prime example of pretentious BS personified. The best thing about this place is the beautiful facade of the heritage listed building its in. Opposite Southern Cross station in a premium location central to everything that is Melbourne, it offers four star accommodation at 10 star prices. It does house a cool bar that's open til late but you'll pay a premium price for the drinks as well. The restaurant, as you could guess is overpriced for snobbish shit food. Bleeding steaks with a bit of asparagus for $50 just doesn't cut it for me. Parking on site, 24 hour reception and all the mod cons you'd expect for a nice hotel. The problem is just a block up you can get a lot better service, views of the Docklands, just as nice rooms and the same facilities and services for half the price. May be good as a conference venue because it does have about five different function spaces. But for me, Vibe definitely need to up the ante - Harbour View and the Atlantis are just up the road kicking their asses all over the place.

As far as good budget accommodation goes Vibe Savoy really hit the mark for me. I have stayed in quite a few 'çheap hotels' throughout Melbourne over the years and this really takes the cake. Check in was extremely simple and the customer service here was excellent. The staff took my bags, as I was early and stored them for me, delivering them to my room before I returned. They also offered to store my friend's bag who was flying out of Melbourne later that day. The room, was excellent, no views to speak of but I wasn't planning on spending any time in my room other then for sleeping anyway. I did have a window facing some terraces, so it did have a nice outlook. I was very happy with how clean the hotel was which is generally my main concern wherever I stay. The rooms have been extremely well renovated and they have certainly done a great job restoring the original features of this hotel that was originally built in 1925. My room included a bath which was a nice bonus. Heating was excellent and there was a well stocked mini-bar and movies all available for a price. Location-wise, if you are going to Etihad Stadium or need to be close to Southern Cross Station this is a great location to stay, it is also close to the CBD with multiple trams running for the nearby streets, and walking distance or a tram ride to Crown and South Wharf. The Skybus is also literally crawling distance from the hotel for easy access to and from the airport. Depending on what booking site you use you should be able to book a room here for well under $100.00 a night. I would highly recommend Vibe Savoy as a low budget hotel option. I really couldn't fault my stay here. Great work Vibe Savoy, I will definitely be back at some stage.

The bar here is great! It's been updated recently and now serves American style food. The atmosphere, food and drink are worth a visit! Another great spot in Melbourne and really good place to drop by for pre-game drinks before heading to Etihad Stadium.

This is a late check in from me, note lunch is from 12-2pm. A cool retreat on a warm afternoon & they do an awesome porterhouse! Have had many a lunch here & always found the food great & the staff lovely. Thanks to Hung & Peter for the exemplary service, it is always a pleasure:)

I attended a wedding here last year, and booked a room for the night. The room itself was pretty small and basic, old style furniture, and no view. I expected much more for the price we were paying. The bed was pretty uncomfortable, and the aircon wasn't too flash, so I spent most of the night tossing and turning. The wedding reception itself was also less than I expected. The food was below average, and the service was too. Overall, the best thing about this place was its location, opposite Southern Cross and Hungry Jacks, which came in very handy after the wedding when we all needed food!

City hotel rooms are expensive no matter where you go, so of course Melbourne is no different. The Vibe is located in a great spot in the city.You are therefore paying for the location more than anything else. The heritage listed building is beautiful on the outside, with architecture from another era. On the inside the building is far more modern and doesnt have anywhere near the grandeur you might expect from the outside. But the rooms suit your purpose if you are looking for a clean comfortable place to stay in the city. I had no concerns during my stay, though I am fairly easy to please so if you are fussy perhaps my review may not meet your standards. Check in and out was very straight forward. I found the bed comfortable, and slept very well.To me, that is all that is important unless you are looking for a really special stay on a special occasion. Like i said stay for the location.

Great location , if you re going to jeffs shed or along the river for a night out,as you're only a short walk back to here. The rooms are nice and new, but the bathrooms were built for very small people, maybe Asian influence ? Not sure, but I'm only 5'2 and small build and I was not that happy with the postage stamp bathroom. I could see some people just able to use it.

Stayed a few nights here on a recent trip to Australia. Location was perfect. Transport hub and all the shops you need just across the street. The rooms are great if you generally plan to just shower and sleep there (which was my plan). Loved the climate control. Hated the tiny bar fridge that was filled with over-priced items leaving little room for me to place my own stuff purchased from the supermarket across the street. The rooms could probably do with a spruce up, paint and carpet especially. Hallway smelt a little off when exiting lift each day. Id recommend putting the TV up on the wall and eliminate the gigantic unit it sits in and it'd really open up the small space. Bed was very comfortable. Good value meals in the downstairs bar. If you just need a place to sleep in a prime location with everything at the doorstep, then this place will suit nicely. With a few small improvements it could really become a premium hotel.

I would not recommend this hotel. It's biggest issue is that two rooms on every floor look into a center, enclosed courtyard of sorts above the restaurant. So essentially our room was above the restaurant and looked directly across to the elevators. Even worse, you had to have the thick curtains drawn so people couldn't see right into your room, making your room for all intents and purposes windowless. It was completely bizarre, having your hotel room function as an aquarium for the rest of the floor. The one in ten chance that you might get one of these rooms is reason enough not to stay here. They also charge $22 per day for wifi, which is totally archaic for a four star hotel these days. The staff are also completely ambivalent and unknowledgeable. It was unclear how to have our car taken care of as there is no doorperson or valet, so I ducked into an alley while my partner ran in to inquire. They instructed us to do a u-turn at the end of the street on a busy stretch of road across from Southern Station during rush hour! When she suggested that wasn't really feasible all she said was that she did not recommend trying to otherwise get us turned around. And when my partner left she told her 'good luck.' On one occasion I called down to ask if they had laundry service or could recommend a laundromat. They said they would get right back to us but never called back. They also had brochures out for a free fitness pass to a local gym. When we asked about the brochures the next day the reception person had no clue what we were talking about, and when he eventually clued in he vaguely explained they were part of some 'fitness package' which he couldn't articulate, let us have the pass anyway, and sent us off to the gym which wasn't open as it's closed weekends. Absolutely ridiculous. This hotel is a joke and was the only bad part of our stay in Melbourne.
