Guest Reviews
- Donna (10/5): Two night stay - perfect for walking to dinner and close to train station. - Close to all our needs - restaurants, train station
- zhang (9/5): -

- KAYLA (9/5): -
- Emily (9/5): -
- Seng Guan (5/5): - Location is great Poor cleaning daily
- Aliitasi (10/5): excellent - everything everything was good
- Maria (10/5): We had a very comfortable stay, was clean and modern - Was clean, staff so friendly, beds so comfortable was modern looking, breakfast was very good Liked everything about this property
- Collectomaniac8 (8/5): Excellent location and staff - Location was excellent! Right in the heart of the city in a quiet lane. Hardware Lane and all the main alleys through to the malls were just downstairs.
The Pretty Boy restaurant served a good breakfast and evening drink, and if you don't take the inclusive breakfast package, you're spoilt for choice a fee staples away from the hotel.
Staff were all so friendly and helpful.
I had an issue with the room that we had been allocated in that the lighting and lack of table meant u was not going to be able to work efficiently. After we checked in I reported this to the staff and the Duty Manager was right onto it, personally taking me to view another room that was more suitable. I was very impressed with that aspect of service.
The 4 lifts offered fast delivery up and down. We have recently stayed at hotels where they were extremely slow. These are efficient and quick.
The automated text welcome and other messages was a friendly way they kept in touch throughout our 2 night stay.
We will definitely stay again.
Thank you. Lighting in the Twin room was faulty and minimal. No table of desk. If you need more light for evening work and a table top, be sure to check this aspect out before booking

Cleanliness
Very helpful and very friendly staff , nothing was a problem for them
Great restaurants and bar within the hotel
So if you just want to dine in or just have a drink ‘Pretty Boy’ restaurant/bar is a perfect relaxed environment The toilets in the room. Not enough privacy
- Dina (10/5): -
- Fiona (9/5): Girls weekend away. - Fantastic location within easy walking distance to shopping, restaurants, Vic Market. Lovely clean rooms. Not a thing
- Bethzaida (9/5): -
- Tasseine (6/5): -
- Zarina (8/5): - Convenient Coachroach in thr bathroom. Not kid-friendly
- Meagher (6/5): Room and facilities not good enough for the price point. - Location and staff were wonderful Tiny room, air conditioning was terrible- was very warm in the room and couldn’t lower the air conditioning. Would hate to stay on a hot day! Deep at scratches on the television. Wallpaper coming off wall. Would expect this from a much cheaper room that 289 owe night. $80 for parking was well over priced.
- Erin (8/5): -
- GUNNY (6/5): -
- Quynh (9/5): My stay at Novotel Melbourne Central was pleasant. - The property was very close to most things in Melbourne Central. So convenient! The room was a little small, perhaps next time I hopefully will get a bigger room.

Not a very comfortable hotel for the price
And overall poor
- Peiyuan (9/5): -
- Paul (7/5): Central Access - Great location with plenty of places to eat nearby. We dined at the restaurant on our first night due to heavy rain, and the food was very good. The room lacked usable space. The wardrobe was only half-functional, with a sealed, unusable compartment beneath it, and the bedside tables had drawers that wouldn’t open.

- ZHAN (9/5): - Big room space.
The room is very clean.
There is beautiful city view. My family is assigned a exellent disabled-friendly room, but:
There are no hooks or tables in the bathroom, and the towel shelf space is limited.
The washstand table is small for three family members.
All the used towels are heaped up together after housekeeping on the second day, and I can't tell which is mine :).
- Raymond (4/5): - Breakfast was not available at the agreed rate at time
Of booking - staff were rude and unhelpful. They wanted to increase the price by double the agreed $25 agreed rate per person to $48.50 claiming public holiday and pre booking needed. Never mentioned at time of booking and a bit annoyed as this was the final morning of my stay Staff were rude
- Jessica (10/5): Great stay, location and accomodation. Will definitely return. - Great location, really nice room also.

- kerry (10/5): Lovely - Location and ease
- Felix (6/5): I had accidentery booked the Novotel at this wrong location, and when we tried ask if they could transfer the booking to - Breakfast Location
- Sandra (9/5): A very good stay in a central location and clean rooms. - Central location with easy access by public transit or walking. Clean rooms and quiet. Lots of great restaurants around.great buffet breakfast. The unclear communication between Pretty Boy restaurant and reception. 1. We were told by the reservation desk that we could use the vouchers for breakfast or dinner which wasn’t true. We tried to use it for dinner on the first height but was told by the restaurant it was only for breakfast. 2. At checkout the reception said our bill showed that we only paid for one breakfast on the first morning and we hadn’t paid for breakfast on the morning of departure. He said our bill showed we needed to pay for 3 more breakfast. We paid for all four breakfast. We showed him the receipt for that morning’s breakfast for two. We didn’t have the receipt for the first morning but showed him the credit card charge. He said he couldn’t tell it it was for the restaurant or not since it only showed the Novotel name on the receipt. He said he had no way of checking. He finally said he would clear the one breakfast we owed. This was a disappointing end to a very good stay.
- Carla (8/5): -
- Derek (7/5): A good stay but some policies were cheap and nasty. Room service excellent..room ok - Quality of breakfast was only ok. Egg station excellent range of other food only passable coffee awful and weird policy forced to pay for barista or using awful machine included. On paid breakfast which wasn't cheap...this was a cheap policy. No decent coffee facility on room...instant sachets.
- Paul (10/5): Over all very nice - All good Valet car parking was a bit expensive $80
- Xiaohui (8/5): Good. - I like the location. Walkable to free tram station. Many good food downstairs too. Overlay cafe is good! The make up service. It’s always late and done in the evening or at night when we were in the room. So it’s not clean daily.
- Rebecca (10/5): -
- Elizabeth (9/5): Great location to explore Melbourne! - Good location, nice room. Staff at check in were excellent Sometimes noisy guests in the hall coming in late
- Shameeha (6/5): - Room was clean Everything except the room. The lobby and outside the rooms were not clean
There was a long wait time for the lists
Too compact
There is an IBIS in the same building. so too overcrowded
I tried to contact the hotel two times before I arrived. No responses received

- Yolanda (10/5): -
- Smith (8/5): - I liked the area the hotel is in as well as the cleanliness of the room. I didn't love a staff member who was at the breakfast buffet area, they were a bit hostile and made us feel a bit out of place.
- Layla (10/5): -
- Shara (10/5): -
- Steven (8/5): -
- REYHAN GOK HUSSAIN (5/5): ok - Although the room had a good view, it did not meet our expectations. The bathroom was an accessible design and lacked an enclosed shower, which was inconvenient for our family. Our children were uncomfortable using the shower. We are not sure why this room was allocated to us
- Lishan (10/5): -
- LE NEVEZ (9/5): Easy, convenient and comfortable - Location was really good with close proximity to lots of cool eats and laneways. the service was great and the rooms were nice. Not really, we would stay again
- Abdul (7/5): Very good all round - Gym was small expensive parking Location
- Andrea (8/5): -
- Christine (9/5): -
- My Duyen (4/5): Wir werden nicht wieder ins Novotel gehen, aber ein Hotel in dieser Lage ist sehr gut. - Die Lage ist super. Wegen einer Sperrung konnten die Taxis nicht reinfahren und man muss sie ca. 200m vor dem Hotel treffen. Kann mit Gepäck mühsam sein bei Ankunft und Abreise. Das Personal war nicht so freundlich und hilfsbereit. Sie machen das nötigste aber mit keinerlei Motivation. Das Housekeeping war extrem schlecht. Die reinigen so schlecht, dass es auffällt. Mir fallt so was normalerweise nicht auf. Der Boden wurde nie gewischt, die Haare haben sich gesammelt Tag für Tag. An Tagen wo man morgens nicht rausgeht wird einfach nicht mehr geputzt. Bei Nachfrage hiess es: Wenn sie morgens Do not disturb haben, werden wir nicht nochmals vorbeischauen. Ok?!
- Holloway (9/5): News Years at Novotel Central - Room was great, beds larger than expected Ran low on loo paper
- Kate (7/5): -
