Family Friendly Hotels in Melbourne

We had a good time at Grand Hyatt during the summer - Christmas, boxing day test and Yarra Valley vineyard. Everything was very accessible from here. Especially the famous Lune cafe is just in front of the hotel. Make sure you get their corner units, it had a great panaroma view.

Great location for Southern Cross Marven Stadium. The staff were friendly and very helpful. TIP find other parking, the cheaper option from them is a bit of a hassle to get too. There is a carpark across the road so look that one up first. It may cost a bit more but much more convenient to the hotel. Food was good

To be allocated on ground floor is something you do not expect when you make reservation as such a high standard hotel. Even worse not to find a bottle of free mineral water.

Situated within the free tram zone, stations are just downstairs if not within a quick walk. The king bed room is large and spacious for easy packing and unpacking. It is new and clean that is the carpet has no smell. It is near Chinatown as well. The location is perfect next to great shopping malls, food options and transport services. They do not provide toothbrushes and room slippers for eco reasons. Check in was fast and smooth. There’s a water station on my floor to get a jug of still or sparkling water.

I want to give this hotel 10 stars!!! I booked a 6-night stay in Melbourne on a business trip. I was really satisfied with the stay and felt friendly and loved~ 1. The location of the hotel couldn't be better. It is just behind Melbourne Town Hall. You can walk to Collins Street, City Center and Chinatown for shopping and dining. There are two large parks in front and next to it, and there are full of coffee shops opposite 2. The hotel has a guide dog named Mr. Walker, who was raised by the Victorian Guide Dog Organization. He came to the hotel when he was over 1 year old and became the guide dog ambassador of the hotel! He patrols the lobby for one hour every day from Monday to Saturday at 10:30 am and 15:30 pm! Help special people in need. The dog was raised by the staff's love. He is now over nine years old and very strong. He is quiet at work and very lively after work. The staff said that he would go for a walk, take a bath and sleep after dinner every day. 3. The staff are very friendly and answer all questions. There are also several Chinese staff members who are expected to provide better help. 4. The hotel room is too big, much bigger than several accommodations of the same brand and price in Australia! 5. The hotel has its own tennis court, which is charged by the hour, but I didn't go there. It looks very big from the room. 6. The sanitation is super good. The auntie cleans up every time and provides drinking water. This is my first time in Melbourne. It's a really great city! I will come to see this dog named Walker again.

Came here as a ‘staycation’ for one night to celebrate my partners birthday. Service was good, the reception team made us feel so welcomed. Room was clean and the view of the river and bay was superior, as the name of this room type described. 10/10 👍🏼 we also used the gym which had a nice view too!

The Howey is a hidden gem! We were in need of a last minute hotel for a family of 5 and chanced upon The Howey. We had two rooms, one with a king bed and sofa/sitting area and the second room with a king bed and queen size pull out sofa. The rooms were clean, modern, well-maintained and the location was perfect. We could walk anywhere in the CBD in 15 minutes or less and were immediately next to tons of restaurants and shopping. The hotel is tucked away on Howey Place, just off of Little Collins between Swanston and Elizabeth Streets. Superb location but just far enough from the major thoroughfares to be quiet and restful. Overall, it was an excellent stay and we plan to reserve again in the future.

We are very disappointed with the management of this hotel. We booked seven rooms and chose twin beds (can be a king-size bed or a twin bed). On January 13, we contacted Ctrip customer service to make changes, changing to 2 king-size beds, 4 twin beds, and 1 triple room. After communicating with the hotel, Ctrip customer service replied to the email saying that the change had been made and that the change to a triple room could be paid on the spot. The day before check-in, we specifically called the hotel reservation department and the front desk, but they didn't know about the room type change. We explained the situation over the phone again, and they said they had recorded it. In the evening, we were worried, so a staff member went to the hotel front desk specifically to confirm again. The hotel front desk actually said that they didn't know about this situation, but they could record it. They recorded the required room type on the spot, and then we paid the upgrade fee for the triple room. I thought it would be okay now. As a result, when the guests checked in the next day, there was still a mistake in the room, and the bed was left as a king-size bed. Finally, it took more than half an hour to coordinate and change the room again! ! How can such management be rated as a five-star hotel? ? ?

The hotel is located at the city Centre and just near the southern cross train station. It is very convenient for the travelers to explore the city by tram or other transportations. The breakfast is good and friendly staff to help. The bed size of twin rooms is quite tiny that could be improved for better stay experience. Overall we were satisfied to stay at the hotel in Melbourne. Will recommend to friends and everyone who is going to visit Melbourne.

It is nice place to stay. Although the location isn't in CBD, you could take the tram (more than 6 lines) to directly to connect to CBD. The facility is very clean. The service staffs are friendly, and Nice. If you have an issue for something (heating or breakfast), their response is very quickly and provide options. The gym is also nice. Also, they have sauna and swimming pool. You could jog along the Elbert Park located in front of hotel as well. I've stayed for 3 nights and satisfied with facility and staff service.
